The eagle fight at Leka is one of the most famous stories from Norwegian folklore.
On 5 June 1932, three-year-old Svanhild Hansen was playing outside her farm on the island of Leka in Nord-Trøndelag. Suddenly she disappeared, and a large search operation was launched. After several hours, she was found on a mountain shelf, around 170 meters above sea level, alive but with some scratches.
It was believed that a sea eagle had taken Svanhild and flown her up to the mountain shelf. This was based on witness statements and the traces that were found. Her dress had marks that could have been from an eagle's claw, and there were no other marks to indicate that she had climbed up herself.
The story of the eagle robbery created a lot of attention both nationally and internationally. Many were skeptical that an eagle could lift a child, but local residents and those who took part in the search operation were convinced that this is what had happened. The incident has been thoroughly documented and discussed afterwards.
Ornerovet has become part of the local cultural heritage at Leka. Svanhild's dress, with its eagle claw marks, is on display at Lekatun, a local museum. Information boards and marked hiking trails have also been set up in the area where Svanhild was found. The story has inspired books, articles and documentaries, and it is still told as part of the island's history.
Svanhild Hansen grew up and lived a normal life after the dramatic event. She herself has told about the experience in interviews, and the story has become an important part of her life and identity.
The story has caused a lot of debate and skepticism over the years, but many local residents who took part in the search are adamant that it was an eagle that took Svanhild. The dress she wore, which had eagle claw marks, is on display at Lekatun.
The incident has become part of local cultural heritage, and information boards and marked hiking trails have been set up in the area where Svanhild was found. Books have also been written and films made about this dramatic event.

Eagle attacks on humans are very rare, but they can occur under certain circumstances. Here are some reasons why an eagle might attack a human:
Territorial Defense: Eagles are highly territorial and may attack if they feel their territory or nest is threatened
Protection of young: If an eagle feels that its young are in danger, it may become aggressive to protect them.
Prey confusion: In rare cases, an eagle may mistake small children or pets for prey
Provocation: If an eagle is provoked or feels threatened, it may attack in self-defense
It is important to note that such attacks are the exception and not the rule. Eagles usually avoid humans and will only attack if they feel threatened or provoked.

Bare hyggelig, helt enig med deg i at det ikke er tvil om at Svanhild denne dagen ble fraktet opp på Hagafjellet av en havørn, på tross av alle eksperters tvil.

Vekta på 19 kilo ikke var rett.
Svanhild ble hengt opp i en gammeldags tre-bismer for veiing, de hadde ikke kilos-bismer eller kilosvekt.
Vekta kunne godt vise 19 enheter, men da pund, ikke kilo.
Et Dansk Fellespund eller Skålpund, som visstnok gikk ut av bruk i 1887, tilsvarer 0,498 kilo. 19 pund vil da gi 9,46 kilo. Dette stemmer mye bedre med størrelsen på kjolen hun hadde på, gjennomsnittlig vekt hos jenter i denne alderen.
