like one-room art gallery like it's like white walls pretty empty stuff like

paste it up on the walls or or tacked up on the walls and then there's like a

dude in first and like a fur hat and like a fur vest chanting and like going

around a circle a sorcerer sorry yes yeah well he looks like a sorcerer

shaman he's sort of doing this circle and then he's spitting it's very

incongruous these things together yeah well what you can't see in that video is

the life-size skeleton crawling out of the floor okay tell me more I'm Eric

Grundhouser and this is Atlas Obscura a celebration of the world's strange

incredible and wondrous places today we're venturing far away from the hot

dogs and bars of reeky vick to a remote village in northern Iceland there

we'll explore the ancient lore of the occult in Iceland learn how to steal

milk from our neighbors and play our eyes upon a pair of pants made of human

flesh the museum of Icelandic sorcery and witchcraft after this I know who you

are but no one else does sure who are you and what do you do my name is
