Cinco castillos y sus fantasmas || Relatos del lado oscuro podcast

0:00 Normally, when we talk about ghosts, we imagine ancient medieval castles and yes, it is correct. The most classic ghost legends of all are about ancient medieval castles or very old castles. In general, some of them may be Renaissance, but they are castles that are more than 400 years old and yet retain features of their past life in a paranormal form. Many of these places, over a long period of time, have witnessed ghostly appearances of the most varied to the point that today, with modern equipment, with recordings for voices and psychophonic inclusions, incredible information has been obtained from these places. You don ' t believe me Come with me. Let' s take a tour of some of these places, which you might say are haunted castles. We begin accounts of the dark side, strange beings, inexplicable events, diverse stories that other lenses prefer to ignore. The first place I would like to take that

1:42 Slovenia, the central part of Europe to the east, in a place known as Preyama pret Llama has a peculiar pronunciation. In this place there is a very old castle. It' s a beautiful castle. It is currently a museum and, curiously, the museum always closes before mysterious nightfall. Perhaps this castle, which since the end of the Second World War was expropriated by the Yugoslav Government, became a museum and some twenty years ago has begun to have tourism or perhaps a little earlier. The thing is, people go there, they pay a ticket and they can walk around. The old castle is the castle of Pretyama and, as such, has a phenomenal history. But don ' t forget that the castle closes before dark. That means that in winter it closes at five o' clock in the afternoon, in spring it closes at six o' clock and during summer it closes at seven o' clock and everyone absolutely leaves there. Nobody' s staying. The guards are outside in a small village, but inside the castle, at nightfall, there' s no one, or maybe it' s just that they' ve been

3:15 there for too long, something like four hundred years or five hundred. So that gives you an idea of the place. But let' s start with history. This place, where the castle is located, is a cave, a huge cavern. This area of Slovenia has several caves. In fact, near there, about ten kilometers away, there is one of the largest caves in Europe, a cavern, but this in particular is a cavern that was inhabited by the first human beings to inhabit the region in the Neolithic period. Later, with the passage of the centuries, the place was occupied by many different tribes for different uses, but it has generally lived and would not be until probably in the thirteenth century, when this castle appears in the historical annals and appears written, but it already existed from before. It is believed that it could have been built in the year one thousand and fifty- three of our era, which suggests that it is nine hundred and seventy years old, but of course, there are several stories before. This place became a fortress.

4:28 It was not conceived as a palace. A great distinction must be made. This castle was a fortress, it was a place that became an impregnable stronghold. Any troops, any army that tried to take it, would face three or four problems. The first of them is that it is high, very high, and is fully protected. The whole back and both sides are inside the cavern, which makes the front the only way to attack. And yet, the front is at the top of a cliff cliff, and there is a hillside where you can reach it, but there is only one access and that access is protected. Anyone who tried to take this castle would have to face formidable defenses already from above trying to take off, which was almost impossible, whether it was throwing things away. It would also be almost impossible because of the shape of the cliff itself. Attacking on the front was useless.

5:31 Not much could be done, the thick walls, the huge walls, all that would prevent an attacker from succeeding. That was the idea. But in addition, this formidable castle would be built in such a way that it would also take advantage of the cavern, that the cavern itself would form part of the castle' s facilities, both down a form of pit and for stables, and all uses would be perfectly protected. The concept was tremendous and yes it did work and worked wonderfully to the point where the castle is mentioned at some point in the 13th century, about one thousand and two hundred and fifty, as the property of a wealthy family. It was not a castle for kings, it was not a defence fortress and it was owned by the Lueg family the Lueg were soldiers serving the king and, as such, their job was to protect against the invasion of the Turks and Ottoman Turkish empire.

