Hesteyri is the real Westfjords setting of Yrsa Sigurðardóttir’s supernatural thriller I Remember You, not a verified traditional haunting.
故事
Hesteyri is a former settlement in Iceland’s remote Westfjords. Its abandoned buildings and isolation make it an evocative setting for ghost fiction.
Yrsa Sigurðardóttir’s novel Ég man þig (I Remember You) uses Hesteyri as the setting for a supernatural thriller. The haunting is part of the novel and should not be confused with a documented local folk legend.
