Through the rational lens of the present day, we call them fairytales. They simply called them Huldufolk- the hidden people.

Could encounters with the unexplained many experience today simply be glimpses of this other realm, our mysterious hidden neighbors from times long past, peaking through occasionally into our noisy modern world, when there’s a quiet moment, or a creak of the closet door, just to remind us, they’re still there. watching.
