STORY
Our journey today brings us to a secluded ghost town in the Swedish
countryside. Amidst the abandoned houses, we uncovered a unique community frozen in time, each dwelling still holding its original inhabitants' personal effects. Further investigation revealed that the residents were all retirees, with Ruth, a middleaged woman living in the smallest house, taking care of the community. They sought solace from the outside world, enjoying peace and quiet in their rural retreat. Tragically, Ruth's sudden stroke left the entire community without assistance. Unable to find immediate help, they collectively decided to vacate the premises and relocate to a nearby retirement home. Overnight, the once vibrant community became an eerie and desolate site, frozen in abandonment.
Ruth's house remains the most preserved, offering a glimpse into her life.
Inside, everything is meticulously arranged, as if she never left. Adorned
proudly with the Swedish flag, the exterior reflects the respect people have for others' belongings. Ruth passed away in May 2011, and since then, the passage of time has left everything untouched.
The residents were remarkably adaptable, finding ways to enjoy their solitude while maintaining a sense of community. They shared common spaces like the Swedish sauna and the community garden, creating shared experiences that enriched their lives.
