The gjenganger is the walking dead of Norwegian, Danish and Swedish folk belief and the direct heir of the saga draugr. Early accounts make it a solid, violent corpse that torments its own family; later ones turn it into a carrier of sickness whose pinch leaves a mark that spreads to the heart. Burial customs across Scandinavia were designed to keep it in the grave. Its slow change from corpse to ghost tracks the wider European retreat of belief in the bodily dead.12

In Scandinavian tradition it is wholly physical, with no spectral qualities12

Later lore made it a spreader of disease through the dødningeknip, the 'dead man's pinch', inflicted on sleepers12

Cairns called varp marked death sites, and travellers added a stone or twig in passing12

In modern usage it has faded into an ordinary ghost12
