"Are we there yet ? Is it far ? This is scary ! Are we there yet ?"
City girl in the wild
Hahaha
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my password. I love any help you can give me!
@Byron Conrad Instablaster :)
Ok, I'm in love with the cameraman! Those shots were stunning!
I like to think that at one point Trolls could have been real. Whether they were the massive creatures from Lord of the Rings or folklore or if they were simply large apes or hominids that once wandered across the planet is a different question, but it's nice to believe that there's still something mystical about our planet beneath all of the cold, hard logic and calculated facts.
Nephelim mate
My mom and dad saw a troll digging through some trash my parents had thrown out to the front of the house. The things was very pale and long faced that way they’re depicted in cartoons.
There's indigenous tales of giants in all continents. Just like dragons and the world flood, they're things that have only survived in tales but there's too many examples of legends about them to completely disregard them.
@@Oddn7751 excellent point, seek and ye shall find
@SeeNoEvilHearNoEvil See my Petri Dish Earth vids....
I don't see why it's so hard for people to believe this stuff. I grew up near the mountains and I always thought they were "alive" when I was a kid. When I learned about land spirits it made complete sense.
Thank you for doing the subject matter justice. A well made short documentary that could easily have been a full length one if you had included elfs, ghosts and monsters.
That last part. I'm impressed.
That sense of the landscape being alive seems to be making a comeback worldwide.
This was really nice.
I think it's fun that old superstitions still has a strong hold in the Nordic countries.
Even in our family home in Sweden we had a grass tuft that we talked about as if it were a living troll. When we were burning the grass every spring we would make sure not to set fire to it, and in the summer we would cut its "hair" so that it would be able to see better.
LiquoriceLover I’m a native of Iceland and I have seen some strange large wool people in the mountains. They were big fuckers like 230-300cm tall. They had dark hair and giant noses. When they smelled me out and looked at me I ran and yelled the other directions.
GD_King_Olav Trolls?
Wosedav Josedav I believe so. It happened at a place called Hafravatn which is a 20 minute drive from Reykjavík.
GD_King_Olav, which year? During the last decade, earlier or recently?
Wosedav Josedav It happened on 12th of December 2017 and I wanted to experience -20°C because it was only -15,3°C in Reykjavík. It was -21,3°C when I saw them and I it was very weird because they had a lot of exposed skin. They were also wearing wool clothing which was badly sown together and I heard no language only one grunt. I’m never going back there.
I like that Icelandic people coexist with interdimensional beings.
damn I wish I had the money to go to Iceland...shame I might never see it.
hahahadracula, You might, but you certainly won't see any trolls.
It’s like $350.00 round trip. Not very expensive flight I have no idea about lodging though. Lol. Hope you are well great vibes to you and yours😎
hahahadracula put your mind to it, you can do it
Its s cheap flight but when you get there mostly everything is rather expensive like shopping and going to resteraunts.
That was enjoyable, I really liked the ending when the camera man kept finding all those faces in the stone! Very nice, thank you for sharing guys and gals :D
Medusa turn things to Stone Waz real..
Mudfossils. The Mythical Legendary Creatures of old actually did exist.
"the ending when the camera man kept finding all those faces in the stone" It wasn't just the ending, they had them throughout the video. Maybe you didn't notice until the ending.
I think you'd be more successful if you'd hunt them on the internet.
+MrEnte3000 You're right MrEnte3000. We hope you enjoyed the video.
LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂
As there were giants in the earth ; in those days : Truth !
@@earthunplugged Investigate the Elf/Duende/Knomes.. Saw some In Mexico, pretty Creepy
at one time, giants walked the lands
He'll yeah
Just imagine the moment you were looking for trolls thinking it's just a myth.....and then you actually find one.
I'm not a quantum physicist- but the idea of Trolls and Elves (people from another dimension or world) coming though dimensional doors is intriguing~ that would account for strange interaction with electrical machines/devices
No, everyone knows that a unicorn created the phenomenon....
Unlike what most know, we do have historical accounts of the unicorn actually existing, but sadly humans killed that animal off about 8-9000 years ago, but from the history we know it is a account and not a myth that they did exist in India and where valued for every part of their bodies and skeletons for use in medicine and potions etc, thus why we do not have remains, for they were over hunted by a people whom believed in using every part of the animals they killed, unlike how our people do things today and only use certain parts. fascinating none the less to find out it was not a myth, and it goes to show the truth behind the saying "Within all myths there is truth"
Jonathan R. absolute and utter nonsense.
Jonathan R. And not one Unicorn died of natural causes or from attacks by predators. None was missed by those pesky humans. Bullshit!!! No evidence of unicorns I'm afraid.
Just to tell you some truth, dimensional doors did existed but they were close in the 1980's and some creatures are still out but hidden to humans until the nights. 90's still had a lot of manifestations, today only teens at night loose their mind and the mountain calls them. They walk and get lost until they find them roaming in the wild not in their mind.
There’s a movie by the name of Troll hunters here on UA-cam. I enjoyed it. I personally believe there is truth in stories such as this
If you’re driving around the country, and you end up in some tourist trap with some important piece of our natural history (like the geyser, the falls or even the blue lagoon) just keep in mind that if they say they believe in elves, trolls or any other mythical creature most foreigners think of when they hear Iceland..... they don’t. Maybe few do, but this isn’t as common as you’d think. Trust me, I am Icelandic
This was beautiful. Thank you.
very informative and adventurous description
+Sumit Basu Thanks for the comment Sumit!
Great little video. We highly approve ;)
Don't step in a troll pie!
Oh I get it. The guides are the ones who troll the tourists with rocks.
Well played, Iceland.
