According to Aftonbladet, a woman in her 40s is currently being investigated after allegedly stalking Ghost’s Tobias Forge. She was recently charged with harassing the frontman.
The woman was repeatedly sending messages, letters, and Swish money requests to the singer between July and October of last year. He initially ignored the various forms of contact and tried to block her on SMS and WhatsApp. However, she eventually sent him a phone.
Forge said the following about the mobile device:
“I didn’t want to keep it in my home, so I put it out on the balcony before handing it over to the police. I’m fairly used to people trying to contact me but over the years I’ve had about a dozen stalkers.
However, none have done anything as invasive and frankly threatening as sending a mobile phone. It wouldn’t have been good if, for example, I lived at a secret address. With that phone, I reached my limit.”
He went on to say that he has met numerous fans, but does not recognize the woman. Despite this, she claims they met 16 years ago and stayed in contact. She also believes they got engaged.
Notably, Forge is not seeking any money and has no desire to ruin her life:
“I’ve had devoted followers before — most are fairly harmless — but there’s something about this that feels unusual. I don’t want to make her life worse. I just want her to leave me alone and not harm anyone else.”
