Six calves were once trapped inside a Vosborg house for two weeks after being snowed in during a winter storm. When the snow finally melted, their owners were amazed to find them not only still alive but well feed, which they attributed to the work of the Nisse. #FolkloreSunday

This one is probably only relevant for any Danes following.
I drew (didn't write) a comic for upcoming Danish anthology, Skumringstid, about nordic folklore!
Below is a link to the kickstarter to get it printed and we'd appreciate the hell out of any support!!🙏
