Subscriber-only episode

The Isdal woman case has intrigued me for years and has led me down endless rabbit holes. It remains Norway’s greatest mystery, and for good reason.
The Isdal Woman refers to an unidentified woman found dead in Norway in 1970. The case is shrouded in mystery, with elements of espionage and an unknown identity. Was it suicide? Was she murdered? Despite extensive investigations, her identity and the circumstances surrounding her death remain unresolved. Who was this mysterious woman, and what led to her bizarre death?

Quirky Law: A police officer outfit might sound like the perfect Halloween outfit, but not in Norway. You can get up to 3 years of prison time if you dress up as a police officer, even though it’s more usual for people who break this law to get fined a few thousand NOK.

The rule is in place to prevent people from being unsure if a person is a real police or not, so police costumes that are obviously not a real police uniform will not be illegal.

And while this might sound strange to some, it’s not for Norwegians. A police uniform costume made to look as real as possible was part of the outfit for the July 22, 2011 terrorism where 77 people (mainly children) lost their lives. https://thenorwayguide.com/surprisingly-illegal-things/
