I like the legend of the Black Horse, from the village of Trois-Pistoles in Quebec, where my mother was born. But there are many variants from other places in Quebec.

For those who drink the Trois-Pistoles beer, that's the black horse you see on the image.

You can read about this legend [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Horse_(legend)).
