We made a quick stop nearby at Öxl to see the place where Axlar-Bjorn, Iceland's first (and only) serial killer, lived. In the 16th century, he opened his farmhouse to tourists as a guesthouse. If he thought hey were rich, he would murder them with an axe and steal their possessions. When he was apprehended, he was executed. They feared that he would return as a ghost, so they dismembered his body and distributed the pieces in various geographic locations to prevent his body from being able to reassemble itself.
