Myling comes from Scandinavian folklore — the restless spirit of an unbaptised or unwanted child, often abandoned in the wilderness. Doomed to wander, these ghostly children are said to climb onto the backs of lone travellers at night, growing unbearably heavy as they demand to be carried to a proper burial ground. Their cries pierce the forest silence, and those who cannot bear the weight risk being crushed to death under the Myling’s grip.