6:39 This stronghold, this powerful castle, would prevent troops coming up from Turkey and those regions from reaching the flat territories and areas of the cities. It was an impregnable fortress that would serve to prevent these hosts from coming to attack the small forms of the king that were further into the territory. So this was a place where very dangerous situations of high risk would be faced, being besieged, being attacked. This site became a bulwark and one speaks of a very particular character, Erasmus. Lueg' s story of Arasmus is an unusual story, because he was a knight of those old- fashioned knights, a wary guy of armor, sword, helmet who went out to fight and beheaded, cut off and made horrors with enemy troops. And when there were captives, well, you know what I was doing with them. He took them to Pretyama Castle for questioning. The castle had dungeons inside its facilities, a torment room, a sort of cut. They called him a courthouse to make an attempt at trial. The point is that these soldiers, these are senstives were taken there for questioning and they simply wouldn' t do very well, because, in fact, during explorations already in modern times we are talking about the

8:11 eighties and nineties. At the bottom of a moat located in the back, it is a kind of vertical moat of the geological formation itself, it is like a precipice inside the cavern. At the bottom of that was found numerous skeletons of the Erasmus era, that is to say that they were skeletons that had perhaps seven hundred and fifty years of being launched there. None of them had armor or things that might reflect that they had accidentally fallen into battle or something. They were people, they were people who had been thrown into that place, which demonstrates the cruelty that existed in this place, in this place, in this castle. The captives would face horrors in there, but not just them. The original castle was not designed to be an elegant place.

9:05 It was a place where there would be soldiers, where there would be people coming and going, horses, medieval knights, all bewitched by the violence they had lived to the point where the original castle was a place everyone was afraid of, because once they entered, there was no way out, there was no way for anyone to escape. Well, there was, but you had to know how to get there. There. Erasmus had grown up in another castle, in another fortress, but had fought here It was to such an extent his bravery that the king himself considered it worthy of his trust. Erasmus then became a bodyguard in the strong man, in the custodian of the king himself, a kind of very honorable title. The family would then be distinguished by that appointment which elevated him to a sort of second of the king and his trusted man, his strong man, his thug. The problem is that, at a certain point, one of Erasmus' fellow arms then fell into disgrace, some mistake made. The fact is that the king condemned him to death and dishonorable death a denigrating death and ended the life of that man.

10:31 Erasmus. However, despite the pain that his fellow gunman, his friend, was tried and murdered cruelly, violently and unjustly, because he did. That man had no fault in what had happened and yet they took his life. Erasmus, in spite of that, fulfilling the sacred vow to guard the king, followed him by his side. But then that bad moment came in a tavern while they were drinking a man of confidence from the king and sent from another monarch, offended the memory of Erasmus' friend. Luege mocking how he had been burned, how he had been horrified. Rising at that, Erasmus rises up to draw his sword and challenge to death. That man initiates combat.

11:26 Of course, that embalmed subject attacks Erasmus, without realizing that he is fighting the king' s own bodyguard, against a man who had left hundreds of soldiers on the way that without any problem, takes his life when he ends up with him. Only there is a blood stain, a corpse, but that obviously annoys the patron of that soldier, of that minister, as you wish to call him. And this causes the King himself to order Erasmus to be punished, and punishment means death. What Erasmus could be. They had dishonored his memory, his friend' s memory, offended him and now the King took away his confidence and condemned him. Erasmus took a horse and rode all night until reaching the fortress, the fortress of Prethamma. When he was there, he barricaded himself with all his men, with enough supplies.

12:26 The King, of course, said good. There' s no point in just trying around the fortress and they' ll starve to death. However, Erasmus knew the passageways of the caverns and was very soon outside. He knew how to get in and out through those hidden passageways and how to get to the roads. With all the horse he became a highway robber who used to attack the king' s fortresses, the envoys, the caravans, the markets. He stole everything that was stuck in the grey and then went back to the castle and walked through the windows, throwing things at the soldiers who were there in the fence, those who were outside guarding so that no one would come in and out. He threw fresh food at them just to mock them, noting that the siege of the castle of Prethama would be forever and that they would never be able to catch it that was prolonged and about a year was what lasted that place. It was terrible days, terrible days because those men faced the winter, the king' s soldiers and died frozen there at the foot of the castle, as they watched Erasmus pass quietly through the windows, perfectly sheltered, enjoying meals and things, and someone then had an idea.

13:56 Yeah, why not betray him. They told one of the servants that they would provide him with great riches, that they would even provide him with some noble title. In exchange for him betraying Erasmus. He was also threatened that he would starve very soon when all the entrances were closed. In return, the only thing I had to do was that when Erasmos was in front of the castle near a window, this servant would light a candle. With that candle he would approach the window in sign that Erasmus was vulnerable so that those soldiers would shoot some catapult or a bombard something and end Erasmos. They say that at one point that man lit a candle in the window. They knew that that shot was fired at the moment. I don' t know exactly what it would be. He knocked down the walls r to Martins.

