In 17th/18th-century Sweden, people apparently believed that worshippers of pre-Christian Nordic gods held sacrificial rites at the Trollkyrka ("Troll church") rock formation. Did the existence of such pagan holdouts have any basis in fact, or is this the 17th c. version of the 1980's Satanic panic?
