The Church Grim
I love folklore, its always interesting to read the stories we've made up over the centuries about all sorts of creatures, real and imagined.
Here is one from Scandinavia; the Church Grim (Kirkegrimen) is a creature that guards churches and graveyards. The Church Grim keeps order in the graveyard at night and chases away graverobbers.
I think its fitting that I'm posting this on Friday the 13th, another superstition.

ReplyDeleteThank you for teaching me a new word and showing me a new critter. I might use it for a story.