15:00 Erasmus immediately and seeing that his boss had fallen, many of his soldiers escaped, fled leaving the castle. Only the winners who had killed Erasmus spread the idea that Erasmus had died while in the bathroom, that is, that he had gone to the latrine and shot him there, which, by the way, is not proven, but it is quite logical, because it was the least protected place in the whole castle. The fact is, he dies right away. The castle is evicted, completely looted by those who arrive and remains there for some time. It would not be until one thousand four hundred and eighty- five, when members of the Habsburg family would occupy the castle and begin the reconstruction after the siege at the takeover. That would be badly damaged, but it wouldn' t last long for them. For 1, 500 eleven, the castle again reacted, conditioned and converted into a modern building of the Renaissance era, would be completely demolished by an earthquake. But the curse of Rasmus was in progress because the people inside, including the direct descendants of those who took his life, died trapped in the rubble, crushed by the roofs, by the rocks for all that remained inside the castle, buried.

16:30 Some time would pass and it would not be until 1, 500 seventy when the castle would be built again. The remains of those people would be thrown into the ravine along with the rubble and instead the new castle would be erected with a different appearance, but equally beautiful. Don' t kid yourself. It is not a new castle or today it is four hundred and fifty- three years old. It premiered in 1, 500 seventy and knows something. From that moment on strange things began to happen. In there for years, people didn' t want to be there. People in town left because they didn' t want to be there. The place was full of frights.

17:18 The first and most scary of them was Erasmus himself, who was seen walking through the rooms still in the new building. He could be seen if he could hear his heavy walks, those armors, those things that were used heavily wandering through the windows. But even more something you could see certain nights is that in the window on the left side above suddenly a light went on. It was said that the light was the same as the one used as a signal, because that room was not in use. In fact, no one wanted to be there. They left that area of the building for fear of what was happening, but suddenly it lit up as if that guy who betrayed was Asmus, going on and, of course, they took his life.

18:07 They didn' t want it to be known. So, once the castle fell and they realized it had been a betrayal, the other soldiers fled, but before they took his life. But it wasn' t the only thing, because in this place, from that moment on, the building was occupied on different occasions. In fact, in the 19th century, in a thousand eight hundred and ten, the building was owned by fon Konenbergh, but sold it very soon, barely three or four years, and sold it did not continue using it the building was empty during World War II. There were, rumored, Nazi force troops there It is also said that this building was occupied for annerve experiments, because Saint knew where it was haunted. But there is no proof of that and for many researchers it is nothing more than a legend, although certainly these regions also saw action. After World War II, the building was confiscated by the Yugoslav Government and subsequently converted into a museum. The building you see today is a museum and can be visited in exchange for some euros. You can take a very interesting tour and walk through each room and the grotto, enter the grotto and even buy some subirving to the door, as long as it is with daylight, because at night the employees leave,

19:41 so don' t expect any more of them simply leave, because in this place even when more than five hundred years or six hundred of the violent events that removed the Viderasmus, something is still hanging in there and at certain hours of the night, as it is told. Of course, there' s no way to prove it. You start to hear the sound of steps, the heavy steps of a knight in armor, the voice of command laments and if you go down a little bit to the dungeon area, where the camera of Tormentos was, then there things change And there are those who say that suddenly you hear voices that beg, voices that speak in an unknown language, because let me tell you that the current Slovenian language. It' s not the same one that was spoken six hundred years ago and it' s hard to understand what the voices there say, that are recorded there. When a special program of those paranormal TV research programs was recorded on the 2, 000th, those men claimed that paranormal voices had been recorded on the site. Many of the guides and guardians and the people who worked during the restoration laughed a lot, because all of them, without the need to carry apparatuses, without the need to carry thermographic cameras, infrared cameras, without any of that, all of them had heard something, had felt something and someone had pulled them

