These grouchy Nordic spirits kill via a pinch, usually delivered at night. The pinched skin will turn blue and cause a wasting disease, which will eventually travel to the victim’s heart. Unlike most ghosts, gjenganger look more or less like normal living people, which makes them difficult to spot. So keep your wits about you next time you’re testing beds at IKEA.
Likely origin: Gjenganger myths were likely Viking in origin, and may have to do with fears of plague.
