    though it is there for nearly a century, yet the water never effaces the blood from the stone.
    The story is of how the landlord of that countryside who lived in this castle, killed a young man on the spot where his blood remains by shooting him from the castle window. Many people come to see this historic place, try to scrape the blood from the stone, but all of no use.