21:11 out, pushed them or to walk suddenly to Erasmos through those thick corridors. How can it be that so long later the sum of many things has remained. Don' t lose sight of the fact that these people weren' t very religious either. In fact, let me tell you that Erasmus himself, at some point, also had quarrels with the church back then, so they weren' t exactly devoted people of any faith and they were extraordinarily cruel all those horrors added up in the same place where there has already been death, where there has been the collapse of a building. Tortures generate a space, a kind of marggas that makes them stay there, like knowing simple guesses, but there they remain trapped between their thick walls and the heavy enormous walls of the cavern, those spectra wandering through the nights. Now let me take you to a very peculiar place in England is in Shropshire, near the River Teme to the north is Luthlou Castle. It was a fortress that resisted attack after attack built in a thousand seventy- five. Give yourself an idea of how

22:44 old you are. This is at least nine hundred and fifty years old from being there. This place Ludlow, today is in ruins. However, it was a brutal scene of bullets. The War of the Roses was fought there, the wars between Richard, Heart of Lion and those of the North, between John without Earth, all those terrible battles were fought here. This place was besieged from one side to the other. Always the attack, the pit, in the style of film, the high walls, the drawbridge, the tall towers, the trunks from where they were launched from balloons bombards, catapults, all that. This was the place and there was nothing glamorous about it.

23:33 No, no, no, no, be fooled, it wasn' t Disney. Inside things were horrible pestilences. It wasn' t a comfortable place. All the time. There was a strong smell of horse, dung to, torch lit to oil used to burn in flashlights in whatever they had to light up. It was a cold, wet place. The aim of this place was to defend against the attacks and it was very efficient. It was an incredibly deficient place to the point that he resisted attack after attack. 11th century, 13th century, 13th century, When de Lazi tried to attack, this place was defeated. But later the place was finally defeated and when the borders were over and this was no longer used, because there was no one to fight. The castle was little by little. In the 18th century it was retaken by the British crown itself. They remodeled it. Then they made it a little more elegant. One of the wings became an area of nobles where there were carpets, chimneys. All of this was no longer a border fortress, there were no longer those great battles, but there were some details, such as when in one thousand six hundred forty- six it was taken by the realists during the English Civil War, all the prisoners were executed

25:07 there in all. Not exactly known, but for years human remains have been found buried right there. Surrenders were not accepted and those taken were executed. And yes, that' s the test. In one thousand six hundred and eighty- six, he was then again attacked one and the other. And again, when the people of Parliament took over the castle, they executed all the realists who were inside and when they told all that they included men, women, children, whatever was inside the castle, because, of course, when the people of the villages saw that the opposing troops were coming, they ran to hide inside the castle, assuming that they would be safe there.

25:53 But as they fell, they all faced death. This place, it is said, had blood walls stained. When centuries have passed away, it may be only a myth, but that was said. But there is one particular figure that has been striking attention since very old times and that was probably the reason why, after the conquest of this castle, it was abandoned. Even though he had been remodeled, even when he had been made very nice things, he was abandoned. And it is that, according to it, in a very old time, in the year one hundred and forty full medieval period, there was a tremendous story in the lord of the Castle had a young woman named Marion de la Bruller. She was a trusted girl, she was part of Mrs del Castillo' s entourage. This woman was an attractive young woman, as she is told, of great beauty and who served the lady of the castle. On one occasion, however, as he walked through the village accompanying his lady, he fell in love with an elegant and distinguished young man whose name was Arnold de Lazi. This subject, however, was an enemy, the lord of the castle. It was an extraordinarily dangerous subject who,

27:25 along with several other gentlemen, were planning how to take the formidable Castle the great fortress, which was not easy to attack this place. It was a death sentence if you didn' t have something prepared. The fact is that this man takes care of going little by little working through small messages, small sneaky encounters there on the streets with this girl Mariom de la Bruller. Mario wasn' t a charmer, but he was very innocent. One good day, this guy asks him to allow him into his bedroom, promises him many things and Marion is greatly excited because she is simply a courtesan, a court clerk in part of the entourage of the lady of the Castle, that is, nothing. And this gentleman seems to be very elegant. And even though she has already learned that Arnold de Lass is contrary to the Lord of the Castle, she does not resist love and one of those nights, through a window, pulls a rope so that the lover will come up and be with her in the room. A night of storm, of course, a night of lust, a night of love that ends when at dawn this subject escapes through the window and disappears. She collects the rope quietly, keeps it happy in her romantic thoughts. Days later that is repeated and then repeated again.

