Located in the remote village of Borgvattnet in Jämtlands län, Sweden, Borgvattnets Prästgård stands as a unique intersection of history, mystery, and paranormal allure. Built in 1876 and perched roughly 100 kilometers from the regional hub of Östersund, this century-old parsonage earned its notoriety in 1947 as Sweden’s most haunted house. Since then, it has drawn thrill-seekers and curious travelers eager to immerse themselves in an atmosphere charged with whispered ghost stories and unexplained phenomena.
Operated by LaxTon Ghost Sweden AB, this historic property offers an unusual lodging experience where visitors can book one of six individually storied rooms or reserve the entire house for groups up to 13 guests. Each room, from the Rosa Rummet to the Gråterskornas Rum, carries its own history entwined with reports of paranormal activity, heightening the eerie ambiance throughout the old wooden floors and arched doorways.
The outdoors surrounding Borgvattnets Prästgård adds a layer of rugged Scandinavian charm, with thick forests and rugged terrain typical of Jämtland’s wilderness. The area’s climate swings sharply by season, providing diverse backdrops: from the fresh blooms of spring and green summers to colorful autumns and snow-blanketed winters.
