Haunted Stays at LaxTon Ghost's Borgvattnets Hostel | Lodging | Attraction

In northern Sweden’s Jämtlands län, 16 hours in Borgvattnets Vandrarhem offer a rare immersion into one of the country’s most notorious paranormal hotspots. Situated just 200 meters from the historic Borgvattnet Parish Rectory, this hostel has earned a reputation through repeated guest encounters with unexplained phenomena—ghostly footsteps echoing down the hall, fleeting spectral figures, and disembodied voices that pierce the stillness. Operated by LaxTon Ghost Sweden AB, this is no ordinary lodging; it’s a retreat where mystery and comfort collide.

The accommodation caters to up to 10 guests and unfolds over two floors: the upper level hosts three bedrooms, including a large room with six single beds and two smaller rooms with two beds each. On the ground floor, a fully equipped kitchen meets a common living area featuring Sweden’s only Black Mirror, a portal rumored to reveal astonishing visions to those who dare to look. This mirror is accessible at any time during the stay, adding a unique layer to the already intense atmosphere.

While Borgvattnets Vandrarhem leans heavily into its supernatural allure, its location in the sparsely populated forests of Jämtland is equally compelling. Nearby trails wind through dense birch and spruce stands alongside crisp, serene lakes, offering classic northern Swedish landscapes untouched by mass tourism. The lodge’s blend of eerie stories and natural solitude makes it a standout for travelers seeking something beyond typical outdoor adventures.

LaxTon Ghost Sweden AB has crafted an experience that feels intimate and otherworldly, yet grounded in tangible local history and nature. It’s ideal for groups interested in paranormal investigation, storytelling, or simply a night out of the ordinary in one of the region’s most atmospheric settings. For those ready to push beyond conventional travel—whether drawn by ghost tales or rugged Nordic wilds—Borgvattnets Vandrarhem is a memorable gateway.
