English translation
In Sillre Mill it was said to be haunted 40 years ago. It was supposed to be after the old woman from the farm there, who had died some time ago. Up in the attic, where she had kept her things and belongings, one often heard rustling and working. At night, the servants' bedclothes were pulled off, and all sorts of other pranks occurred that could not be explained in a natural way.
Original transcription (Swedish)
I Sillre kvarnen sades det spöka för en 40 år sedan. Det skulle vara efter gumman där i gården, som dött för en tid sedan. Uppe på vinden, där hon haft sina ordningar och tillhörigheter, hörde man det ofta rusta och arbeta. På nätterna drogs sängkläderna av tjänstefolket, och varjehanda andra spratt skedde, som man ej kunde förklara på naturlig väg.
