Troll is today’s creature feature. The troll comes from Norse and Scandinavian lore. In Norse mythology it’s said that they live in isolated areas like mountains to be away from people. They are considered to be dangerous to humans. In Scandinavian lore, the troll is depicted in much the same way as in Norse lore. They stay away from humans and rarely help anyone. It is believed they live in family units (father and daughter, mother and son). They are usually associated with a particular landmark. The troll is seen as slow-witted and ugly.

Okay, today is going to be a little different. I’m going to be talking about my favorite show Supernatural. I’m going to try and not give any spoilers. I have been a fan of the show since the first season and it’s now season nine. It will be going into season ten in the fall of 2014. This show has featured everything from angels to wendigos. Angels and demons seem to be the popular creature lately for the show.  I like the fact that you can look up whatever creature is being featured and there is a ton of lore about it. One of my favorite sites to check out that has tons of information is Supernatural Wiki.
