In Sweden, dozens of migrants asked to be relocated from a refugee center in a haunted house. 35 people turned to the migration agency and complained about the "ghosts" that spoil their lives.
According to the Associated Press, refugees complained of flashes of light and frightening sounds in the water pipe of a house located in the small village of Grannafors.
The representative of the local branch of the migration service, Magnus Petersson, said that 58 people live in the shelter. According to him, the department can do nothing to help those who are disturbed by ghosts: there is nowhere else to resettle them.
Petersson is convinced that "paranormal phenomena" can in fact be explained from a rational point of view. For example, the flashing of lamps may be due to faulty switches, and sounds in the sewer pipes occur due to temperature changes.
This year, an unprecedented flow of migrants rushed to Europe due to events in the Middle East. Countries such as Norway and Sweden are particularly attractive to refugees due to their high level of social security. And the visa-free space in Europe allows migrants to move freely between different countries. And many of them seek to obtain refugee status in a country other than the country where they originally arrived. The day before, Norway announced that it would deploy visa-free migrants arriving from neighboring countries (including Sweden) at the border. The Norwegian authorities have previously promised to tighten the migration policy - to make it "one of the toughest in Europe."
In addition, as reported by The Local, the inspection rules on the border between Sweden and Denmark are being tightened. From January 4, border guards will check the documents of everyone who travels from one country to another.
