You should start a series called “There’s a Map for that” where you show us fun or interesting maps from the places you visit around the world.
This is literally the first episode of a series called exactly that 😁 (well, not just from places I visit)
@@johnnyharris sweet! I love maps and I’m excited to see more cool maps! ❤
@@Sirdinosaur1104 As someone who did geography as a subject, I can agree.
@@johnnyharris wow sounds great 👍
@@johnnyharris great minds think alike lol
Me an elf watching this reel 💀
Where are you
same -certified communist elf
Many elderly people thoroughly believe in huldufólk, my mother claims to have spotted some on New Year’s Eve as a kid.
I have a vivid memory of seeing a leprechaun as a kid. I assume I made it up, but according to our own folklore institution I'm not the only one either...
I have a picture of a faery from Ireland. I was there 25yrs ago with a friend, we did 662.7mi (yes, our rental car's odometer was in miles, go fig) around almost entirely little backroads and stayed in the types of bed and breakfasts which were truly just people's homes.
Anyway, we were out in the middle of nowhere between Killarny and Galway, and there was this tiny, BEAUTIFUL and very very old stone bridge, completely covered in moss, over this small stream and slowly being reclaimed by time and the woods. The whole thing was deeply in the shade, and looked so sterotypically Ireland--I was just stunned by the beauty. I took a picture of it, adjusted my angle very slightly, and took another picture.
When we got back to the States and had the photos developed, the first photo had this strange spot of light on the bridge. It doesn't look like an orb or a photo effect or anything else I have ever seen in all my years of photography, and the entire bridge being so deep in shadow makes it hard to imagine what could have made this stunningly bright little rainbow light.
Here is the thing: I like the world better where there is a vanishingly scant little chance where I caught one of the fae on that bridge. I am a disabled single mom struggling as hard as anyone under late stage capitalism. I need a new lift for my wheelchair (and, actually, a new chair) and my daughter needs braces. As with every other grownup in the U.S., it can be hard not to feel like the weight of everything is on my shoulders, and my shoulders are supported by a shattered spine--a spine currently being supported by a shattered healthcare system.
I think the world is just a bit easier to exist in when we allow for the possibility of teeny, tiny sprinkles of magic in our lives. I like that world a whole lot. 🌈 🧚♀️
That's a very interesting story! Is there anywhere I can find this photo?
Imagine sending this to your short friend
Iceland's booming tourism also because they are predominantly headlined when they qualified for Euro 2016 and BEAT England and after that became the smallest nations to ever qualified for World Cup in 2018. That is some madness in the making.
The Icelandic people are probably not taking it too seriously. It is more like an inside joke. In Reykjavik, you can find the "Icelandic Phallological Museum" (Penis museum) where there is an "Elf" penis on display, among others xD
Like those scary dropbears in Australia 🤣
They say if you get near em, the electronics stop working
“This place is kinda magical…wait I see one, this place is magical”
As an elf, I can assure you that this is completely 100% correct
Glad you didn't over-rationalize the belief so much up to killing the belief. You added to it. Didn't take from it.
Huldufólk are actually different from Elves but very similiar
The roadsign really brings this into perspective
Don't worry, Iceland, nearly half of Latin Americans believe in elves too except we call them duendes.
This must be where willy wonka got his oompa loompas
You should believe in elf’s. Cause they believe in you. 🤙
it's good to see that over half of Icelandic people believe in elves. belief in fantasy is one of the most important parts of human culture imo.
I literally live at nr. 15, and my next door neighbour is an awesome guy named Legolas.
My people believe in elfs, i do not, somehow i wish i could believe... I want to belive.
Midgets in Iceland
👀
It is definitely untrue that half of Icelandic people think elves exists. It's definitely true that half of Icelanders won't rule out they exist just in case they do.
Iceland got the good shit Americans got Skinwalkers and fucking Cthulhu
Danes still leave food out for the elves(Nisser).
Done that. They called they the hidden folk. Love Iceland
iceland is irl skyrim change my mind
If you visit Samar,Philippines you will hear a story lost city of gold way ahead of us.
Wow, I totally misread the title. For a moment, I thought there is a possibility of an Elvis impersonators in Iceland 😭
The Elvis impersonators only come out in the shadows of Iceland
YOU SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO ON THE HISTORY OF INDIA AND HOW INDIA GOT INDEPENDENCE
there's no elves in iceland but you can find one in graceland
iceland really is like hilda's world
iceland is a hellscape... you cant grow ANYTHING there
all their food is imported and thus EXTREMELY expensive
Did anyone else read Artemis Fowl books?
So.. umm what type of elf we are talking about.. like Legolas or like Dobby.
