The Imjärvi Imp: Finland’s Most Bizarre UFO Encounter

About this episode

In 1970, two Finnish skiers paused in a quiet winter glade near Imjärvi when a buzzing sound, a descending fog-wrapped light, and a ten-foot disc-shaped craft changed their lives forever. What followed was one of the strangest UFO encounters ever recorded: a glowing three-foot imp-like being emerging from a fiery circle of light, a mist smelling of sulfur, physical paralysis, burns, illness, and years of surreal follow-up contact experiences. Zelia Edgar breaks down the full case in vivid detail, exploring the creature’s folkloric features, the symbolic role of mists, lights, crossroads, and mushrooms in anomalous lore, and how the Imjärvi incident blurs the line between UFOs and ancient myth.
