00:50It's revealed.
00:54Year 1876 place, Akelbo, Sweden.
00:58It was a winter evening.
01:00Snow softly covered the rooftops of a quiet little town.
01:04In a small wooden house lived a young girl named Carolina Olson.
01:08She was 14 years old, simple, quiet, with pale blue eyes and soft golden hair.
01:13She lived with her parents and brothers, a typical working-class family.
01:18One day, Carolina came home from school.
01:20Her face looked very pale and tired.
01:23Ma, she said in a soft voice, my tooth hurts.
01:26Her mother quickly gave her a warm herbal drink, gently rubbed her cheeks, and tucked her into bed with thick blankets.
01:33Everyone thought it was just a toothache.
01:35But the truth was something else.
01:37That night, Carolina went to bed like always.
01:42Her cheeks still warm from her mother's comforting hands, her head resting on a soft pillow.
01:48The candle flickered gently in the dark room as silence wrapped around the house.
01:52But the next morning, Carolina didn't wake up.
01:58Her mother called her name softly, then louder.
02:01She shook her gently.
02:03Nothing.
02:03In panic, she splashed cold water on her face.
02:07Still nothing.
02:08Carolina's chest rose and fell.
02:11Her heartbeat was calm.
02:12She was alive but completely unconscious.
02:15No fever.
02:17No pain.
02:18Just gone into a deep, mysterious sleep from which she could not be awoken.
02:23What had happened to her that night?
02:25Was it an illness?
02:26A curse?
02:27Or something much stranger?
02:31Days turned into weeks.
02:33And Carolina still didn't wake up.
02:36Worried whispers spread through the village.
02:38Local doctors examined her.
02:40One thought it was a coma.
02:43Another claimed it was a rare condition called hysteria sleep.
02:47Something they believed affected sensitive young girls.
02:50But no one could explain why her body remained untouched by time.
02:55Priests were called.
02:56Some believed it was a curse.
02:59Others feared black magic had crept into the house.
03:02Yet all the signs were baffling.
03:05Carolina's skin stayed soft.
03:07Like she had just fallen asleep.
03:09Her hair didn't grow.
03:11Her weight didn't change.
03:13She was frozen in time.
03:15As if the world around her aged.
03:17But she did not.
03:18And still she breathed.
03:20Peacefully.
03:21But her soul was far, far away.
03:23It started with silence.
03:28Then days slipped away.
03:30Then weeks.
03:31And before anyone could understand, months had passed.
03:34But she still didn't wake up.
03:36She just lay there, still, quiet, like time had paused for her.
03:40Her family didn't give up, especially her mother.
03:44She looked after her, every single day.
03:46Washed her face, changed her clothes.
03:49Brushed her long hair with care.
03:51And sat beside her, softly whispering.
03:54Maybe today, she will open her eyes.
03:57But she didn't.
03:58Days turned into weeks.
04:00Weeks into months.
04:02And months into long, silent years.
04:05Still, there was no movement.
04:07She didn't open her eyes.
04:09She didn't say a word.
04:11Not even a small blink.
04:12Not even a tiny smile.
04:14Only her slow, calm, breathing.
04:17As if she was lost in a dream.
04:20So far away.
04:21And had forgotten how to return.
04:23Her body was alive.
04:25But it felt like her soul was missing.
04:28And this continued for nine long years.
04:31Nine years of quiet hope.
04:33And silent prayers.
04:35While the world outside moved on.
04:37But inside that small room, Tom stood still.
04:40Doctors from all over Sweden came to see her.
04:46Some said it was a deep psychological sleep.
04:49Like human hibernation.
04:51Others believed she was awake.
04:53Just pretending.
04:54But they found no proof.
04:56Newspapers began calling her.
04:59The sleeping girl of Akalbo.
05:01Her brothers grew up.
05:03Her parents aged.
05:04But Carolina.
05:06She remained frozen in time.
05:07Still, silent.
05:10Untouched by the years.
05:12Like a porcelain doll.
05:14Sealed in a glass box.
05:16Forever caught between life.
05:18And something unknown.
05:20Then, on April 3rd, 1885, something happened.
05:25Carolina opened her eyes.
05:28She blinked.
05:30Looked around the room.
05:31And softly whispered.
05:33Why is everyone looking at me?
05:35Her mother burst into tears.
05:38Her father fell to his knees.
05:40It was a miracle.
05:42But the strangest part?
05:43Carolina believed she had only slept for one night.
05:47She remembered.
05:48Nothing.
05:49No dreams.
05:51No darkness.
05:52Just pure silence.
05:53As if her mind had floated outside of time.
05:57First, she couldn't even walk.
06:00Her legs had forgotten how to move.
06:02But slowly, gently, she recovered.
06:05And here's the most bizarre part.
06:07Within a few months, she was walking, talking, even laughing.
06:11As if those nine missing years had never happened.
06:14Candle aftermath.
06:15Carolina Olsen lived until the year 1950.
06:19She died peacefully at the age of 88.
06:21And never again fell into such a mysterious sleep.
06:25Doctors, scientists, and historians studied her case for decades.
06:30Some called it psychogenic sleep.
06:32Others believed it was a coma without brain damage.
06:35But no one could ever explain why or how.
06:38Some whispered that she was protected by angels.
06:41Some said it was trauma.
06:43And others just accepted it as one of history's most peaceful and unsolved mysteries.
06:48So tonight, as you close your eyes and drift into sleep, think of Carolina.
06:54The girl who slept for nine years and woke up as if time had paused just for her.
06:59Good night.
07:00This was your history for sleep story.
