A draug is the ghost of a human who died by drowing, who then drowns others, taking them to a wet grave. Draughammar - This word tells us that this has not always been a good place. A hammar is a steep cliff, and if a draugen is there out on the fjord, then you are probably not going to make it. The sea here can be dangerous when you try to navigate around the tip. Amongst the many who did not make it to Askastoi or Pedlastoi were a bridal party from Kaupanger on their way to Fjørao in 1785. There were 9 in the party who drowned. In 1825 there were 3 youths from Saongdal trying to cross the fjord, but on the way to the other side they capsized. Their boat sank in the storm and was never found. Although they could swim, It was not usual for people to swim at that time, the water was cold and everyday life so busy that they could not waste time on such things.
