English translation

In Svala, Njurunda parish, Medelpad, a man had hanged himself in a spruce tree by the country road. One evening, when a woman with her son from a village named Källåsen in the same parish were driving along the road, they saw him on his way to the place. He was carrying a rope on his arm and was dressed the same as at the time in question.

Original transcription (Swedish)
