The unhappiness of the unfair decision of her parents were great, so you do not bore and committed suicide, falling from the big rock that appears at the entrance of the village. After some time and her parents died. Today, many people argue that some nights, they heard cries and screams to the point of suicide.
Not raising their eyes on the rock, facing the perpetual shadow of a girl who looks like wearing a white wedding dress. To proceed slowly on the rock, to jib and after a while falling.
