Kyöpelinvuori (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈkyø̯pelinˌʋuo̯ri], from kyöpeli = obsolete word for ‘ghost’, possibly either from Germanic *köbel, modern German Kobold ‘elf’, or Low German spökels, modern Swedish spöke ‘ghost’, and vuori ‘mountain’), in Finnish mythology, is the place which dead women haunt. It is rumoured that virgins who die young gather there after their death at the start of their afterlife.
