Gråmannen

nature-spirit · Norway · Nordic

Not independently attested in folklore literature. No Norwegian source records a mountain spirit called 'Gråmannen' in Trollheimen; the only attested use is the place name Gråmannen, a small summit and viewpoint near Kristiansand in Agder. The troll-guardian narrative in this entry is invented and appears in no ethnographic or folk-tradition source.
