Gunnuhver in Reykjavík, Iceland

An Icelandic folktale links the name 'Gunnuhver' ('Gunna's hot spring') to Guðrún Önundardóttir ("Gunna"), a woman said to have quarreled with her landlord over unpaid rent and the seizure of her cooking pot. After Gunna's death, the story relates that she haunted the area until a pastor lured her spirit toward a hot spring using a ball of yarn; in many versions the ghost falls into the steaming pool, and the place thereafter bears her name.
