I'm sorry Norway. If I pronounced stuff wrong coming into number 10, we have the demon dog of the accessors fortress
Did I say that right built in the 1300s the castle of ice castles was paramount in defending?
Oslo later the building became a prison with rumors of cruelty rife
the Nazis occupied the building in World War two or so the fortress is said to be rife with ghosts including a
Faceless robe wearing woman the most popular legend. Is that of the demon dog called Malc?
Anacin mark Aniston is a bad omen and the legend goes if you see the shaggy straight you will die a horrible death
At some point over the next three months great. This might be the only dog that I know in fancy stroking
Usually I'm like yay dogs, but no boo the Death Bringer coming in at number nine. We have the dragon
The dragon is a figure from Norse mythology that many Norwegians still believe in today
The dragon is a seafaring phantom
The ghost of a person who is said to have died at sea the dragon is said to be seen on
Stormy nights trying to get to shore and a splintered and wrecked boat
the face of a
Dragon is said to be fish like with black eyes and with seaweed hair
it is said that those who sail in a storm are likely to encounter the dragon who will draw the
Min-suk them into a whirlpool and pour them beneath the water
Drowning them and taking their vessels these fishermen and sailors are then said to rise through the water as to algún themselves
Surrounded by ocean you can imagine why this legend is so popular and so terrifying in Norway that's children beware of the doh
Dragon at number eight the dough dragon is an urban legend to keep kids in check
Ladies and gentlemen kids teens brace yourself at dough dragon is a toilet spirit a slimy
Malevolent monster that hides inside the u-bend a bit like a cross between Moaning Myrtle and mr. Hankey the Christmas poo
it seems that the dough dragon originated in the
1970s sometimes the creature is depicted as a serpent
Sometimes as a ghost
Whatever the shape the dough dragon is said to prey on bad kids
If a child's been acting out the dough dragon is said to drag them away down the sewers yikes
Coming in at number 7. We have Dark Elves
Norse mythology was all about an elf elves have been part of Norwegian folklore for thousands of years and they come in both
benevolent and malevolent forms night elves are said to be mini gods of nature that bring love and light and
Inspiration these elves were good craftsmen and said to be kind in so many ways
However, we aren't here to talk about the good stuff because this is scary Norwegian urban legends
These good elves do also have the ability to be harmful to humans. If they annoy them they can easily cause illnesses
However, it is the Dark Elves. You want to watch out for known as savart alpha
These elves are ugly beings that turned to stone in sunlight. So instead they live in dark gloomy areas
These elves are said to taunt animals, especially horses making them bolt
They're also said to give humans terrible nightmares whether anyone's at the stage truly believes in them, Salona
The dark elves are often blamed for scary dreams a coccyx at number 6
We have the Kraken the Kraken isn't a modern-day urban legend
It's an ancient tale from Norse mythology and folklore, but it is still a popular tale today
As a sea monster of giant size and epic proportions are said to live between the coast of Norway Sweden Iceland and Greenland
the creature whose name translates
to an unhealthy animal is said to be a mile and a half wide and would take down even the biggest and most equipped of
Ships sucking them into the bottom of the ocean like with the legend of the dragon the Kraken came from a fear of the ocean
back in the Viking ages seafaring was important but dangerous days at sea often played tricks on sailors and the fear of the
Brutality of nature was better realized when they could give a face to the danger
They were in what the Kraken is an ancient tale people who were convinced of its presence as recently as the early
1900s these days. I'm not sure if anyone a noise still believes this legend
But they love talking about it still coming into number five. This is a very modern one. We have the haunted travel agency
It seems that ghosts need a little break - I'm guessing that actually hauntings kind of exhausting
No
That's exactly what the ghouls haunting a travel agency in the Norwegian town of Moss wanted
unfortunately
The pesky living souls are all scared and coding clairvoyance to help rid them of the wonder lusty specters
Maryann Harland Bogdanoff a skeptic who managed the travel agency Pat's her beliefs altered when she
experienced weird goings-on at her workplace
