The history of one of these hidden layers is, however, little known and rarely spoken of – I refer of course to the San Francisco trolls.
Though some hold that the trolls are a primitive people original to this area, and were in the hills even before the native american Ohlone, other, more reputable sources hold that the first trolls, or “underground peoples” as ethnocultural historians have named them, were actually disappointed miners, distraught by the dissipation of their golden gold rush dreams. Unable to return to their long-abandoned wives and families in the east, they utilized their skill at mining to create networks of caverns well hidden within the many hills of the young city.
And they are with us to this day.

» trance music – oddly, a favourite of trolls
» Mumiy Troll – Russian pop band – not really trolls at all

You, sir, are a liar and a scoundrel. You so-called experts wouldn’t know a Troll from a turnip, not even if the Troll came to your home in the dead of day and spit curdled milk in your know-it-all face. They say all publicity is good publicity, but they couldn’t be more wrong.
Thanks for nothing.
