Mjölby mill village & the Svartån falls

Östergötland · Sverige · Site of legend

Mjölby was a mill village at the rapids of the Svartån already in the 12th century. At running water and mills folk belief placed the Neck (the stream-man, the mill-gnome) — a fiddling figure luring especially children and women into the water. The tales were told to keep children from swift water. [Mill history documented; the Neck is general, well-attested folklore, not a named local legend.]
