The Huldre are coming
0
It is not difficult to understand why people are blinded by the magnificent and beautiful nature that they meet here in the fjord. However, something happens when darkness descends or when a thick mist comes down like an impenetrable blanket between the valley sides. For it is then that the huldre people awake. In the daytime they live under the ground, but as darkness approaches, they move up towards the surface as a warning, to the horror of the residents. In the hamlets in these fjords there are many stories associated with both Christmas and wedding celebrations where the huldre people created mayhem for the residents. We are probably used to the fact that the darkness can conjure, huldre, trolls, sea serpents or nisse, but in 1972 something completely new was observed. A periscope was spotted in the Sognefjord, when it was confirmed that the military had no boats in the area, the alarm was raised. Suddenly all the villages along the fjord were thrown into the world’s spotlight and both the press and the public trawled the fjord for a trace of the mysterious submarine. It is still not known, if it was indeed a submarine or not. Maybe it was the huldre people making fun of humans, or some driftwood floating over the fjord…what do you think?
