The Troll Archive is a curated compendium of troll lore, folklore, and documented sightings from across Scandinavia. Here, myths, oral traditions, and historical accounts meet field reports and careful observation — all presented neutrally, without claiming definitively that trolls are either real or imaginary.
This site serves as a reference for anyone fascinated by trolls, whether you are a folklorist, adventurer, researcher, or simply curious. Within the archive, you will find:
Troll Types: Detailed profiles of mountain, forest, cave, coastal, hill, and other elusive trolls.
Habitats: Maps and descriptions of where different trolls are said to dwell.
Behavior & Activity: Patterns of movement, feeding, and interactions according to folklore and observations.
Reports & Folklore: Collected accounts from historical texts, oral stories, and modern encounters.
Gallery: Illustrations, concept art, and visual interpretations from past and present.
The Troll Archive is a space to explore, learn, and question. It invites curiosity and encourages you to approach the unknown with an open mind — because in the shadowed forests and hidden fjords of Norway, the line between myth and reality may not be as clear as we imagine.
