A Man Lived 60 Years Secluded From the World in His Abandoned Tiny House

The older i get, the more i want to live like this man did. Far away from people and everyday life

He had it right. Solitude is a dream for many today. Sick of craziness of this world affecting peace and tranquility. Those in the old days had it right.

I am an old man from the USA and I am impressed that so many of his belongings are still there. I had to say this if this home was in America all of those things would have been stolen long ago. But I know the Swedish people are more honest and respectful.

The low ceiling and the small rooms are a way to protect yourself from the severe cold during the swedish winters

He had the right idea sometimes its best to stay away from people

60 years without talking to other people! I would love that.

I think its beautiful its old but has many stories to it.👍🦉🙏rest in peace to the person who lived there.🌷🌻🍁🍂🌿🌾🌲💐Amen.

My neighbour lived in his old stone house for the entirety of his 85years, did zero upkeeping since his parents past away & never left the house in his last 30years. Neighbours shopped for him & would leave it on his doorstep...he wouldn't allow anyone in his house. On him passing 5years ago, I was fortunate to go inside & I was totally amazed at what I saw. It was just like stepping back in time 50+ years ago...his kitchen was a fire pit stove & solid stone worktop balanced on solid stone uprights. The house has since been completed renovated.

That typewriter was beautifully preserved because the owners had carefully kept it covered up, and then you uncovered it, and left it unwrapped. That made me very sad..You are usually both very respectful but this upset me.

You can tell it was a very well kept and beautiful home❤️. May he and his belongings rest in peace ❤️

46 years old Swede here. I would guess the old man died in 2004 year, or during the end of 2003 year, and during the last year(s) of his life didn't have power or possibility to do any upkeeping. Before that he at least tried (the typical Swedish Christmas lamps in the windows, even if he lived where noone saw them except perhaps the mailman!) The woman's clothes could as well be his old mother's, or maybe he was once married but his wife died suddenly or left him, and he never threw the clothes away, maybe dreaming some strange dream that she would eventually return? Or maybe she was his sister which would explain that there is no real bedroom for two in the house? I noticed some details on the ground floor were clearly from 1990s or early 2000s (like his surprisingly newish landline telephone and some of the grocery store paper bags), but on the upper floor the grocery store paper bags were of a 1980s style just like I remember them from my childhood then. Maybe the upper floor was left in a mess when the man got old and couldn't walk up the stairs any more. Probably he lived his whole life in this place and it wasn't any problem as long as he had his power, but finally he got too old and couldn't move, let alone take care of the house, but still refused help (or refused to ask for help) from the local authorities, There are, or at least used to be, lots of people in Sweden living like this man, alone in a small wooden house deep in the forest, where time stood still since their mother died or something like that... At least this man had electricity, a landline phone, a mailbox and it seemed he had some contacts with the outside world.

I love how you are ALWAYS respectful Leslie (and your companion, I cannot recall his name, right now) You are a wonderful young man. God bless you both.

The electric candle holder in the window is not jewish. It is a very typical swedish christmas decoration. Everone here have them.

As we grow older, we realize that peace if important than anything in this world, many want to live away from chaos and noise. We don't have to react to everything, just keep calm and let things calm down. Peace is inner healing

This guy lived the dream. Beautiful place. Definitely my kind of vibe. 😊

"...lived 60 years...in his tiny abandoned house." It wasn't abandoned when he lived in it. It's abandoned now.

Definitely a woman's touch in the decorating. The wallpaper, curtains and the clothes. Maybe she passed away first and he became a recluse. Thanks for sharing.

That was probably a beautiful little cottage at one point.

Ever since I experienced the city life I realized that secluded life is what I would prefer;solitude,nature is therapeutic..

This video is truly a great inspiration to start the day with a strong and optimistic spirit. Wishing everyone good health and peace in all circumstances!
