Since the fortress was built it has been the scene of numerous assaults and bloody battles. During World War II, many members of the Norwegian resistance lost their lives.
The locals, speaking of the castle, report a succession of paranormal phenomena and ghosts.
Probably the spirits of the many unfortunate who died after being held prisoner within the castle walls. Souls seeking vengeance within the halls of the fortress.
It is said that near the gates of the castle the spirit of a dog wanders around that would bring misfortune and death to anyone who has the misfortune to spot it.
