Woman in Iceland sees and hears 'elves'

Steeped with folklore and mythology, Iceland is no stranger to tales of elves roaming the wilderness. Last December, 25 people turned out to protest the construction of a road through a lava field near Reykjavik on the basis that it would pass through a rock believed to be an elven church.

One of those participating in the protests was Ragnhildur Jónsdóttir, who from an early age maintained that she had the ability to see and communicate with these mythological sprites. No stranger to the inquisitive glance of strangers, Jónsdóttir remains steadfast in her beliefs and is convinced that everything she says is true.

Civilization never quite took hold in Iceland.

When you’re a long way from Christ there are all kinds of possibilities.

Many folks talk to Christ. I don’t see much of a difference between elves and Christ. To each their own, I guess.

I think after last night’s Eurovision, Austria is the new capital of Weirdo.

[BenLurkin]

You know, somebody who lived in a place that eerie...might be understandable to hold strange beliefs.

[right way right]

I guess you like bizzare sax.

Shouldn’t the headline be “Woman in Iceland is insane”?

Christ is the English from Greek word that matches the English from Hebrew word Messiah, signifying the Holy One of Israel prophesied in the Bible that will redeem Israel, include the Gentiles, and rule all nations from Jerusalem. Jesus of Nazareth was a historical man who is also the Christ. Elves, if one takes the origin from German mythology, would probably seem like angels from a Biblical perspective, which could be good or bad. In any case there is a huge difference between elves and Christ.

Actually, the music, for that genre of jazz, wasn’t all that bad.

The young lady? Yikes!

"Iceland's signature alcoholic beverage is Brennivín (literally "burnt (i.e. distilled) wine"), which is similar to Scandinavian akvavit. It is a type of vodka made from distilled potatoes and flavoured with either caraway seeds or angelica. Its potency has earned it the nickname svarti dauði ("Black Death")."

Coincidence? You decide.

Aaaannd, it goes from there.

My favorite scene from Labyrinth:

"OW! It bit me!!"

"Of course it bit you, it's a fairy."
