“Supposedly back in the Viking days there were many of these rock mazes by sea shores to trap evil spirits.
Here’s how they worked:
A Viking slowly walked in the maze.
His evil spirit followed him in.
The Viking then started speeding up and running and eventually ran out of the maze.
Because bad spirits didn’t move as fast, they were trapped in the maze.
The Viking is then ready to go to sea spirit-free.”
