Beheaded pirate ghosts disturb the hostel guests sleep
We warn you – some of our guests believe they have seen the pirate Morten Thode walk around restlessly at midnight to look for his head at Danhostel Ribe in Denmark!
The pirate Morten Thode and his men were beheaded in 1555 and then their heads were put on stakes at the Hovedengen (Meadow of Heads) located at the entrance to the harbour. Meadow of the Heads is the meadow just outside our hostel.
