Geocache Description:

In 1654 three men were burnt for witchcraft in Trékyllisvík. It took place in a strange inlet called Kistuvogur or Kista.

In 1654 three men were burnt for witchcraft in Trékyllisvík. It took place in a strange inlet called Kistuvogur or Kista. They were thougt to have caused a strange illness afflicting the people of Trékyllisvík. One contemporary annal describes an evil spirit or demon which caused disturbances and turmoil especially in the church durin mass. When the sermon was read it would shoor down women´s throats and cause much belching and swelling of the stomach. Virgins were more prone than others to this behaviour, and sometimes up to 12 women had to be carried out of the church, foaming at the mouth.

The geocach is located close to the inlet.
