This weekend I ran into Gryla which is the most hideous and horrifying monster we have in Iceland. She comes from the mountains at Christmas in search of children to eat. She captured me using her cat as bait but I got away. It was a close call.

I just learned how to sneak up behind people and scare them half to death. If you're the inpatient kind you can also try it at the dinner table and forget the whole sneaking part.
