Kyöpelinvuori

Encyclopedia : K : KY : KYP : Kyöpelinvuori

Kyöpelinvuori, in Finnish mythology, is the place where dead women haunt. It is rumoured that virgins who died at a young age gather there after their death at the start of their afterlife.

Kyöpelinvuori is also well-known in Finland due to Easter: it is said to be the ancient home of mountain witches who fly on brooms with black cats. The witches leave the area only during Easter in order to spook children.
