Look for Theodor Kittelsen drawings and see why Norwegian forests are scary.
those drawings gave me nightmares as a child. I still refuse to have his drawings inside my bedroom as an adult. Anywhere else? fine? my bedroom at night when its dark? no.
All over Norway, you will see many abandoned houses/shacks that will give you chills. There is one near where I lived in Central Norway that had a teddy bear put by someone in the window with no glass. Next week, the bear is gone! Next week, it's back!
There's old abandoned factories and stuff as well. But most of those are not that well known as they are urban exploration spots and are well kept secrets within the community.
I have found a couple and been to even fewer. It's hard work finding them when you don't know anybody willing to share.
my uncle used to work at the Lier asylum when it was in operation. I went there to explore it with a few friends once, real cool place, but scary af when its dark haha
Me and my friend group went as well. Did you visit the cellar? When we were there some of the old equipment was still around down there.
one scary place in Norway is the working camp of the sovjet people the nazi had in a place named Beisfjord..it used to be a football pitch when i was growing up..nobody wanted to go behind the goal and pick up the ball because that ment to walk past two mass graves
The first time I heard a fox scream I legit thought somebody was being tortured
first time i heard a fox scream was terrifying. I was sitting in my room when i heard what i thought was a child screaming in pure terror. It took me some time to gather up the courage to look out of the window, but by then it was gone. Later that night i looked up what a fox scream sounded like and it was the same as what i had heard.
What does the fox say AaaAAAGAGAGAAAAAA!
I'm from Canada and I love scary stuff. I wanna hear more about scary stuff in Norway too. Please do more on this topic.
Check out Theodor Kittelsen and his art from the late 1800s. He drew and painted a lot of illustrations to Norwegian folklore, like trolls, draugen, huldra, pesta (the personification of the plague in the 1300s) and much more. Amazing stuff. I use one of them as background on the mobile right now!
@@Kraakesolv okay thanks, I'll take a look then. Thanks for the suggestion.
Another scary place is ‘’NAV’’. Then tortored me there!
Bunkers on Vadsø island, from WW2 can be scary as hell , just thinking about what took place there , especially when it’s dark outside.
Norwegian folklore is filled to the brim with crepy creatures and freaky places where noone deared enter. Where you wuld only heare stories about the grizly faith of those who deared to tresspass.
Do not cross the river Melkelva becouse of the fjord witch. Never stay in a cabin near Öksfjord either, you might encounter a nazi zombie platoon.
if your going there, bring a pack of fjordland as emergency rations
@@tvinky1992 Husk ledninga!
Please make a part 2, as you only finished half the Reddit and that article at the end. This is a fun topic.
No, no, no....!
@@steinarhaugen7617 Why not? You don't like haunted places with never-ending corridors, doors that lead to nowhere and bleeding dead things falling on top of you while you sleep at night?
There is a prisoner camp from ww2 in Arna (part of Bergen) called Espeland Fangeleir. It is a museum now, but it is also used by the locals to host different clubs and activities. When I was around 11 i would go to scout meetings there, and the vibe was always off, it was worse after it got dark, but even in full daylight it just feels haunted. Like the horror that happend there during ww2 got stuck in the walls, ground and floors or the entire place.
My mom is still a scout leader and she refuses to go into some of the buldings with out someone else there because it is so creepy.
I have 0 idea if it was mentioned… But Dale Mentalsykehus (Dale mental hospital according to Google Translate)
Is said to be very scary and one of the most haunted asylums in norway, dating back to the 1800’s where shock therapy was used… Aswell as quarantine for tubercolosis (if i remember correctly)
Luster nervesanatorium is also a creepy one, I haven’t finished watching so it might be mentioned.
Edit:
I see it was mentioned now. There was a horror movie filmed there some years back. I think it was Villmark 2.
Anyways, very interesting topic Tyler. 👍 I hope you do a part 2.
I like forrests at night tho!
Rather creepy animal sounds than being near alot of people
Lier Hospital are really scary at night. Large Dark and Creepy with a dark past. Night Watch at Akershus Castle from the Medieval and a dark history as a Jail an Occupied by the Germans during the WW2 and many Norwegian Resistance was Shot there and old Ghosts lingering. As the Dark Knight and Demons, make this Castle a really scary place. Quisling and other Traitors was also shot there. I was there as a NCO during my service in The Kings Gard. Many Soldiers was really scared at the old Stone Castle.
