Fred Andersson is a renowned researcher, television freelancer, author, and podcaster from Sweden. With a focus on high strangeness, the paranormal, and UFOs, He has carved a niche for himself as an out-of-the-box thinker and explorer of the weird. In 2023 “Northern Lights: High Strangeness in Sweden,” was published, which is the first book written in English entirely devoted to the subject of high strangeness, UFOs, and other mysteries in Sweden.Fred has worked on UFO-Mysteriet, the first Swedish documentary series on the UFO phenomenon, and this fall will see the release of a new series about hauntings and other strange things around in Sweden. He's currently researching conspiracy theories for an upcoming television project and is researching a unique form of historical ghostly mass hysteria.
While Sweden is known as a secular, rational country, where stories of the paranormal are considered something of the past, the truth is quite the opposite. According to Fred, the country has a long history of weirdness, unexplained observations, and eerie encounters, often connected to the countryside, desolate roads, and empty fields. From gnomes, elves, and trolls of the past to UFOs and aliens in modern times, are they perhaps all connected, just different perceptions of the same underlying phenomenon?
