Fróðá Farmstead
Fróðá Farmstead, situated on the northern coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, is the setting for the famous 'Fróðá Marvels' (Fróðárundur), the most extensive ghost haunting recorded in medieval Norse literature. Detailed in the 13th-century Eyrbyggja Saga, the estate was plagued around 1000 AD by a terrifying wave of deaths, phantom seals rising through the hearth floor, and undead revenants crowding around the hall fire. The hauntings were only halted after chieftain Snorri the Priest held a formal door-court (dura-dómr) to legally banish the dead, making Fróðá an iconic saga landmark and dark tourism site.
