The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man

Sweden

The extensive Facebook campaign in Swedish and Danish brought seven hits in the first week, which in turn led to four appointments. One from Denmark and three from Sweden.

The offer involved two options: contact with the other side or help with troublesome spirits. The séances were held in the medium’s apartment in Rosengård and priced at three thousand kronor per session. Driving out spirits and the like was, of course, best performed where the spirit actually was; in such cases there were additional charges for travel and lodging for Esmeralda and her assistant.

Of the first four bookings, all concerned wishes to establish a dialogue between the customer and a deceased loved one. All four came to Rosengård. Three of the séances went well. The fourth case involved a recently drowned fisherman. His despairing girlfriend wanted one last conversation with her beloved. Esmeralda established contact with him, but at that very moment so did the girlfriend. The drowned man had not drowned at all, but had floated to shore on Bornholm with a broken-down boat engine. The first thing he did when he was rescued, of course, was call his sweetheart, who cried with joy, before demanding her money back.
