The stone to the far right is known as the Bride. Folklore has it that a couple had their marriage blessed in this place and lived here for a while. However, the marriage broke up and the Groom, in fury, took a pick axe to one of the stones that resembled the groom. One of the stones that now lays on its side. However, when he attempted the same with the Bride stone, loud screams echoed across the moor and he and the villagers that were with him ran away terrified.

According to legend, the deep Lake Lagarfjlót is said to hold a beast called the Lagarfljót Wyrm, a cousin of the Loch Ness Monster with a lot more history. While the earliest significant records of Nessie go back to the 1870s, the Lagarfjlót Wyrm has been spoken about since 1345.
The Devil's Needle
"The dragonfly occupies a strange position in folklore."
To say the truth I knew two things about dragonflies. They can fly backwards and their faces are really ugly.
However, this interesting article, from where I got the quotation above, took me to an interesting journey to know how different people think about dragonflies.

Are dragonflies good or bad? Do they represent wisdom or are they the devil's needles? Read to know.
At first, thought the Krampus, "I'll hunt her, I'll snare,
The demoness with her pink flowing hair."
With hooves and with horns, his fury ablaze,
He chased her through shadows, through moonlit haze.
But she only laughed, a whisper, a tease,
Drawing him deeper through frost-laden trees.
The moon hung red, the forest held tight,
And soon he forgot his reason that night.
The hunt turned to dance, a game, a chance,
And his fierce pursuit became her romance.
Winter passed on, spring softly arose,
And with it, a secret began to disclose.
Nine months later, ‘neath storms in the skies,
A little one came with laughter and cries.
A baby with horns, with charm so sweet,
The demoness proud, and Krampus—defeat!
"I thought I was hunting, but now I can see,
A father, a daughter, that’s what’s come to be.
Together we’ll wander, hand in clawed hand,
A Krampus who found love in this snowy land."
at a park i saw this statue representing a local folklore all children were taught at school, malakas at maganda (strength and beauty) , a creation myth (origin of man and woman). i'll spare any more descriptions as i'm sure there are more informations that the reader can google.
