Ghost of Stenbock House
In a ghost story about Stenbock House, a girl in a bloodstained dress appears; it is folklore, not a verified event.
Stenbock House on the slope of Toompea is now a government building, but local tales give it an after-hours life. One story describes a girl in a bloodstained dress. Neither the sighting nor an event offered to explain it should be treated as established history. The contrast is the point: ceremonial columns and the work of government take on an uneasy tone in the tale. Folklore changes the way a familiar building is seen.
