Near the pilgrimage church at the Meadow there is a small forest. Once a woman went on a pilgrimage to the Meadow and wanted to rest at an inn, as it was night. She saw many lights and there was plenty of food on the tables, but all guests were unknown to her. Frightened, she exclaimed: “Jesus! Maria! Where am I?” Suddenly she sat high up on a fir tree, and there were horse droppings in front of her instead of food. She had encountered the Night Hunt.
