English translation

It was so long ago that Brandell, who is now in Nordingrå, was a priest here. At that time, a man named Erik Olsson died in Ramsås. It was said that there were spooks after him at night. But then the son went to Brandell, and after that it was calm, but what remedy he had received from B. no one ever knew.

Original transcription (Swedish)

Det är så länge sedan, att Brandell, som nu är i Nordingrå, var präst här. Då dog i Ramsås en som hette Erik Olsson. Det sades, att det var oknytt efter honom på nätterna. Men så gick sonen till Brandell, och sen lev det lugnt, men vad han fått för medel av B. fick ingen veta.
