It's hard to remember exactly who told me but I think it was a kid who was a few years older! The stories from Northern Europe are sometimes a special kind of dark. As a kid you respect and fear the forest because of all the stories. As an adult you kind of feel nostalgic when it comes to the folklore so you may downplay how frightening it actually is to children with a vivid imagination

I had a similar trauma but it was food related. We eat Liver paste where I'm from and when I was around seven I was told a horror story about a kid who made it from his grandmother's liver. She returned at night to take it back by gutting the boy. I didn't eat the stuff for -years-. And to think no adult considered the risk of telling kids the story.
