The subsequent journal was discovered by rescue groups deep in the Finnish forest, no bodies were ever recovered however a torn photograph of a hamster was discovered near to the scene.

Using the Norwegian Blockbuster Troll Hunter as inspiriation myself and a small outfit made our way to Scandanavia on our own Troll hunt, this time Finland was our destination.

We had looked at our options all over scandinavia but found that our cameramans acquaintance in Finland afforded us the best chance to get up close and personal with our forest dwelling foes. After months of preparing we found ourselves being greeted outside the Finnish airport by the man who was about to drop a bit of a bombshell, Antti Niemi. (I would like to take the time to point out that this was not the former Finland International Goalkeeper that starred in the Scottish and English Premier leagues, simply a man that shared he same name.)

It was while we were driving back to Anttis house that he told us about his off road vehicle being literally off the road at the moment, something about the flux capacitor I believe. As much as we wished that we could have just given him the money there and then we all found ourselves short of spare cash due to the financing of the trip. Antti insisted that he had a answer though he then proceeded to fully clarify to us how he would get us out of this situation, we would have felt better if it had been explained in English but we made out a few phrases that led us to believe he would be able to get a loan quickly ” Lainaa nopeasti ” the smile on his face and his relaxed state made us all feel a bit more at ease as he carried on while we drifted by limitless woods that would with a bit of luck contain our Trolls.

” Pikavippi nopeasti ” was proclaimed loudly as Antti made for the phone. We presumed that we would have to wait for days for this process to be ironed out but brilliantly Antti came back saying we should pack our bags because we would ride at midnight, by this I think he was saying the vehicle would be fixed and we could carry out our investigations that very night.

As we moved deeper into the woods the night grew darker, intolerably black shadows chased our tail lights and knotted roots reached up to the moon while we adroitly picked our way through the never ending maze. We then stopped and went by foot for quite a while and this is how I find myself alone and huddled inbetween the fallen branches of a shattered tree. I do not want to know how the tree was shattered and the outcome of my accomplices appears to grow ever more precarious with each frightening sound that fills the night air. If I make it out of here I can take with me two indispensable pieces of knowledge. Do not venture into Troll land defenseless and Finland is the place to be if you are looking for quick and easy loans that can be processed in under an hour.

I can hear something big, near, breathing…if this is ever found tell my hamster to reach for the stars and that I lov…..
