The Hidden Folk: Do Icelanders Believe In Elves? - Stranger Dimensions

The elusive and magical residents of Iceland. known as the Huldufólk, are said to live inside rocks and play games with unsuspecting passers-by at times. They also visit people in their dreams. Is it all just a matter of Icelandic culture and folklore, or are they real in some sense? The same question doesn't arise with the 44,000-year-old paintings found a couple of years ago on an Indonesian island. Depicting humanoid figures with animal-like features in a hunting scene, these Mythical Beings May Be Earliest Imaginative Cave Art by Humans. Are the paintings simply an an artistic demonstration of a game drive, a manifestation of “animal spirit helpers," or the product of some very imaginative storytellers, like modern day Icelanders?