28:53 But that time it' s different. Arnold Nelas arrives at a good time, as he has always hoped the lord of the castle has traveled. That night. There' s no sir and there' s not all his soldiers. The rope goes off and Arnold climbs up and, between hugs and loving advances, Marion forgets to pick up the rope, but Arnold has not forgotten, since behind him comes his brother and a hundred knights, who climb the rope and very quickly take control of the castle and begin to kill everyone. It' s a butcher' s shop there. Marion realizes what has happened, He realizes that he has betrayed his master, He realizes that she herself has been betrayed and desperate. He approaches Arnold by pretending a sentimental and romantic advance that tarugo, as is often the case when Don Juan believes that he does not let himself be loved without knowing that the young woman takes the sword and cuts his neck in a quick movement. She' s taken her life knowing she' s lost because as soon as the guards get here, they' re going to kill her. He begins to climb towards the tower of the castle in the hope that from there he can make signs, warn something, but for his bad luck, oh perhaps of his own free will,

30:23 his body falls from the tower, from the high tower, towards the rocks that are below the sharp cliffs, ending his life down there. According to reports, his body was not recovered, no one picked him up. He lay there and then threw the bodies of others who remained below the castle. From that moment on, the castle began to have a series of paranormal problems that spread to the point where, in a thousand eight hundred and ten the place was uninhabitable, despite having made arrangements, despite many beautiful things that had been done to it. It was uninhabitable because of all the paranormal problems that there was the constant going out and coming at night, especially if they were clear nights, the appearance of Marion de la bruge, but there was also the soldier of the tower. For years, a man dressed in what would appear to be a soldier' s suit, has debunked the tower.

31:26 There was also the tall woman. This one is not well known who may have been one of so many victims of the castle, but for years it has been seen. She is a woman dressed in a kind of hood, in a kind of high suit that you can see her long white hair, she is very tall to her and walks from one side to the other on corridors that no longer exist, on floors that no longer exist. You can see him wandering around. It' s a sign of something serious that' s going to happen. Let me tell you that it' s not something that just and every time you see this ghost, it' s that something serious is going to happen in England from accidents, storms, bombing attacks.

32:09 He' s been here a long time, and then there' s another one. He' s a soldier who says the night of the attack was in a tavern in the village. Knowing that there was an attack on the castle, he armed himself and ran in that direction, but failed to reach it. He was killed at the foot of the castle and for a long time before he has seen him run from the tavern or the place where the tavern was once in the direction of the castle and is lost shortly before arriving. There are witnesses who have seen him for hundreds of years. It is not frequent, not only happens sometimes, but the main ghost is that of Lady Marion, who is heard suddenly, screaming, crying, walking between walls, between floors and in places where you can no longer be. A love story turned into a ghost story and, of course, this place has been visited for many years in modern times by ghost hunters. Right there they have been able to include all kinds of recordings, strange photographs that reveal shadows that were not there at the time and some witnesses claim to have been touched, boasted or feel a cold wind in the middle of a totally quiet night.

33:31 What would you think. The peculiar characteristic of both castles that I have described to you on this occasion is that they are both very old, They have been empty for a long time and, however, the apparitions, which are almost as old as the castles themselves, are still there that phenomenon that is considered residual, although there are those who claim that it is not so, but that they are phenomena that were trapped and that they were added with other presences of that of the other victims, of other people who lost their lives, who were tortured, that they were joining in a kind of marism of spiritual entities that are held in place. It' s hard to tell, but these kinds of appearances are quite common in England. Now, it is said that England is the land of ghosts and castles, but in reality it also happens elsewhere, as we have seen in Slovenia and now let me take it to Spain. We go to the province of Huesca, Aragon, where the castle of Loarre is located. This place has a strange story behind it.

