A draug in the old Norse meaning of the word was a dead person come back to haunt the living. They could dwell in the borrow where they had been buried but could also roam free to do their haunting. Another word for them was haugbúinn that translate into borrow-dweller. Later it changed meaning slightly and in modern Norwegian it refers to a person who has drowned at sea and their body been lost so it has not gotten a Christian burial. This unfortunate soul is according to folk lore doomed to haunt the coastline in half a boat trying to drag others with him to his watery grave
