The Legend of Gretus

There are at least a couple of different beings that are that are generally talked about in these traditions. There's the hog boy and the drogger nd. These are both undead barrow dwellers. In such cases, the life force exits the body too quickly before the individual can make peace with the prospect of dying. While trama of violent death added to the fear among survivors that such a dead person might resent their return. And yet there's still some kind of element of badness about this scenario because it isn't so called "death" but rather being dragged back out of the grave.
