Povesť o hrade
Na Hričove vládla starnúca vdova, už určite zmierená s tým, že dožije bez väčších škrupúľ. Netušila však, že pán susednej Lietavy, František Thurzo, dostal slinu na Hričovské panstvo. Často osamelú vdovu navštevoval. Nedalo mu snáď ani veľkú námahu presvedčiť citlivú šľachtičnú o svojej vrúcnej náklonnosti. Veď chudinka žila isto s pocitom, že jej odchádza posledný kočiar. V poslednej chvíli však vzala rozum do hrsti a namiesto svadby, ktorú si tak prialo jej srdce, ponúkla Thurzovi adoptívne materstvo s dedičným právom. Aký však bol pre ňu šok, keď jej novopečený vyrastený synáčik dosiahol svoj cieľ a uvrhol ju úbohú do temnej kobky na Hričovskom hrade.
Nejaký čas žil Thurzo spokojne vo svojom novom sídle. Jedného pochmúrneho večera zaklopal na dvere hradu starý mních a žiadal o vypočutie. Mrzutý pán ho nechal vyhodiť. Mních vyšplhal na skalisko pred hrad a začal vykrikovať "Boh vidí zlo, ktoré činíš! Boh ťa potrestá!" Thurzo vyrušený s kľudného popíjania nechal starého mnícha uväzniť. Kým však dopil ďalšiu čašu vína, stál mních opäť na skale a kričal "Boh vidí! Boh ťa potrestá!" To všetko sa opakovalo niekoľkokrát, ale mních sa vždy vrátil a zo skaly napomínal krutého majiteľa hradu.
Za svitania sa pološialený Thurzo prebral, a na skalisku stál skamenený mních, ktorý akoby stále volal "Boh ťa vidí!" Thurzo nechal skalu rozbiť, ale ráno bol kamenný mních opäť na svojom mieste. Hnaný neznesiteľnými výčitkami, dal prepustiť hradnú pani. Neskoro. Sotva uzrela svetlo slobody, vydýchla naposledy. Od tej chvíle sa ujali vlády na hrade duchovia a svojou tajomnou mocou vypudili všetko živé. Len na skalisku stojí stále kamenný mních a uprene hľadí k hradu.
The rumor about the castle
Hričova was ruled by an aging widow, already reconciled to the fact that she would live to live without major scruples. However, she had no idea that the lord of the neighboring Lietava, František Thurzo, got saliva on the Hričovské manor. He often visited the lonely widow. It probably didn't take much effort for him to convince the sensitive noblewoman of his warm affection. After all, the poor woman certainly lived with the feeling that her last carriage was leaving. However, at the last moment, she took her wits into her fist and instead of the wedding that her heart so desired, she offered Thurz adoptive motherhood with inheritance rights. But what a shock it was for her when her newly grown son reached his goal and threw her poor into a dark dungeon at Hričovský Castle.
For some time, Thurzo lived contentedly in his new residence. One gloomy evening, an old monk knocked on the door of the castle and asked to be heard. The grumpy master had him fired. The monk climbed onto the rock in front of the castle and started shouting "God sees the evil you do! God will punish you!" Disturbed from his peaceful drinking, Thurzo had the old monk imprisoned. But before he finished another glass of wine, the monk stood on the rock again and shouted "God sees! God will punish you!" All this was repeated several times, but the monk always returned and admonished the cruel owner of the castle from the rock.
At daybreak, the half-mad Thurzo recovered, and on the rock stood a petrified monk who seemed to keep calling out "God sees you!" Thurzo had the rock broken, but by morning the stone monk was back in place. Driven by unbearable remorse, he had the lady of the castle released. Late. As soon as she saw the light of freedom, she breathed her last. From that moment on, the ghosts took over the castle and expelled all living things with their mysterious power. Only a stone monk still stands on the rock and stares intently at the castle.
