- When Willo the Wisp was living on earth he was a blacksmith and no one could play any trick on him. When he died he went to hell. He knocked at the door and a man came to the door and he said you could have me on earth but I will have you now and he gave him a wisp of straw and sent him away and now he is running up and down the meadows at night. He is seen before dawn.
