Kisah dan tradisi
Gravso, gloso, atau glumso adalah babi gaib dalam kepercayaan rakyat Denmark; bila berperan sebagai penjaga gereja ia disebut kirkeso. Ia muncul di atau dekat pemakaman, terutama di Denmark dan Skåne, tetapi juga sering berkeliaran di tempat lain. Di Swedia selatan ia dikenal sebagai gloson atau gluffsuggan. Wujudnya digambarkan beragam: hitam, merah, atau tanpa kepala, kadang ditemani tujuh atau dua belas anak babi. Matanya merah atau menyala, punggungnya setajam pisau dengan bulu kaku yang panjang; di Swedia selatan dikatakan ia suka berlari di antara kaki orang untuk merobek mereka. Catatan tertua berasal dari Kopenhagen tahun 1587, ketika pendeta Hans Lauritzen menulis tentang hantu pertanda maut yang disebut "babi kelabu Santo Clemens". Menurut sebagian tradisi, gravso sebenarnya arwah anak yang lahir dan dibunuh secara diam-diam; pendeta Joachim Junge mencatat kepercayaan ini di Sjælland Utara dan menambahkan bahwa babi itu sangat berbahaya bagi orang yang membawa dompet dari kandung kemih babi.
The gravso, gloso or glumso is a supernatural pig of Danish folk belief; when it acts as a church guardian it is called the kirkeso. It appears at or near churchyards, chiefly in Denmark and Scania, though it often roams elsewhere too. In southern Sweden it is known as the gloson or gluffsuggan. Its looks vary: black, red or headless, sometimes followed by a litter of seven or twelve piglets. Its eyes are red or glowing and its back is knife-sharp with long bristles; in southern Sweden it was said to like running between people's legs to slit them open. The oldest record comes from Copenhagen in 1587, when the minister Hans Lauritzen wrote of a death-omen ghost known as 'Saint Clemens' grey sow'. Some traditions say the gravso is really the ghost of a child born and killed in secret; the minister Joachim Junge recorded this belief in North Zealand and added that the sow was especially dangerous to people carrying a purse made of a pig's bladder.
