Wintertime, especially around Christmas, gets cold and dark in the North of Iceland. Making it the perfect time for hauntings and ... supernatural murder?
Folklorist, librarian, and teacher, Þórdís Edda Guðjónsdóttir joins Natalie Guttormsson to discuss two dark Christmas folktales from Iceland:
1. The Deacon of Dark River (Djákninn á Myrká)
2. Christmas Eve with the Huldafolk or Elves
Hopefully you enjoy these two tales and get a little bit scared while listening!
