About this episode
This episode explores the haunted history and folklore of Tromso, Norway, a city above the Arctic Circle.
So since we’re headed straight into winter time, we really wanted to focus on an episode that just feels snowy and chilly. So speaking of holiday chills - we’re focusing today on Tromso (Trom-say), Norway – the “Gateway to the Arctic”. Tromso is a vibrant little city above the Arctic Circle, where the sun vanishes for two entire months out of the year! And if Santa’s workshop has a dark side, some might say it could be Tromso, Norway.
