The Orkney Finfolk


Up in the Orkney islands, there is legend about a sinister race of sorcerers called Finfolk. These were able to control the elements, bring about storms and shapeshift. They looked like amphibians and could disguise themselves and live among humans sometimes, and other times they dwelled under water. They lived mainly in a city called Finfolkaheem, and spent the cold winters there. It was believed that this unknown city was under the sea. During summer, the Finfolk went to Hildaland ("Hidden Land"). These Finfolk had a trait of stealing people. 

On 14th July 1990, a ferry with eighty-eight registered people ("bird watchers") landed at a port in Eynhallow island, an event organised by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. On the journey back, just eighty-six people were counted. The police and coastguard searched for the two missing people, but they never found them. Some assumed that the two people might never have existed, or the passengers were miscounted. Among the other bird watchers that visited Eynhallow, they believe the two missing might have been the mysterious Finfolk.
