The folktale was retold in English by Arthur Michell Ransome and later used as an episode of Creator/JimHenson's ''Series/TheStoryteller''.

* FlyingDutchman: "Literature/TheSoldierAndDeath" ([[https://www.gutenberg.org/files/49278/49278-h/49278-h.htm link]]) ends with the eponymous soldier being unable to enter either Heaven or Hell, and thus condemned to walking the earth forever. To the story's credit, mentioning this doesn't actually give away anything that makes it interesting.
