In the 1800:s the Russians invaded Northern Sweden and took gold from the residents of Piteå. The tale says that an old lady was responsible for keeping the residents of Piteås gold and treasures after they heard that the Russians were coming back. However, when the Russians left and the residents sent to collect their treasures, she was dead due to natural causes. No one has found it since then.
