According to Statistics Sweden, there are around 500 societies in Sweden that have more or less disappeared.
Kilforsen northwest of Näsåker in Sollefteå municipality is one such place.
Solvei Molin lived here for three years in the 70's.
When she now visits Kilforsen, she does not even find the place for her house.
- It is tragic, I have lived here anyway and do not recognize myself, she states.

There was only forest
The Kilforsen community was built during the late 1940s in connection with the construction of Kilforsen's power plant.
When the project started, there was only forest, not even a river.
The water from the Fjällsjö River was led to the site by artificial means and down into the power plant's turbines deep in the ground, to then flow into the Ångermanälven river.
Nice time in Kilforsen
When Solvei Molin moved to Kilforsen, the power plant construction was complete and parts of the community were already gone, but she remembers it as a great time.
- It was cozy when we lived here, she says.
The power plant era was short, the so-called water rallies moved on to new projects and gradually all buildings were demolished and moved.
Today there is only one house left in Kilforsen.
The only resident moved here a few weeks ago:
- It feels a little strange that they demolished everything, but I'm glad that my house remains, says Aki Leinonen.
The turbines continue to supply electricity deep into the ground, but it is as if nothing had happened on the surface where the forest has now taken over again.