34:52 To begin with, it is one of the fortifications that at the same time was a monastery fortification and so was something very serious. It was built at the time of King Sancho Iro, in the time of the Spanish reconquest. This was the last point from which you could see the territory still in Arab hands the Andalusian, which was Arab territory. This was a fortress that, like the Ludlow fortress, was a border fortress in a place of great risk and close to the coast. It was a place where there could be great dangers. Getting here could mean death, because if you neglected, they would catch you and torture you and kill you. But at the same time it was an important trade route and very close. Large salt mines were found, so it was really important. For centuries he resisted attacks of all kinds.

35:51 But to say centuries is that even in recent times it was also the twentieth century. It was a fighting scene. It is in which preferably preserved inside the castle of this fortress you can still appreciate frescoes, you can visit, the place is complete. It is considered one of the best castles in Europe, but has an interesting history. Let us begin because the first moments in what this place was occupied was in the third century C E was a Roman settlement. Before that, this was an Iberian settlement. So it' s an area that' s been occupied for 2, 000 years. It seems good to you when the Romans arrive, they discover this mound in the middle of this point that allows you to see all the plains and say here is this is the perfect place and they build a fortification there. Later, when the Romans withdrew, this place would begin to be occupied by different tribes even by Arabs, who arrived from the African coast and began to occupy it for later, during the reconquest in this place, so to expel the Arabs, to liberate from what was there a fortress is built and at the foot of it a village. The place was preserved despite the attacks could never really destroy it and was passed over. Sometimes it was someone' s, sometimes it was someone' s. There was a time when he was from the church itself, he was a kind of abbey. Then it was owned by

37:23 others and so on, it was never taken. Let me tell you that the fortress of the re was never taken. The difference of the vast majority of castles, this castle was never violated. He stoically resisted all attacks. It' s a formidable structure. To this day it remains formidable in many respects and meets an unparalleled resistance, but it has its history as well, and its history is just as interesting, because the castle has its ghosts. This fortress was also assigned as a kind of religious abbey in the 15th century and it is said that a romantic couple arrived at this place. It was nothing more or less than a rapist. Luna violante was a woman, a woman who had become a nun and was the pope' s niece. The problem is that he arrived with his cousin also named Luna, who was a soldier and was his lover. Both had maintained a torrid romance that had become a scandal that was affecting the Pope' s own reputation, who ordered that this woman be transferred to Loarrey' s castle, where she would remain only so that she would not be near her cousin. But the cousin arrived and entered the castle and those became a thirst It became one because besides the castle

38:55 went to make came troops surrounded the castle. These people were in there chasing this cousin Luna because he had done something or was in combat with someone. The matter is that for a long time the castle was surrounded. They couldn ' t take a thousand four hundred and thirteen. Finally Moon escapes somewhere, leaving rapists in there who are captured. She is later told to be transferred to a prison where, through the pope' s intercession, she finally leaves free, but is condemned to be in captivity and dies away from the castle of loarre. Since his death, in the castle he has been seen to wander dressed in his habit of nun from one side to the other, going and coming the Why? Because the castle was the place where he had lived the best moments of his life, of passion of all that dies elsewhere locked up. She was not a prisoner of her adversaries, but rather a prisoner of the church itself which punished her and was reportedly excommunicated by the Pope himself because of the scandal that had broken out. And excommunicated, she was condemned to wander forever among the walls of the castle for years. The people who walk around, those who have worked in maintenance, the people who have guarded the building, have heard those laments and have seen the image, especially on

40:30 certain moon nights through the empty windows of all these structures, where the moonlight enters you can see the figure of the nun pass. Everyone knows he' s a rapist. Moon that returned after death to the place where she was happy, but she is not the only one. These buildings have that characteristic that they attract, like, people to stay here. People who died there, people who had something to do with this place, come back after death. And this building, in particular, according to several testimonies, has chilling things. For example, the tower of the hangers. The tower of the hangers is a place where you hear panting. The name says the whole tower of the hangers. In this place, as mentioned, you hear when people were hanging. They are strange voices, they are voices that can be felt with anguish, with horror. There are also those rare snoring voices of men who give orders and get lost between the walls, but perhaps the rarest part of all are choirs. Yes, at some point it was also a kind of abbey or monastery and choirs are still being heard. The problem is, he stopped being one two or three hundred years ago. I don' t know exactly, but they keep listening. As night falls this quiet place,

42:01 this huge fortress is filled with strange sounds and rare figures. For example, there is the white lady, the one who wanders elsewhere in the castle and who is definitely not a violation of the moon, but one does not know who she is is another of so many presences. Then there is that of the tower, where you can see a man in armor and you can distinguish to a certain extent, it is no longer clear. It looks a little greyish as transparent, but you can distinguish someone who wears something like a layer a kind of armor, something for years has been seen over the years, when this region ceased to be a prosperous area, many of the villagers moved to the new city and left there. This lonely thing hasn' t collapsed.

