LaxTon Ghost Sweden AB is a paranormal tourism operator based in Borgvattnet, Jämtlands län. The company organizes guided tours, investigative events, overnight stays and private hires at Borgvattnets Prästgård and the adjacent Vandrarhem, and manages Sweden’s Hemsökt Museum in Borås. Offerings range from 45‑minute guided tours to extended 12‑hour museum hires and themed Halloween walks.
Tours are led by named guides including Philipp, Tony and Niclas, who teach visitors to use professional ghost‑hunting equipment such as K2 EMF meters and other investigation tools. The Hemsökt Museum in Borås is presented across 450 m² and displays haunted artifacts from around the world; that museum is described as a top‑rated attraction on Tripadvisor.
Booking options include single‑room stays, booking the entire Prästgård (six rooms, up to 13 guests) or the whole Vandrarhem (up to 10 guests). Small‑group experiences and private events are offered, including a ten‑person 12‑hour museum hire and guided tours with hands‑on investigation time. Some events have limited capacity and require advance booking.
Safety, respect for historic properties and clear event rules are enforced for overnight and investigative experiences. LaxTon Ghost Sweden AB emphasizes factual storytelling and historical context alongside practical investigation techniques rather than sensational claims. Visitors should consult specific trip descriptions for exact dates, age guidelines, equipment rental options and booking details before reserving.
Contact details and current event schedules are published on listings and The Adventure Collective feature pages; visitors are advised to verify availability, rental fees and any safety requirements before booking to ensure appropriate preparation.
