In the summer of 1932, a remote Norwegian village was shaken by an event that seemed more like myth than reality. A 3½-year-old girl, playing quietly near her home, was suddenly snatched by a massive eagle. Witnesses described the bird swooping down with incredible speed, digging its talons into the child’s clothing, and lifting her into the sky before anyone could react. It was a terrifying moment frozen in time, and within minutes, the entire village had mobilized to search for her.

For nearly seven hours, over 200 villagers combed the surrounding forests and rocky cliffs in desperation. Their only hope was to find the eagle’s nest—high above the ground and perilously difficult to reach. Eventually, the child was discovered in the eagle’s nest situated 180 meters up a steep cliff face. Incredibly, she was alive and largely unharmed, curled among sticks and feathers, dazed but safe. Her rescuers were stunned by her survival, calling it nothing short of a miracle. The eagle had not attacked her further, and it seemed she had simply waited quietly in the nest.

The little girl grew up to live a long and peaceful life, ing away on November 12, 2010, at the age of 81. Her story became a cherished legend in the village—a tale of wonder, survival, and the mysterious forces of nature. For many Norwegians, it’s a reminder of the wild beauty of their homeland and of how close to the edge life can sometimes come, only to be pulled back by fate and the strength of community.

This one be like story of tortoise we used to hear those days.

How possible is it for the child to still be alive & "largely unharmed" after 7hrs of being in the custody of a hungry Carnivorous eagle.
Na the eyes the eagle go 1st chop.

If you believe this, you can believe anything.


Confirmed tales by Moonlight...

Hmm, So eagle carry humans. Thank God the child survived

Snatched by a bird of prey, but found unharmed is nothing short of a miracle.

Super eagles

The Largest Flying Bird with the longest wingspan is the Golden Eagle. That's possible

And it just so happens that they had a camera nearby

The eagle made a mistake,small wonder it just dropped the girl unharmed in its nest...The quicker the better to go find eatable prey like snakes and rabbit...

Omo, eagle na werey o, na person pikin e carry like that wan go chop, so other meats don finish inside forest ba? Why those hunters no wait make the eagle return for him nest make dem fire am better AK

I don’t believe those pictures. The same happened around 2019 in the US. The eagle dropped the child quick. In her case, it may have gotten shocked and flown off when it realized she wasn’t its normal prey. If it was a lamb or baby goat, quick suya.

This must be the same eagle on the Nigerian Coat of arm

Lol Seun might regret following all these reforms that keep making this site distasteful and frustrating.

Facebook and Twitter never move like this

Back to the topic, the whole story sounds like fiction.

Dey play, Eagles are great hunter and they see every other animal which they can carry as food

What a fantastic story.

I'm glad to know the girl survived

I can't help but laugh to see how everyone is modifying their comments to reach 40 characters hahahahahahaaaaaa
