Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: A man (soldier, maid) who claims to fear nothing makes a bet that he is brave enough to go to a graveyard at night. As proof of his visit, he is going to stick a knife (fork, spindle) in one of the graves. The man does this, but when he sticks the knife into the grave, it catches his clothing. When he tries to leave, he feels that he is caught and thinks the dead person (the devil) is pulling him back. He dies of fright. The next morning, he is discovered lying on the grave [N384, N384.2].
