- It starts with the homeowner Svante Svensson falling enormously in love with Matilda Wester, says Robert Fors, Hälsinge historian living in Los.
The young couple lived in the forest village Djupsjöberg in the border areas between Hälsingland, Härjedalen and Dalarna. They had a daughter and Svante started building a stately two-storey wooden house with attic and basement. But when Matilda was about to give birth to her second daughter, she bled to death on the stairs outside the house. The child survived.
Full of grief, the man left the house standing half-clear. Nine years later, Svante died in the suites of a work accident. The two daughters ended up in foster care. More than a hundred years later, the house is still half clear in the woods. The current owner has no plans for the house.
