Aptrganga or Real Norse Zombies [Video]
Well, it’s getting closer to Halloween, and since I’ve been meaning to include an occasional video, I’ve decided to include a great video by Jackson Crawford about Aptrganga or “Again Walkers,” i.e., zombies or draugr .

Apparently, even if you managed to get cremated, if another creature ingested the ashes, it could cause amazing mayhem. Anyway, check out the video!
