According to the legend, a ghost impregnated the farmers daughter, foretold her accidental death and that their son would become a priest. He would meet his fate during his first services in front of the altar of the Feykisholar Church. There he would turn the evangelium to the devils words and the church would sink unless someone would pierce him with a sword tempered in holy water. The priest was pierced and the church did not vanish, but according to the prophesy of the ghost, it burnt down soon afterwards. Nothing remained of the priest but three drops of blod. An old coneshaped wellhouse, constructed of turf, stood on the property until recent times.
