Þórólfr bægifótr
Wi'aama fahin: Thorolf Twist-Foot, Thorolf Lame-foot, Thorolf Halt-foot
Þórólfr bægifótr is the great contagious revenant of Eyrbyggja saga. After his death the valley empties: animals go mad, a shepherd is found with every bone broken, and his victims join his company. His son Arnkel reburies the corpse on a hillside behind a high wall, and it is later burned. The pattern of an undecayed corpse, spreading death and escalating disposal anticipates the vampire panics of five centuries later.12
