The Headless Mule of Araújo Island
On Araújo Island there is a very high "Pau D'Alho". Around it, forming a perfect circle, are groupings of stones — including the "Mirror Stone". Whoever crosses the circle at midnight on a full moon night can see the Headless Mule: she is eternally imprisoned in the circle of stones, condemned to never escape.
