Eurotrip!! What could go wrong…?

We stop in Finland, specifically Lake Bodom; a scenic area where many stop for water sports, hiking, and camping. However, Lake Bodom is also associated with an infamous unsolved case. In June 1960, 4 teenagers went to the lake for a fun couples trip. However, the next morning 3 are found dead, and the only survivor has serious injuries. The case of who dun it has continued for decades; and spoiler- it’s 2025 and although there are theories of who the killer was and what went wrong, there is still no definitive answer; only a dark past that leads parents to warn their children of the dangers of Lake Bodom. 

Off to Sweden where we visit the Borgvattnet; the MOST haunted location in Sweden. Created as a vicarage, a home for priests of the Lutheran Church, the Povegalia was home to many people. The first family’s matriarch died in childbirth, but instead of conducting a proper burial, it seemed her body was buried in the yard, then taken once the family moved out. But that’s not the only thing that’s a little creepy; people are said to have seen a lady in grey, music playing and stopping on its own, furniture moving when there IS NO furniture, and a rocking chair haunting- because of course there is. Now, the place is a haunted Bed and Breakfast where people can rent a room or the whole house- and are even awarded if they manage to stay the night.