42:51 It is still a formidable castle, but its inhabitants are still there and at certain hours of the night. Those who work in the sea, in the retouching of the murals, that there are beautiful murals, have once taken a clear scare. Not all of them. You know perfectly well that when you talk about the paranormal, there is a difference in that not all people are sensitive, but those who are a little more perceptive take very unpleasant surprises in this place. Believe me, you can feel the presence of those who lived there six hundred years ago. Now let me tell you about another beautiful place. In Etorriana, on the coast of the Italian Adriatic, very close to the coast, is the castle of Montebello. Montebello Castle, in fact, the name does not mean Monte Bonito, but the Monte de la Guerra.

44:01 That translates somewhat like mons Belli or mons Bellee the Mount of War, because in this place there is a castle that was a fortress. It is located four hundred and a peak of meters above sea level, which already down and from this place you can see to the coast. It' s an impressive thing. The landscape as it opens to the feet is beautiful and was not a great fortress. In fact, it was a rather small castle, but by its position, the way it was built was an impregnable structure. Anyone who tried to take this place would face a high point for shooting, with arrow, with bow, with traps, with everything you can imagine.

44:45 It was an impregnable redoubt, so impregnable that for a long time the castle was never taken as such. If I' m right, it dates back to the 12th century, one thousand and one hundred and fifty, and it was being modified and configured to what we see today. However, this fortress resisted everything you can imagine, even bombs during World War II. The enclave was a fortress in which there were also troops, both Italian and Nazi. So he was attacked and bombed. It took his time to restore it and make it beautiful again. But it has a long history. Besides that, he has a very peculiar ghost. There' s a beautiful story. He will see in the year of one thousand three hundred and seventy, about.

45:39 That is, about seven hundred and seventy years ago. This place was in the hands of the Malatesta family. The Malatestas and the Montefeltro family held a huge rivalry and for a long time, this rivalry carried that castle case. The castle of Montebello passed from one hand to another treacherous attacks suddenly captured one of the lords of Mala Testa and the castle was handed over to the Montefeltros and so on. The matter is that in that year of one thousand three hundred and seventy, approximately part of the Malatesta family lives in the castle.

46:21 It is a hugolinucho mala testa and Constance his wife, who celebrate with joy the pregnancy that she carries with her. But when the creature is born, there is a huge gloom. She' s a girl, she' s a beautiful albino girl, according to legend. When the creature was born, they immediately did not realize it, but soon after they began to notice that it was extraordinarily white and the hair was extraordinarily white. The eyes were incredibly light blue. They began to feel fear because, according to tradition, albinos children were of bad luck and were considered to be some kind of little demons.

47:14 It was a very absurd tradition, I do understand, but it was a tradition that was in force at that time and fear began. The girl had to take the risk of living, because if the people of the village got up the one that weeded or there would be, who would simply consider her a danger for being a demon and kill her. That was a nightmare for both Constance and Hugo Linucho, who decided that the girl would never leave the castle. She had her white blond hair, a Malvin person, her eyebrows were white, her eyes were of a strange blue and she was all white, so one day they had the happy idea that, in order to take her to church mass, they would paint her hair. Someone had told them that it could be dyed with a series of herbs and substances, it could be dyed and passed by as a normal child. You' d just have to do some hairstyle and I' d go through a normal girl and I could go to church and I could go with them and go. It was a moment of great joy. According to legend. They quickly brought in that person who dyed her hair, but it obviously didn' t work out very well. Within a few days the color began to change, becoming a blue color, and then the girl was left with blue hair. And if

