My grandfather saw a nisse in Hadeland when he was 15 or something.. : p

[Vikingskog]

@DaVinci881 Haha tøft

[kitsuneateagreeley]

I'm not sure if I have already asked you this but do you believe in these creatures?

[Vikingskog]

I belive in nisser a bit :) but im not sure about the others. They never had a large presence here in my area, so i will decide when i move to the mountain villages, thats where the folklore creatures presence has always been strongest.

I bet the Nisse is why my great great great grandfather moved from Norway to America. :P

[cuzgandalfgothigh99]

norway is an ancient and mysterious country indeed. i even have a nisse here at my farm helping me. also, they are most likely invisible to people that dont believe in them. my father saw a troll footprint once, he said it was like 2 times bigger then him. one of those mountain trolls i guess. occasionally i take a trip to the forests or caves/mountains to look for these creatures.

Lumsk - Trolling Tekst:

Vilja du høyra historia

om Trolltindane i Romsdal?

det gjekk seg slik at dei vart te'

da jotnane skulle gifta seg

-og brurefølgjet seg på ferda

Giftarmålet skulle stå

i trollkyrkja som var deira

ved foten av fjellet Romsdalshorn

alle jotnane skulle feira

[OrthrusTails]

Nokre av jotnane kom langvegs frå

og starta tidleg med festen

ølbollen vandra i ring blant dei

som gjekk på den brurevei

-og tida ho blei ikkje lange

Tida var gløymd og natta blei lang

dei spøkte og lo og fnisa

dess meir dei supa og lo og song

dei nærma seg umerkeleg krisa
