The Rectory

The priest's house in the small village of Borgvattnet is considered the most famous mystical place in Sweden. For the first time, Pastor Eric Lindgren reported about the devilry going on in his own house. It happened in 1947, but strange things had happened there before.

According to the holy father, he and his wife, together and separately, have repeatedly witnessed unexplained phenomena. Strange music was periodically heard in the house, and at night the front door often slammed, and someone could be heard walking heavily into the kitchen, which then turned out to be empty. There was a rocking chair in the living room, but the owner of the house could not sit in it, every time an unknown force simply threw him on the floor.

Lindgren even started a diary, where he wrote down every mystical case in detail, and then began to collect information about the former owners of the house to find out if they had experienced anything similar. It turned out that they had. 

It all started in 1927, when the position of the local parish priest was held by Vicar Niels Hedlund. He was the first to encounter the unknown here, heard heavy footsteps behind him more than once, and had to constantly collect laundry scattered all over the house. The following pastors could even boast of meetings with real ghosts, a certain Lady in gray appeared to them, and in 1941, three ghostly women appeared at once to one of the officials who spent the night in the house, who did not disappear even with the lamp lit.

After the revelations of Eric Lindgren, the church abandoned the ill-reputed and already rather dilapidated house. Until the 1970s, it stood abandoned, and then turned into a mini-hotel for those who like to tickle their nerves. And, I must say, many ghostbusters came here for a reason. The amount of evidence and the variety of forms of paranormal activity in the house shocks even seasoned mystics and we can only expect with interest what other surprises this mysterious house will present to them.
