In this episode, Harlie takes us on a walk down a Swedish New Year’s Eve tradition. The Year Walk, rooted in Scandinavian folklore. This centuries-old ritual, dates back to the 1600s and was believed to reveal omens of the year ahead. From ghostly visions in graveyards to strange signs along the path.
