Zombie-Like Creature In Sami People’s Beliefs: A Frightening, Dangerous Entity That Should Be Avoided At All Costs
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Why do the superstitions surrounding this zombie seem to be much older than the creature itself?
The legendary and bizarre creature with cannibalistic and vampiric traits continues to ignite the imagination of people today. Its persistent presence in many stories reminds us that the power of belief and creativity knows no bounds.

The origin of this evil giant symbolizes the unknown darkness and is steeped in the ancient lore of the Sámi people.
This being is a troublemaker with a manipulative and elusive nature, provoking men to a deadly knife fight. During such an encounter, he often tries to make the man use his knife to stab him.
Don't trust him for a moment, because then you end up stabbing yourself with your own knife, instead! However, even as unseen but in the vicinity, he gives a sense of unknown, unspecified danger, and unexplained tension in the air.
