Apparently they believe in fairies in Iceland. I laughed my ass off at this statement from another forum.
quote:
Well I'm Icelandic and the thing about the fairies is actually true. My late grandfather saw them a lot when he was younger and I've heard few of the stories, although he knew countless. Like when he was young and was rounding up sheep in the mountains where he lived he used to see whole villages of fairies in the mountains that no one else saw.
He also claimed that he saw dead people, like this one time when he and my grandmother where taking a trip around the country they stopped just outside of the road and set up their tent there and they went to sleep. Then he wakes up in the night and sees people walking before him like he isn't even there, and the strange thing was that he could only see the top half of their bodies. So the next day when my grandparents continued their journey they came upon a farm close by and stopped there to ask if there had ever been anything there that could explain what he saw. They were told that along time ago there had been a farm where they had spent the night.
