witch spoils the cattle
By building came a strange, unknown up to the womenfolk Bärchi, stopped at Salome Josten, begging for some food and shelter for the dawn of night. These women did not like the people. However, he boiled the Salome-Nänni milk, but did enter a little holy water, brought her into the room and introduced her to the women folk on the table, with the meaning, it should help oneself. This looked so strange to the milk, they are left untouched and toxic said: "Hättisch-mer si Nitt prücht z'versywä" without supper, it moved to a camp in the barn, locked the Nänni the outside carefully. As Nänni opened the next morning, the stranger was gone and was the only cow in the barn on the ground dead. This has happened a few decades ago.

The legend of Manschettler
The area of Gitschenen said to have been frequently visited by the legendary figure of the horse or rider Manschettlers in earlier times. On a show horse he was riding at night from her Fruttkäppeli, according to other variants of foot Beroldingen of construction and the Bärchi. The Manschetler rode through all the way up to Isenthal Gitschenen. The head was hidden by a big floppy hat. At the gleaming white coat sleeve cuffs. Under the hooves of the horse then whizzing sparks flew out and in the book in which he blew past, crackled and rustled the leaves. In Gitschenen always had a room be made available to the rider. When he went to bed, his cough was heard us groan. It was believed that it was the repentant spirit of a former owner of Gitschenen, a great man of Altdorf, according to others of a rich Beroldingen. It is to Berggut and Alp Gitschenen quarreled at times awful and very often been unfairly shared. One woman said, "When I was a child, I have seen the Manschettler often when I played at St. Jakob with my bailiffs hiding. He was sitting with head tilted forward on the threshold of the door and had a great Gaden Tellerschinhut." Especially the Manschettler lived in the Bear Forest and Sonninghorlachen. In the house of the last mountain he had good people no peace came at night and Sennet and fumbled quite openly, as if he were at home. Recently, she asked someone for advice, who knew his way around. This advised them to push a stick with an iron tip into the room wall. That helped.