Beautiful beautiful video.
All that lava rock is so dark, it's unlike any beach I've ever seen.
Top work guys
I loved this!
This was lovely 💙
Beautiful landscape!!! I think they succeeded in showing the best scenic spots, yeah
There is a piece of truth in all legends
I can't believe they actually found one.
at 9:13 was so adorable :)
Australian aborigines tells of many stories or legends to describe all that is natural in their land. Be it for learning or just understanding I like it for the respect and connection you walk away with.
Pretty much like the Icelandic do.
Trolls were giant's way way back in history
lovely
fun video ! anyone know the music used ?
This made me think about the Yule lads cause their mom Gryla is thought to be a troll
They're all in Pacific Northwest hanging out with Sasquatch
Amazing, so beautiful country 💓🇵🇭
And to think I could have had a 12 minute nap...
You are not ready to see them.
Tbe Bible tells of the Giants, I don't know why this would be hard to believe
@SeeNoEvilHearNoEvil The bible is fake, so a fake book speaks about mythical creatures, such a coincidence
Probably because it's in the bible
wow
I believe that there were such a thing as trolls. Being from Norwegian descent, I am well aware of the stories of my ancestors, and how terrifying these creatures were. I think trolls were a type of species of giant. You had the trolls of Norway/ Scandinavia, the giants of the Americas, and orcs, goblins, etc. of Europe. They were all basically the same, each of a different build and were killed in the Great Flood.
now you got me wondering miss hunter. =)
Go to Iceland if you ever have the chance! This place will blow your mind!
I made a video on my youtube about my travel there, maybe it can motivate you to go there! And it will change your ideas about trolls and Elves when you are back!
TheRightsMoves, I've been many times and I think you people are even crazier than before I first went.
5:19 they are lureing her into the forest ?
Fossilized Trolls
hello is anyone here its been 4 years since someone left a comment this was a descent upload i have a question or two but im not going to ask unless i hear back from someone here
What is her accent? I can't place it. I love this kind of thing, though, folklore is fascinating.
Dutch i think she said
She may be Dutch but her accent is not. I would say middle to west middle south English. With a little bit of Icelandic.
I think she's half troll.
That's a west country accent. Unmistakable. I should know. I'm American.
@@scottjustscott3730 Country?You never met anyone country if You think she is.
Ooh I know!.. rocks and ice...
I would love to live in Iceland
I want to go troll hunting 😟
💖💖❤❤
Iceland needs more trees
They have all been knocked down by the trolls being chased out of their territories.
When there was Vikings they clip them of we had 1m Trees long time ago when Vikings
I see faces in the clouds.
How did I end up here
Also happens to my country. They will build a bridge, but an unknown force are flipping their big machines and big digging equipment in the morning But no sound at night.
So the government decided to cut the highway and build arround just to avoid that area. Some say elves did it.
Pareidolia can be powerful in superstitious people
Great vid by the way
Those aren't rabbits they're little people in disguise
ACCORDING TO THE "THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF" THE TROLLS LIVE UNDER THE BRIDGE. TRY LOOKING THERE .
BBC sending an Elf to find about the Trolls...? Clever!
I believe
Isn't this akin to cutting a person apart to find their soul?
Good luck I won’t expect u back anytime soon!!!
They taste like a mixture of beets and oysters.
At 5:32 something to the right, on ground, behind her.
It was your imagination. On the ground. Beside her. Look!
ummm,,, those "trolls" look a lot like rocks to me.
Yea like the dinosaurs fossilized if you think about it
They come in and out of our reality as they please. In order to see them you would have to surprise them, maybe put it in slow motion and look for colors and shapes that quickly dissapear when the camera hits it
In Norse mythology, trolls could not be touched by the sun. If they did, they burst into stone. A valuable weakness to know.
Kirsten Stewart has a doppelgänger
If you want to hunt a troll, just go to youtube coment
Hold the camera steady for the love of trolls.
This is a beautiful film but it reminds me of the people searching for the yeti and in the end of the film the guy finds a piece of poo, and he licks it. Says definitely it's definitely yeti poo.Yes it was a documentary.Or it was chuppacabra .
People saw something! Then the stories come!
Uhhhhhhh lots a lot like a big rock .
You're far more likely to see something worth while on my channel.
Falling ice and the tails of fools who dared to investigate
Colo bigfoot has several pictures of little people
They're on a different dimensional level to us...is this correct?
I’ve seen pictures of real trolls. They really are still out there.
any proof?
Yeah right
I think my sister is really a troll!
Er frá Íslandi from iceland 😁😁
Wait , attoll tutd ,they must exist.
There is a source of allthe old
Oh there is the former pan president for Europe, I was like okay where is he.
Fit
Nice looking woman who's doing the troll hunt
These creatures won’t hang around human cities so modern people will never see them. They live in the desolate forests. Scandinavia has a lot of forests.
Smokin good green in iceland . .ja!
Moral of the story, do not do drugs kids.....
..
Check out Woodward TV about trolls. The Bible and Norse Mythology are closely related. There's truth in both. People should read the Bible. There's truth and mystery.
2:31 Bigfoot?
Crazy people......
TROLL'S ARE REAL AND THEY ARE DEMONIC 🧐 NOMBS ALSO ARE REAL AND DEMONIC 👋
Damn...not one live Troll. I really thought the BBC Earth Division would ferret one out this time, too.
Bigfoot Colorado believe s in this he's nuts
This chick is actually putting feminism with trolls.
I bet the christians and catholics just laugh and laugh and laugh at the troll and fairy hunters.
Norway / Russian boarder.
G T F O !
Dry search Documentry, just to make fun of creatures that people seen through out history.
