Scotland has a huge assortment of mythical beasties, especially relating to water; Sprites, Wraiths, Selkies & Kelpies to name a few. One such group Each Uisge (pronounced ee-ach ooshka) translates to water horse. The story goes these creatures come onto land & present themselves as the most beautiful animal. Anyone who sees them are enchanted by their magnificence. The horses appear friendly and so the unsuspecting person will be tempted to climb onto their back to go for a gallop across the moors, but...each uisge has other ideas! The creature's coat is covered in a sticky substance & the rider cannot dismount even if they want to. Each Uisge heads for the deepest loch taking the terrified rider underwater.... where they are devoured.

They have a creature who lives in the bent tubes of toilets. This creature comes out, and drags Norwegian children down, if they are bad. There was an urban myth of the suicide girl from the seventies. Suicide is problem in Norway, like everywhere. Back in the late seventies, there was spat of suicides, of young men who had no friends, of families. It was said, these men were seen with a pretty young girl, like she was their girlfriend. It was thought, she was crazy girl, killing men. There is older Norwegian urban myth of the Visitor. In the long nights of Norwegian winters, people will find themselves working late, or they will be home alone. Someone will knock on door, and want in the building. They are not frightening, but they are odd. It's said, the visitor will some times look like an older woman, with little white dog. She will knock, and want in the building. The visitor will want in, and have a bad excuse, like "It's her home, and you have to let her in." It doesn't always look like a old woman. Sometimes it looks like a child, but they always want in. You never let them in, because the will walk in the other room, or go in a closet, and then vanish. The bad part is, if they come in, something bad will happen in that building, or home. I knew more Norwegian urban myths, but I forgot them. Sorry.

The myth teaches all those things that people need to know, living along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, where about every 250-400 years there is a giant earthquake and huge tsunami.

We weren't raised with mythological charactars, but as a child I invented them myself: When I was in bed, I had to hide under the blanket when a car passed the house and the headlights shone into my bedroom. It was a very bad man, who drove past the houses. He ate all the parts of the children he could see, when he searched the bedrooms with his flashlight. If he saw f.i. your hand: hand gone! I have slept with my head under the blanket for years. Also, there were two witches living in my parents bedroom. They looked exactly the same, which was a problem, because one was good and the other bad, but you never knew which one you had in front of you. In the Netherlands we have vrouw Holle, who lives in a world you can reach when you fall into a well. But she is an old women and doesn't have a tail, as far as I know. We have all sorts of mythical creatures that are common in Europe, but no trolls. We have the 'witte wieven', white ghostlike women who come out at night. They can fly. There are also 'dwaallichtjes' in the swamps, lights that try to trick you in leaving the path, so that you will drown in the swamp. They are the souls of unborn or unbaptised children. When a person has totally wrong ideas, we also call him (usually a him of course 😜) a 'dwaallicht' because he wil lead his followers the wrong way.

Great video, Guys! One of your best. In eastern NC, we have the Sea Hag, a witch-like creature that inhabits the waterways on the coast. She’s always hungry for children who have misbehaved and are outside after dark when they are supposed to be inside. She is stooped over, thin with long arms and claw-like hands. The feature that most identifies her is her wild mass of tangled hair. She is very scary and definitely someone to stay away from. I think if Mads asked her out, she would accept!

Huldra is part of a larger ''group'' of mythological creatures in Norway known as ''Hulderfolket'' (Hulder people) or ''De underjordiske'' (the undergrounders). They may or may not be cathegorised as part of some ''troll'' family, since trolls aren't one specific thing, it's different kind of trolls and various troll species. But ''De underjordiske'' or ''Hulderfolket'' are forest creatures and spirits living inside the mountains and underneath the ground. Many of them can be looked as something similar to gnomes or goblins in appearance.

Hi, Ronald, Mads latest post on FB must be the work of beasts and trolls. It looks as though a cyclone tore through Mads' apartment, and he is left to clean up the disaster area (kind of like the trees ripped from the ground in this video of yours). I think he needs some Dugnad from others with O.C.D. to bring his place back together. He did do a great job with his grout lines in his bath 😊, although I'd love to see how long it takes with the rest of the apartment (perhaps it will come together like he did with his Dad's place in Portugal?)... Mads deserves more Syden after this.

Here in Flanders, we have many stories about "kwelgeesten" (kwellen = to torment and geest = ghost). With different names, depending on the region. One of them looks like a large hideous black dog. He lurks away in the nights and jumps on the backs of unaware victims. Then the unfortunate victim is forced to carry him on his back until the next crossroad.

@@YOURWAY2NORWAY i know about Askeladden too, from watching Norwegian kids' stories in youtube videos in my attempt to learn the language. And the nokk I learned of by watching The Making of Frozen 2 on Disney Plus. And I just found a trailer on KZbin for a movie in Norwegian called Askeladden. The trailer video has subtitles in norsk so I can sorta understand what they are saying. Interesting. I will have to try to find the whole movie online so I can watch it. Hopefully on a plarform where I can play it a little slower so I can read the subtitles!

In belgium we have 'de lange wapper'. It's an old story of a man that appears in the night and chases drunk men to their homes. In the begining he has a normal height but with each step he gets taller and taller when chasing his victim. When the drunk man arrives home and goes to bed, the 'lange wapper' will be so tall that he wil look trough the window of the drunk mans bedroom. Then he says that if the man got drunk one more time he will break his neck. So it was just a funny story that was created to scare drunk people, and to stop them from drinking.
