“Turning
the visions” is perhaps known as “illusions”. There are many stories told in
the world of magic or stage magic tricks. Whatever magic it may be, those
tricks are mainly exploiting optical illusions mainly. But we will never know…

When the Göing turned the vision on the
audience
One time a
bunch of Göings held sales by Ekebo near Helsingborg. Each and every one had
their pieces they wanted to sell in the nearby city. One of them had a very
long pump log of wood. One of the Göings, said that he would be able to crawl
through the narrow pump log. The
others claimed the thing impossible, but the man started to crawl, seemingly
through the hollow log.
While they were
astonished at the miracle, a girl came walking by. When she saw all the Göings
looking at a hole she asked, what they were looking at and got replied to, that
the Göing was crawling through the pump log. But then the girl said “But don't you
see that he's crawling on the outside of the log?” In the same moment she said this, she saw
herself being surrounded by water, and started to lift her skirt to wade
through the water. The bystanders now started to look at her, wondering what
was happening which took the attention away from the pump crawler.
It can be
mentioned that the bystanders didn't notice any water and hence it was believe
that the man, that was said to be able to do magic, in revenge over the girl
having revealed him, let her think she was surrounded by water, so that she
through her behavior would get the bystanders attention.

A man in
Attmar could “turn the vision”.
He had one
time been sentenced to 40 pairs of lashings due to a few manipulations. But
during the 80 whipping not a sound did touch the man's lips, and just as little
a drop of blood from his back.
When the
whipping was finished, and the tormentor was going to let the man go from the
stocks, he got the solution to the riddle. He saw the man, both in the stocks,
and beside it, so it isn't bad at all to be able to “turn the vision”.
Title: The Bredsjö-Finn turns the vision on the
sheriff
Notetaker: Carl-Herman Tillhagen
Messenger: Kalle Karlsson
Parish/Town: Liden
The
Bredsjö-Finn was suspected for moonshining. However it was, the sheriff was going
to his house to check on him. The Bredsjö-Finn had a distiller, but when the
sheriff came, he turned the distiller into a beautiful girl. It was all he saw,
so the Finn was very slick at magic.
