 The Saeftinghe legend, says that once glorious city was flooded and ruined by sea waters due to the All Saints' flood, that was flooded in 1584, due to a mermaid being captured and mistreated, and mentions the bell tower still rings.This is much like the story (Westenschouwen) which also concerns the mistreated mermaid, followed by a curse and flood.In some flood legends, the church bells or clock bells of sunken cities still can be heard ringing underwater.
