We all have grown up listening to various fairy tales, folk tales, stories of the great warriors and what not. There were some tales that were from the ancient towns that were abandoned and later gave birth to horror stories. Some of them were so engrossing that it seemed to be real while some were so surreal that it took the form of myths.
The North Germanic tales gave birth to the Norse Mythology. Their folklores talk about many mythical creatures and beasts, something which even has piqued the interest of the scholars since the 17th century. However, a photographer from Norway came across a creature over the mountains that was no less than a mythical one. It was too good to be true to be on the planet. What was this creature?
Mystical Beasts
Mystical beasts are almost impossible to exist. Even scientists have not been able to track creatures like a unicorn or a mermaid. They are just beliefs that at some point in the past, in some ancient past these creatures existed in real on Earth. Or did they?
Curious Nature
As a child of a curious nature, he always had many questions about the existence of monsters, ghosts, humans with deer-like head and if these tales were fictional. However, none had the answers to his never-ending queries. Little did he know that in future he will come across a creature that seemed to have come from one such folk tale.
A Passion
As Mads grew old, he left behind all these childhood bedtime stories and called them nothing but a piece of fiction. He then pursued his passion for photography. He loved taking random snaps of various things he came across. But one of his captures of a creature that appeared to have come from another parallel world made him a popular face.
From Hamnøy
As a travel photographer, one often looks for some of the most exotic locations which are less explored and are worth a capture. And Mads was no different. He had traveled half of the world in such a search. This story unfolded in the small village of Hamnøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. Mads chose this location for its mesmerizing scenic beauty. Who knew then that this beautiful village will give him something unworldly.
Village Of Fishes
Being an island surrounded by water, fishing was the main occupation of the people residing here. This village was even termed as the fishing village. The life on an island is not easy and there is not much to do either. However, this is one of those places that will fascinate you with its beauty. Even Mads was clueless about this place that has more than just its landscapes…
The Unknown
Even in his wildest dream, Mads would have never thought that while capturing the most scenic location he would come across a creature, that for an instance would compel him to think that he is daydreaming. This creature seems to have come from another planet, another land. What was this unlikely to exist creature?
