Nah... We don't really have any "evil spirits" in Norway, and all the trolls are dead. There are bears and moose though,but they generally fuck off as soon as they hear you.
But I'll agree with the whole "complete silence" thing. I was taking a little daytrip a few years ago, on a mountain I've been going up and down since I was like 5, and decided to go through the forest to take a new route up. Had walked for maybe an hour when everything just went silent, and this was in late spring/early summer, so there should be birds and bugs and everything in between.
I stopped and had a look around before figuring out that new routes are stupid and went back to the trail. No idea what happened. Probably a bear,but they are extremely rare around here.
