World's oldest eel dies in Swedish well (The Local)

The world's oldest European eel just died in its home, a well in a southern Swedish fishing town, aged 155.

Some people have ghosts in their attics.

Tomas Kjellman, resident in the little fishing town of Brantevik in Skåne, has always had an eel in his well.

"My family bought the cottage in 1962, and we always knew the housepet was included," Kjellman told The Local.

Its presence has been well-documented for more than a century.
