4/ “In the year 1400, the knight Siegbert von Hainsburg abducted the noble maiden Elsbethe von Kunitzburg from the convent at Eisenberg. He married her at the home of a sympathetic serf belonging to the convent,[10] and lived a happy and blessed life with her until his demise. However, after their death this was judged to be a major sin to their account, and they had to spend one hundred years of torment in purgatory. But then, after the convent had long been abandoned and the village of Scortowe had been razed in the Thirty Years War, they had to stage mock weddings in the same location. They were to repeat this in every tenth leap year on the day of the full moon while the sun was located in the sign of Cancer, until a poor, but honest and fearless girl would visit them three hours before midnight and ask for something. Many years have passed since then, and thirty-three leap years have gone by, many people have seen the abandoned village, but no honest girl has dared to approach it alone during the blessed hour. Pray an Ave Maria for our restless souls!”
In this manner, the honest, brave girl had released the poor couple and helped them find peace in the grave. The blessing of this deed remained, however, and showed itself throughout her entire fortunate life. It was as if the ghosts from the village of Scortowe who had attained the longed-for peace had always gratefully watched out for her, and faithfully guarded and protected her.
