Show Notes

According to the BBC, "Since regaining its independence with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Estonia has become one of the most economically successful of the EU's eastern European members. Estonia joined both the EU and Nato in 2004. Ruled at various times during the middle ages by Denmark, the German knights of the Livonian Order, and Sweden, Estonia ended up part of the Russian Empire in the 18th Century. It experienced its first period of independence in 1918, following the end of World War One and the collapse of the Russian Empire." Now that we bored you with a history lesson of Estonia, how about some folklore. Including a ghost of a lighthouse keeper, a gentle giant, and other creatures.
