One of the towns up near here was founded primarily by Scandanavians, I think, because there are trolls EVERYWHERE. Almost everybody has a troll figure on their porch or in their yard. It's what the entire town is famous for -- the town-wide troll collection. When we used to drive through there when I was little, my parents and I used to count how many trolls we could see.