And here I thought elves live in New Zealand
Sounds like business trip to me 😏
In Swahili we call them "Vibwengo"
Those elves look different from those from anime 🤣
There’s a map for that
You have a map for everything, Johnny
You probably even have a map to find other maps
I always wanted to go hunting for elves in Iceland.
Jæja hvað finnst okkur íslensku johhny harris aðdáendunum um vídeóin hanns um ísland? Persónulega fannst mér hann gera þetta vel, sérstaklega videoið um ísland og nasistana. Því það er svo lítið talað um það.
Sammála
Ég elska Jonna Harris😁
Já það er frekar gaman að sjá hann tala um hvernig við trúum á álfa
I think this is the best time to ask this question😂
Is it true that’s u guys can read and understand words and sentences on rocks that’s your ancestors made thousand years ago
Thank you in advance for your answer I can finally sleep well
@@pubst its true, not everything but enough to know whats going on
But can you catch them? Are they protected as an endangered species?
As an Icelander i can confirm i have seen multiple elves in my life. But every time I try to hunt them i get "a restraining order from every kindergarten" smh
I thought it was about elks for half the video
That was a good shit bro 🗿
So I don't need to get Isekai-ed to get some elf waifus??
Like the ones from The Hobbit?
Oh, you call them "elves" now? They are part of our folklore here in Norway as well as in Iceland and i think Denmark, Sweden and Finland too. And here we call them "nisser", and they're an especially big of Christmas. To the point of where Santa here is called "julenissen" or the Christmas nisse/elf, even though they technically have no relation outside their connection to Christmas and their simmilar clothes. And in a lot of cases Santa may wear more traditional clothes compared to your Santa. And for the Christmas period, you could say nissene or "the elves" are more important to christmas than Santa is.
Nissene or the elves here are usually found on farms, pulling pranks on the people and taking care of the farm animals. And its traditional to set out a bowl of porridge for Christmas, to give to your nisse/elf.
These elves have no connection to typical fantasy elves in the slightest and the folklore can change between locations, and especially between our contries.
What u call nisse is not the same as Icelandic huldufólk
Nisser are also not in icelandic folklore and huldufólk and álfar is solely icelandic and doesnt exist elsewhere. Closest thing we have to nisser might be jólasveinarnir and still they are quite far apart from the danish and Norwegian nisser, ánd dont come from the same origin as Icelandic jólasveinarnir, however they are similar in many ways so some inspirations of eachother is not unlikely.
Are they Elves like Dobby or Legolas?
More like dobby but not the same in the slightest. They're small, sometimes described as hideous creatures but not always. They kinda just show up and pull pranks on people and you better damn laugh or risk making them angry
Well are you going to link us this map for that or what? 😂
Yes, it’s in the description and right here! sagnagrunnur.com/en/
@@johnnyharrisso whts your take do you believe they exist,?OR have you any passed down from Generation to Generation story's someone's told yu about elves that actually makes sense an is not ah *Fairy Tale.....🤷🏾♂️
"I've been to Iceland a couple of times". Johnny, I'm shocked you don't have dual citizenship yet.
🙏🙏🙏 Please, check out what Creative Society is and its recent global forum!!!! Maybe that is gonna be a great topic for the next video 🙂
I wonder what the percentage of Americans believe in a version of Bigfoot? Edit: I know of a few places I’ve seen them increasing tourism.
Am i tripping
NOOOOOOO
Im so finna do this expedition Milo Thatch Atlantis style who is goin with?
Yesss
Worlds edge
now if an anime isekai fan arrives...
Sounds like yes theory
After seeing the Netflix movie about the troll. No thanks, I'll leave them be.
Those are completely different though. Trolls are steretypically evil. They eat children, hurl boulders at churches, etc. Not necessarily out of evil intent but evil nonetheless. Elves just prank about and occasionally lure children away I think. Although only on the worst of days. If you forget to leave out food for them. But stay the fuck away from trolls yeah
goodbye mom, im gonna move to iceland
Hahaha, those surveys lie! We dont even believe in god
People don't have any proof: elves don't exist. 👍 We still explore our world and diffrent species. Mayby elves don't want talk with people. They are too shy. 🙌
im the 100th commend
Heyo johnny, just wanted to say, thanks for the brilliant content!

In a word of Google Earth and everybody having phones in their pockets that can record videos whenever the hell they want, it's kinda amazing and baffling that people still believe in dumb supernatural stuff....
To be fair we are still finding animal species today. Some we thought were extinct have even turned out to be alive. I could see why some find it plausible that they exist
Elves are real. Fairies are real. Gnomes are real. Just read some Pagan literature
I love elves smoke