Try: Hegra Festning...
Well known place for it's time during WW2.
Hegra Festning is open for visitor during summer, where you can walk around the festning both outside and inside the corridors of festningen.
Here you can have guide walking around and tell about the days norwegians fought durign WW2.
Also there's cafeteria where you can buy dinner and eat while there.
At day time it's no problem, but try after 00:00am in pitch black, only a flash light and take a walk ;)
Some says they can hear foot steps inside the corridors during the night or other sounds.
PS: IF you bring a camera, it might not work propper after the trip!!
Mine crashed!
I live in lier so i know about the mental hospital in Lier, i have never actually been in it but i used to live close to it and drive by it everyday. Everytime i got chills and just general bad vibes.
Oh my.. where to begin. Long read⚠️ In middle Norway in the region of Fosen and on the way to one of its municipalities, Rissa, there is a road named " Haugsdalsvæien " alongside it theres ski resort, cabins, huts etc. Anyhow. Theres a tale about Haugsdals kjerringa ( Haugsdals lady/ hag ) that haunts the road. You NEED to stop and let her hitch a ride in your car or else something bad will happen! Reason? Well a few variations. Ine is that she tried to get into the cabin with her baby up into the mountain to get away from freezing cold but her husband wouldnt since he thought she was a witch. So she and the baby ended freezing to death by the road 😢 Another take is that she tried to hack herself into the cabin to save the baby from the engulfing fire, unsure if the husband was the cause of it or/ and she tried to save them both. A third is that she ( sometimes with baby ) was sick wanted to hitch a ride with a carriage but none would pick her up due to they thought shexwas a witch..So yeah, the whole of our Norway can be scary from all the legends and folktales from the viking age, tales from the sami and up to now. Theodor Kittelsen, Asbjørnsen & Moe + many more. Some gathered tellings from around the rural and country dwelling folks. The kid friendly tales shown at Hunderfossen family park in Lillehammer have much more dark, disturbing origin. Vetter is a term about any alignment of little people living under ground. Also tusser ( plural ) is my translated take on goblins, nisser are their own species, similar to gnomes and halflings.
Screaming foxes are terrifying. It's not like wolves howling can be scary to some people. A screaming fox sounds like a woman being killed.
I am a paranormal investigator in Norway, and there are tons of places that can be/look scary, you got for example trudvang hotell, dale mental hospital, Villa fridheim, Trandumskogen. alot of interesting places with alot of interesting History
My great grandmother worked at Lier mentalsykehus a couple years when Lobotomy was still legal in Norway
on Mosterøy in Ryfylke there is an old monastery that has a lady in a white dress wandering around. Utstein monastery is today a museum and concert arena. You can stay overnight if you dare. She lived in 1533.
You don’t outrun a polare bear, or any other bear….or the wolverine😳🥵
in the sea in autumn when there is a lot of storm
Trust me, you can't run away from a polar bear, indeed that would make things worse.
I also had a boat for many years. Sometimes large Whales was playing around my boat was both scary and fascinering. I live near the German SS Grini Concentration Camp, now its a Jail. At the places where several Prisoners was shot and buried is creepy and silent. The Traitors was forced to dig up the bodies after the War. But you can still see the bullet marks high up in the trees.
It's kind of funny that they have renovated and converted the old buildings in Lier mental hospital into expensive new flats... probably haunted
So from someone from US can never imagined another country have a history. Shocking!
Svalbard is a good place to realize that as a human you are very, very small, and you are in control of nothing.
Edit: which is a bit ironic considering the impact climate change has on Svalbard.
The last person killed by a bear was a dutch man who was sleeping in a tent when the bear came at night. This was in august 2020!
i think i scared a timber worker deep in the forest when i was small at night he was driving a big timber veicle and i bet he dident expect to see a 8 to 9 year old boy looking at him deep in the forest at the middel of the night during summer
torås fort in norway is a big big fortress from the ww2 with alot of tunnels and bunkers it is famous by the tourists there and also have been on television in a norwegian ghost program aired on tv.....