She said the computers broke down for no reason and that strange smell started wafting through the office
Staff members would complain of headaches and heard strange noises
IT technicians electricians and plumbers came to check out the building but couldn't find the source staff. Never saw the ghost
But they certainly felt it eventually a clairvoyant
cleansed the office and the spirits seemed to vanish in the same town a woman who worked at the Tourism Board said that the German
Language brochures always ended at the top of the pile despite there being very few german-speaking people in the town eventually
It was discovered that a German soldier had worked in the same building during the Nazi occupation of Norway coming in at number four
We have the tortured souls of leers psyche housed
The Lea psyche house is an old Mentalist in the city Drammen
The imposing building closed its doors in the 1980s and it's creepy and abandoned today
The building is thought to have tortured patients with experimental drugs like LSD
It is also said that some patients were given
lobotomies for the dark past comes a dark energy a lot of people who have explored the abandoned building are totally convinced that this
Haunted people have seen apparitions felt cold hands touch their bodies and even heard screams echoing down empty corridors
This is one place that I would not like to visit in Norway coming into number three. We have the legend of
Pester pester is like the Norwegian Grim Reaper and came around in Norse folklore
Following the horrifying Black Death the Black Death killed half the population of Norway
So you can understand why the Norwegians gave the brutal illness the bringer of death a human face
He did it so they could better understand it
Pastor is the character. They invented and these days she's considered to be a general death omen like the Grim Reaper
She is characterized as being Haggard ashen face and wearing a red skirt
She carries a broomstick and a rake the legend from the plague era goes if you saw pastor with a rape
There was some hope that some of your community would survive
but if she yielded a broom then there was no hope for any of you these days Pest it is still talked about as a
Death Bringer and a lot like the Grim Reaper once she's seen she's unavoidable hung against number two
We have the headless monk of Trondheim. This is perhaps the most famous ghost in Norway the Cathedral of near Arras
Tommen is situated in the Norwegian city of Trondheim and dates back to the medieval times
The church was restored in 1814 and somewhere along the way it attracted a ghost standard Cathedral practice. Ruie
The monk is the Menace and is said to want to choke people on sight in
1924 a Bishop's wife saw the monk as she attended a church service at the Cathedral
She described the man as very attractive with a sharp face and piercing blue eyes
He his hands round the priests throat and tried to strangle him as he gave a sermon
Members of the choir and churchgoers saw hands around the man's neck
But not all saw the figure the bishops wife then realized the monk was bleeding heavily from the neck
Since their sighting other people have reported seeing the monk who appears to attempt to strangle people
He takes a disliking to some have seen him without a head altogether
Which is pretty terrifying finally coming into number one part of an legend and part deep deep mystery
Today we have the is still woman of Death Valley is Dillon Valley in Bergen
Norway is colloquially called Death Valley
the location was a popular suicide spot in the medieval times and also a
Dangerous place to hike in the fog meaning a lot of people have accidentally fallen to their deaths
Rumor of the spot being haunted are of course rife
But that isn't the most terrifying thing about this place in November of 1970 a man walking with his two daughters
Found the badly burned body of a woman the woman was found lying on her back in a remote area
And only her front was burnt her back strangely wasn't all so strangely
Jewelry had been placed around the woman clothes were found nearby burnt and with the labels cut out very strange
Stranger still police investigating her death found two suitcases at Bergen railway station one contained
Prescription free glasses and a fingerprint that matched the woman's the case also contained a number of different currencies and several wigs
police later found the unidentified woman stayed at a number of different hotels using eight fake names and
passports one shoe store owner remembers her smelling strongly of garlic despite all of the strange evidence and
speculation that she may be a spy the police closed the case what happened to her who she was and why she was killed we
Don't know but the people of Norway have a lot to say on the topic
