Three laps to the house at night

In Ataun it is said that at night it´s bad luck to go round the house three times, but it´s ok with a bouquet of laurel in your hand. Every evening a group of women gathered in the hamlet closest to Erremedy to do some knitting.

One night one of them, called Kattalin, bet the rest that she would go around the farmhouse three times. And she did two laps but when she was on the third one she disappeared. A while later the following phrase was heard in Kattalinzubi: Kattalin, the Devil has taken you. And no one heard of Kattalin ever again.
