Folklore consists of legends and mythical stories told from generation to generation for a really long time. They have often been called, somewhat condescendingly, superstition, as the stories are not a part of an established religion. However, they have been used to create meaning from the nature and the world in which people have been living for centuries. In this episode, we will focus on five creatures from Norwegian folklore: trolls, the draug, the nøkken, hulders and tusser.


A troll is a sort of giant which lives in mountains and forests. They are often described as big, ugly, terrifying and mean, and they are often the bad guys in the stories, for instance in many of the Askeladden fairy tales. Today, the troll has become a popular Scandinavian souvenir and can be found as small figurines in all souvenir shops in Norway. A rise of the troll can also be seen in popular culture, both in films and series. Trolljegeren, or The Troll Hunter, is one such example.