The whole of Norway can be terrifying. A psychic lady told in a comment that when she visited Norway she had an oppressive feeling the whole time she was in the country. She traveled around, and it didn't stop until she left. She said the whole country was under a menacing figure. Maybe that's why it's always scary outside when it's dark, and often during the day too - especially when you're alone in the cabin or some other deserted place. Then it's fine to have a dog for company.
I actually live in a house from around 1800. When we did renovations a lot of strange things happened. Electric articles turned themselves on and off. Once a battery-powered toy car started driving itself across the floor. The remote control was in the side room, and there was no one there. The radio and lights turned on and off, things went missing and I heard heavy things being dragged across the floor on the second floor when I was home alone. My daughter had to move out of her room for a period, because she couldn't sleep. Every night she came downstairs to take a pill for a headache. Finally we summoned the priest. He blessed the house, and told me that he had seen a figure in my daughter's room. A couple of days later, my daughter's friend was pushed down the stairs, but no one was there. After that it calmed down, and now it's been a long time since we've experienced anything frightening. Sometimes I hear noises, but I've gotten so used to it that I just shake it off after telling them to leave.
Vans passing slowly as you walk alone...is scary. Other than that, dusk in a forest for sure!
When foxes scream, they sound like babies crying.
In the olden days, they believed that the cries came from the ghosts or spirits of babies that was placed out in the forest to die (poor people was not always able to feed their children, so I guess there were people who did this) , so imagine the terror they felt when hearing that in the dark pine tree forest..
The children who were placed out could also be called an "utburd" which means "carried outside" when translated kinda directly. There were horror stories about them, they were tall like trees, and wanted revenge on those who did the doing. (Humans)
There are also stories where the underworld people (troll and fae or nisse) stole human babies, and replaced them with one of their own children - this was called a "bytting" - that would also translate to be a "changeling". When children were acting badly, they could be thought of as unhuman "byttinger" / "changelings".
If you're out walking in some forests, you may stumble upon wrecks of crashed WW2 airplanes that are still partially intact. Sometimes you may even find remains of the pilots that died in those crashes. I remember walking to one such wreck with my dad when I was a kid.
OMG
I have lived over 8 years at the land of a old mental hospital Dale in Norway.
The house I lived in, was also in with forrest in the garden and around the vally, and sometimes I did hear fox scream. When I moved there I actully was afreid of dark, but strangly, im an not anymore ;)
I learnd a lot of the history, and was not all bad things happening in the old hospitals. I´ts just it is the worst history people remembers and talk about. But offcourse, some real heavy shit happend and the old emty buildings is a bit crepy...even more so in dark wintertime and stormy wether ;)
Svalbard is legit scare. You are not allowed to travel outside town without a gun for a reason...
There is a movie shot at the Luster Sanatorium called Villmark 2. I don't think all is accurate to the history but it's a really good movie and would love to see you react to it.
It is a horror movie.
Foxes laugh, whine, squeak but mostly out of excitement or joy

Oh darn it your video beat me to it. Agreed though, the scariest place in Norway, not to different from Canada in that respect, is IMO Svalbard (a Norwegian archipelago) where people aren't allowed to walk around in the countryside without appropriate firearms, due to the polar bears.
In Canada it is Churchhill, Manitoba where the residents leave their car doors unlocked so if you see a polar bear you will have a place to hide. That said I do not think a car is any match for a determined, hungry polar bear.
On another note run away from a polar bear? They can run 40 km/hr.
I would be a bit sad if Lier mental hospital was not mentioned. 😂
Around my area, there are just tons of abondoned buildings with horrible backstories to them, said to be haunted.
Local legends I guess I can call them?
I also will say, yes Lier mental hospital was freaky at nightimes. 😅
SKATT= TAX or TREASURE
KONTORET = THE OFFICE
KONTOR= OFFICE
😅😅
Yes. Fun fact, the English word for tax used to be "scot" from Norwegian. They still use it in the term "scot-free", but barely anyone knows that it really means tax excemption. :)
--actually, I'd wager the wildlife in Norway is a lot less scary (and dangerous) than in the US, predators are largely extinct (admittedly we do occationally get visits from Russian/ Swedish wolves, but we hunted the norwegian wolves and bears to extinction over a century ago- on the mainland), the point is no bears, wolves, coyotes, etc. Just our meese and sheep.
