Any time Krabo. It's not the same here without you, you know. Now can you stop leaving us please?

Norway has three different kinds of ghosts?!

Whoa.

I'll bet that is because of the ancient Norwegian Vikings.

Actually, kinda yes. There can be a difference between the words.

All 3 can be used in the usual way about ghosts.

Spøkelse can also be used about animals, like a ghost dog, for instance (spøkelseshund).

Gjenganger is an old word tied to Norse beliefs. The Vikings believed people could come back after their death, as bodily ghosts, not the more soul/energy way people usually mean today. They believed ghosts stood up from their graves.

We have old horror stories here about draugen. Originally draug was anyone who had died, but now it's usually only used about the ghost of someone who died at sea and comes ashore. They will fight with the living, trying to drag them at sea with him. According to folklore he turned evil because he wasn't buried in consecrated ground.

We also have the word bankeånd for poltergeist.

Lovely.

Ghost dogs, ghost Vikings, and wet, smelly, dead drowned people trying to drag people underwater.

I assume that the Bureau of Tourism does not talk much about this aspect of Norwegian culture.

Actually, I am spending quite a bit of time and effort trying to analyze if that gorgeous, patriotic Norwegian Collie is in reality a Draugen/Spokelshund which is trying to lure people with his flag so that he can drag them underwater.

No, the Bureau of Tourism believes in allowing people to be surprised by everything Norway has to offer as a vacation spot. And so far we've only covered ghosts. If we broaden the topic to creatures of folklore, we can add huldra, a female creature who captivated men and led into the realm of "de underjordiske" (the subterranean) and her male counterpart, tussen. And we mustn't forget Nøkken, a creature that would play his fiddle and (just like draugen) drown people who were lured by the magic of his music.

Well, you never know. Why don't you come over for a visit and you can check him out for yourself?

Norway (Oslo) has an ancient tale of a ghost dog. in the dark ages they used to bury a live animal in front of the door, to protect the building against intruders and dark forces. (if burying a live animal isn't the worst horror story ever, I don't know what is). When Akershus Fortress was built 700 years ago, they buried a dog there. The dog has been seen throughout the centuries, and is described as a black shape with red eyes, fangs and the remains of a chain around its neck. It is said to bring death to those who see it, and one person, Commander Peder Hanssøn Litle, was said to have been attacked by the ghost dog around 1550. The dog is called malcanisen (as in mal canis, evil dog).
