1) THE GHOST OF THE MISERABLE LANDLORD - A building on Panska street has a very bad reputation. The evil landlord who lived here ill-treated his employees and had a violent temper. His wealth was not enough, so he decided to sell his soul to the devil in return for power and authority. When the time came to settle up, he decided to cheat and delay the time of reckoning. One day, he drew crosses on all the doors and windows in his house, so that the devil could not enter. He forgot to mark a small lavatory window, through which the devil entered and dragged him straight to the hell, tearing his skin and severely disfiguring his body. To this day, the ghost of the evil landlord appears in the city.

2) THE GHOST WHO DRUNK HIMSELF TO DEATH FOR A COW -
There was an Inn where people came after a successful days trade for a glass or two of beer. One day, two men were arguing as to who could drink two steins of beer the quickest. The prize for that feat was a cow. The winner, however, died later that night.
After his death, he appeared to the owner of the inn as a ghost, and blamed the owner for the ghost's own stupidity. The story goes that only after praying for the soul of the deceased victor at St. Vitus church, the innkeeper was able to get a peaceful night's sleep.

3) THE GHOSTLY CONGREGATION - In the church of St. Vitus, a local vicar fell asleep in the confessional box. He didn't notice that the congregation left the church, and slept through the doors being closed and bolted. He awoke at midnight and saw a ghostly congregation attending service!
The story goes that the next morning, the Vicar's hair had turned completely white from fright.