Moose is the most dangerous animal in the Norwegian mainland. They can easily kill you.
I dont know the full detailes about the storyes in this place, but I know 2 stories. The place i speak off is Isdalen (ice wally) in Bergen. Svartediket Lies in this place witch is Bergen's Main wather supply. In the 70'ies or 80'ies. The burtnt boddy of a woman was found in there, nonone knows the identety of that woman, noone knows who killed her. Why was she in Bergen? Was she a whore? A spy? Some sales consultant? Her hotell room allegedly had several forged Id papers.
The other one is an urban legend focusing more about svartediket itself. So this one gos back ti the 1700's or so. Mabe much earlier. This was before the bigg dam and drinkingwather resovar was built. But it is still the same eria and the same lake. By the old lake there was an "Orphinage". Poor perents with little to no incime or lone mothers wuld come to this place with their babies. The lady in the gutt by the lake wuld then take inn their Child fore a fee. When the perents left, the lady wuld then take the babi to the lake and drown them. Remember this is now where we gett our drinking wather from. It is unclear if the perants knew the lady in the hutt wuld drowm their childgen or if this story was even real, but if you have the luck to taste the wather from this lake, you wuld realize that this is the best tasting wather in the whole world.
Everything north of Sinsenkrysset 😬
I live in Lier. My school is legit 50 meters from the hospital.
Me and some frinds did not find it for some reason, the asylum in Lier. before it got so dark. We got in and it was so much sick shit and when we where in there for about 3 houres with only flashlights as a lightsource. We heard a fucking creepy sound from the first floor. We were then i the top floor. Man we freaked and everyone startet to run in different directions. But one of our friends got us to stick toghter. We waitead for about 10 min, really quiet. Before we ran like H**l outside to cars! Never again! It's now demolishd I think! And the sick part all the stuff from every sick thing they did to the people was stil there.
I come from Norway
Lier mental hospital is now transformed to the residential project Lier Hageby.
There's nothing scary about a forest at any time of day. I used to come home around 23.15 several times a week after martial arts training and the onky time i gave a fuck 2as when this puma was in the lose and my mum saw it on the road down to our house. We had a farm house from the 1700s down inside a forest with about 40 minutes walk to the nearest houses. The walk to the bus to town took 20 min. But nerver cared about anything oit there. Same with 14 year old girls that came to see me. They walked down our muddy man made road alone many times. And my mum would sit in the fields painting away at midnight. No one cares about that stuff after the age of 8. Why wouod a forest upset you.? Be scared in a city.. That's where the danger is, not in the countryside. 😅
After jail i now believe in ghosts..
❤
The one with the fox was a joke of corse. Not a lion 😂
The fox one wasnt a joke lol, fox screams sound nearly identical to a human scream so you could imagine how scary it would be to hear it in the middle of the woods at night
@@tomsi12 yeah, it's horrifying. the first time i heard it i thought it was a woman getting brutally murdered (i live in a rural area)
@@ItzLucky90: Yes, the most terrifying ting I've ever experienced was out in the forrest. I was hammocking in probably late september, so it was very dark. Suddenly there were these screams that really got my pulse up. Then a little later, there was lightning, which of course came without warning since it was too dark to see the sky. It was really like being in a horror movie.
@@jeschinstad to think that something so small and friendly looking has a scream from down under
@@ItzLucky90: Hehe, exactly. :)
i have 2 pars of herons liveing in the pine trees just outside my bedroom window,the other year i was just between the rem and non rem sleep,and then they just starting screaming there head of,,,,,,,my god they are lucky my shotgun was locked up,,,,,

What was scary here? Absolutely nothing.
That's because you've never been in the forrest and heard a screaming fox.
But i saw you slipped the 2 mountain lion stories from the US so i guess you want to pretend to not know where you are eh.?
why are you so interested in boring Norway tell me pleas.
Lol
Are not scary video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody can Google this! Why do you think you are smarter??😅
