She was known by the name "Big Märet" because she had a younger sister with the same name called "Small Märet" Jonsdotter. Background and Accusation In the autumn of 1667, a little shepherd boy in Älvdalen in Dalarna, Mats Nilsson, claimed to have seen a girl lead goats over Eastern Dalälven by walking on the water at Hemmansäng by Åsen.
