A connection to a previous event in the house!

I had company and also lived with a woman and this experience is connected to her and a visit to her parents.

We were going to visit them and they lived up north and we ourselves lived in Stockholm. It was a drive of maybe 450-460 kilometers.

Her parents were living out at their summer home at the time which was a large farm and had previously been the permanent residence of a well-established person in the area.

Since her father knew that I was interested in houses and buildings, he showed me around the house. It was a large two-story house and a log house that was built in a special way.

We wandered around the basement and then we took the street level. Then we were going up to the upper floor which contained some bedrooms. As soon as I started to walk up the stairs I felt that something was not right in the house upstairs.

My feelings intensified the further we got upstairs and when I entered a room I froze to death and strong emotions took hold of me. I asked her father what had happened upstairs and especially in this room. Something terrible must have happened in this room.

Her father looked at me incredulously and said he knew nothing. In the evening we sat in the dining room downstairs and had some food. Suddenly there was a woman standing outside the house shouting “hello, hello”.

The strange thing was that I heard the shouts, her father heard the shouts, my friend’s brother heard the shouts but none of the women heard anything at all. Her brother said I should go out and see who it was. He came back and said “How strange there was no one there”!

Her father called me after 14 days and told me that he had done some research around the house because I had such strong feelings when I was there!

“Sten, you were right. In that room upstairs, a maid had died in childbirth, both the maid and the child had died. It was a big scandal in the village because it was the master who had made the maid with the child”.

When after a number of years I met the woman I lived with and we talked about past times. Both her parents were dead. I asked what happened to their big house in the country.

“Sten, can you imagine that the whole house had burned down”. It was clear to me then that the maid had arranged for the house to burn down so that her soul could be released and find peace.

Me, the fool, should have gone out and seen if I could make contact and help her across to the other side.

I remember that I avoided the upstairs during the time we were there and that was of course wrong of me. I was not mature enough to handle such contact at the time.
