Edit Profile
Career
Roos had a reputation for being able to predict the future, which was fashionable during the reign of Gustav III of Sweden, and she made some predictions which attracted attention. In 1791, she predicted misfortune to King Gustav III, something he reportedly referred to on his death bed after the assassination by Jacob Johan Anckarström in 1792. Roos and her spouse made an attempt to profit economically on her talent.
They traveled to Paris in France, where they founded a Bureau d"Esprit à sa maniére with the intention to summon spirits.
In 1797, they returned to Sweden as, according to Carl Christoffer Gjörwell Senior, the spirits were not "inclined to arouse success in the now so carnal France".
