The Hauntings in Solberg and Juhlin

It was generally believed that the hauntings at Kerstop Per’s farm in Solberg were due to his having murdered a traveling salesman, a man from Småland. It certainly looked strange, for things suddenly became so grand on that farm, they said. Among other things, he had set up a shop. Right next to the farm stood a small barn. It was never used for anything thereafter, yet it was not torn down as long as Kerstop lived. It is believed that he buried the man from Småland there. When he died and his son took over the farm, the son sent for Pastor Janne Juhlin, asking him to try and get rid of the hauntings. The priest stayed awake until after midnight, wearing his clerical collar and coat the whole time. But alone he went out. It looked exactly as if something had called him out with it. They believed it was a spirit that only the priest could see. After a little while, he came back in, undressed, and went to bed. Thereafter, no more hauntings were heard on that farm.
