• 👻 Bredsätter Ångermanland A glow that keeps returning to the hall, and a crying that sounds like a newborn – in Ångermanland they call it the skväk, and it rises where a child has been done away with.
• 👻 Gubbträsk Lappland Pedlars who took shelter with the Gubbträsk man were never seen again. At last he had the church announce for a herd boy – and one came.
• 🌲 Kimsundet Hälsingland The man out in the sound refused to move his fish traps – and when the student threatened to duck him in the current, he began to grow until he reached the treetops.
• 🌲 The Great Brook at Lövberg Lappland Several had heard cries and wailing by the brook. Olle Nilsson met the man who blocked his path whichever way he turned – and learned who lay buried there.
• ⚔️ Spångmyrholmen Härjedalen Here Big-Märet was beheaded and burned – and three centuries later a bishop came to the islet to pronounce peace over the women the church itself had killed.
• 👻 The Strandgren Farm at Täftbyn Västerbotten The district called it "the ghost castle". The old man in the grey coat and long full beard had been dead for years when the tenant met him by the jetty at night.
• 🌲 The Bocksten Bog Halland They drove three stakes through the body and sank it in the bog. Not to hide the murder – to stop the dead man walking.

• 📖 Lake Sommen — the primal cow Sommakoa Östergötland The lake was made by the primal cow kicking open the rock; caged in a cave she eats one hair each Christmas Eve — then she breaks free.
• ⛪ Bjälbo church & Ingrid Ylva Östergötland Birger Jarl's 'sorcery-wise' mother is said to have been walled in standing in a pillar — while she held her head high the dynasty would be spared.
• ⚔️ Kårarp / the Gallows Hill (Eriksgata) Östergötland The district execution ground on the medieval royal road itself — with an Iron Age grave field, a hollow way and three runestones.
• 📖 Högby old churchyard & the Högby stone Östergötland An abandoned churchyard and Östergötland's second-greatest runestone, naming the freeholder Gulle's five sons — all dead.
• 📖 Kungshöga grave field Östergötland One of Sweden's larger Iron Age grave fields — 125 graves, judge-rings and standing stones, in use a thousand years.
• 📖 Mount Omberg & Queen Omma Östergötland The mountain's mist-queen weeps in the Rödgavel cave so fog settles over Vättern — giants dwell in the rock and hurl stones at the churches.
• 📖 Sverkersgården & the 1156 regicide Östergötland Here King Sverker the Elder was murdered by his own stable-hand on the way to Christmas matins in the dark — a memorial stone remains.
• 📖 Lake Vättern — the lake-wight & the scornful laugh Östergötland A mute old man was foretold to drown by the seer at Fjuk; when he was found dead in the ice-hole, witnesses heard 'a ringing scornful laugh from the lake'.

• 🏛️ The Bakehouse at Friggesund Hälsingland The widow was found dead at the dough trough on the night of 5 February 1899 — after that no one in Svedjebo would bake there, and the whole cottage was moved.
• ⚰️ Bygdeå Churchyard Västerbotten "Blessed are they that sleep", read the gravedigger's wife as she crossed the graves. Then something sighed heavily beneath her: "We do not all sleep so well."

• 🌲 Messlingen Härjedalen Nine sledges drawn by nine small horses carried a coffin across the frozen lake – and on the pasture west of the village, hymn-singing rose out of the ground itself.
• ⛪ Njurunda Old Church Medelpad She was first to the Christmas dawn service and sang along with the hymn – until she looked up and saw that every soul in the pews lay buried in the churchyard outside.
• 🏚️ Särkilax Chapel Norrbotten The ice break-up tore the whole church loose and carried it away — and, tradition says, ripped open the graveyard, so that coffins and bones floated in the water.
• 👻 Välsta Hälsingland "Look at the ugly dog standing on the floor", said old Mrs Behm at supper. No one else saw it – but everyone heard the rattling at the window and smelled the quenched embers.
• 👻 The Björketorp Stone Blekinge Four metres of standing stone carrying a runic curse: whoever breaks this shall be restless with malice and die by cunning. Nobody has cared to test it.
• 🌲 The Blue Maiden Småland This is where the witches flew on Maundy Thursday. And whoever takes a stone from the island has bad luck until it is returned – the council gets parcels every year.

• ⛪ Church of the Holy Cross, Ronneby Blekinge The axe cuts are still in the oak door. Behind it the townspeople stood and listened to the king's soldiers hacking their way in — 4 September 1564.
• ⚰️ Korsbetningen and Valdemar's Cross Gotland The stone cross asks passers-by to pray for the fallen — beneath the grass 1,800 Gotland farmers still lie in their mail, the heat having made them too foul to loot.
• ⛪ Kristianopel Blekinge In the marsh by Baneberg lies a copper kettle full of treasure. The teller's great-grandfather saw its handle break the surface — then spoke to his farmhand, and it was gone.
