Trolls

 

In Sweden and Norway, we have stories about trolls. They are creatures that lives in forests and mountains and often look like the environment surrounding them. They could be big and have plants growing on them. They disliked Christian symbolic and holy places.

They where often believed to be stupid, and easy to trick to get away from them. But they could be very evil and dangerous still. The trolls also feared the sun. they turned too stone if exposed to sunlight. Big, special looking rocks in nature was believed to be trolls turned too stones.

In many stories in Scandinavian folklore the trolls are often the bad guy. They exist not in the real, and we should be glad they don’t.
