"Álagablettur" at Laugarvatn: Margrét from Öxnarfell was a clairvoyant woman. She claimed to have seen elves living in a moss that was part of the hills at Laugarvatn, but that the moss was a "álagablettur". However, one time a farmer from Gíslabær cut the moss and harvested a significant amount of hay. The following winter, the farmer lost his best cows, and since then no one dared to touch the moss. (Oral source from an interview).
