Scandinavian Myth: Kraken

You have perhaps seen the Kraken in the Pirates of the Carribean Movies, but the myth of the Kraken is older than so. In Scandinavia, many sailors belived they could encounter a great seamonster when they og in the Norse sea or in the Atlantic sea to Iceland.

The Kraken vas a occtopuss like creature that was enormous. It could attack ships and some ships also just sail into a Kraken that suddenly come up from the deept of the sea and the ship would be destroyed.

Today we know about different types of enormous occtopusses. Most likely some of them was spoted in the sea or dead bodies of them where found at beaches around in Northern Europe, and from does sightings, the stories of Kraken come.
