Unrest after the deceased

It has been a long time now since Sven Persson in Sörgidsjö died. His wife spoke of how there was "unrest" in the house after he died. She heard at night how the deceased was down in the cellar, rummaging with the potatoes. He must have at some point measured stingily when he sold potatoes, and now he had to measure them as punishment after his death. One night she took a light and went down into the cellar. She didn't see anyone there, but she called the deceased by name and, in God's name, asked him to go away to where he belonged. After that, he was not heard from again. – In life, he was hard-working and always in a hurry. Perhaps that was because he had so little time left to live. He had to rush to get things done before he died. And he was unkind to his wife, his children, and his father, so it was not surprising that he haunted after his death.
