Bäckahästen means brook horse; this was the name of a mythological horse in Scandinavian folklore. She would appear near rivers in foggy weather, and whoever decided to ride on her back was unable to off again. The horse would then jump into the river, drowning the rider. Celtic folklore describes shape shifting horses called kelpies, and it is thought that she may be a kelpie.
