In Norway, in the north, we have reported sightings of havdrauger (sea draugrs, in other words, undead seamen/fishers/sailors) that have been sighted just a few years ago.
Often seen wearing a typical yellow Norwegian fishing suit.
Sometimes they are seen standing on shipwrecks in the sea.
In our folklore draugrs are usually split in two catogories, one for seamen, and another for men who are buried. In the viking age they were especially connected with gravemounds, and sometimes people who opened a gravemound to steal the loot there had to battle the draugr.