48:46 it was to go unnoticed, now more than ever it was clear that this child was different. Constance and her husband chose not to leave the castle. If he were to go out into the castle' s own courtyard and guarded, two Dominican and Rullero guards were hired, who would guard the girl day and night. They would always have to be with her for no reason, turning aside in anticipation that nothing would happen to her for God. At that time, the creature would be about five or six years old and, according to it, was a playful and cheerful girl until one day, a summer solstice, twenty- first of June of one thousand three hundred seventy- five, the girl finds herself playing with a ball of thread. That' s what a ball was used to. The lamb' s wig served as a ball and the girl is playing while her two guards guard her. When suddenly I run linucho speaks to them for some instruction, they withdraw for a moment they turn to talk to him, but when they look back there is no longer the girl who had been affectionately called Surina by her hair, this little girl that some call Adelina gandolina. The people of the village called him Azurina and his guards spoke politely and with joy called him Azurina because of the blue hair. But Surina' s gone. The search warrant is immediately given.

50:19 All the guards of the castle, all the soldiers of the Malatesta lords, the people of the village arm themselves and begin to trace thoroughly everywhere. The little ball, the little toy. That' s right there. The big gates, the big doors are locked. It' s an impregnable castle, but the girl was never found. A body was never found. The clothes were never found. Nothing was ever found. He was completely gone. Of course, the Malatesta began to suffer what they could not imagine and finally lost the castle to the Montefeltros. And finally the castle, over many years, was sold to a family that so far has it. The Giddi family, which to date holds the castle in its possession and has given it a great maintenance of the castle. After World War II, which was damaged by the bombings, it was rebuilt and is a beautiful place, except that there are two or three things to know. It' s a haunted castle, that simple and haunted so haunted that every five years. On the 21st of June, during the night you can see the ghost of azurina. Legend says that every five years, on the 21st of June, at night, you can see this creature and hear it all of a sudden In the middle of the night, a quiet night, you hear the noises of someone who plays there.

51:52 In the courtyards, you can hear the laughter of the girl running from one side to the other and, at a certain point, if the moon gives in that place, you can see the girl running here and there and blur only every five years. But besides that, there are other things. Come on It' s not just asurine on the spot. There are another series of strange phenomena. When in nine hundred and ninety began to open the doors so that some person could enter tourism and paranormal research began to appear very rare things in the nineties. The first recordings, which were basically psychophonic recordings, recorded at the time of one thousand nine hundred and ninety, on the twenty- first of June, the laughter of children or at least one creature, voices, beatings, wagons, things that were recorded over time. In ninety- five that was repeated and so on. But that' s not the end of the story. In the year two thousand and twelve a film was released. The film is a movie of already as franchising franchiso decided to record the story of Asurina in a film. And this movie premiered in the two thousand twelve, it' s a mystery and terror movie, one thing I haven' t had a chance to see but the review says it' s a good movie. The interesting thing about the subject is that the film was recorded in the two thousand ten and the theme is precisely the story of

53:27 the girl, of the girl who disappeared in this place and knows what was recorded in this place, in the castle of Montivello itself. In there it was recorded and, of course, during the shooting there were all kinds of problems since it was going to light. Things fell, objects moved, shadows appeared that no one knew where they came from. Suddenly pop to why they recorded in June two thousand ten, five years and it was their turn to record on June twenty- one. So, obviously, they witnessed Asurina and clear when the skeptics of the Science Association arrived. I don' t know what. They didn' t record anything. Maybe they got the wrong day.

54:15 Maybe that day she didn' t go to Gasurina, but for a long time people wait anxiously that day because it' s the visit of the girl they say she' s not dead. He' s not a ghost. It simply opened a portal in one place, the girl crossed and disappeared, but every five years that portal allows her to come back and play, as if you were there what you would think. It is a very rare story, certainly, but charming and castle as such, although it is not a huge castle like Lut Low or impressive as the castle in Slomenia, it is a beautiful castle. To date it is still a charming place and with many mysteries because again and as in the case of Slovenia, guess who was there? If you don' t know what the energy is, well, over there we have a video on the channel that talks about it. It was a Nazi group during World War II. Which, in theory, sought the Aryan origin of the German people themselves. But on top of that, he was looking for such disparate things as the longino spear, the spear of power, the ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail and, of course, the portal that had allowed Suriname to escape into another dimension. It can be just a clear myth. Of course, crazy things have always been said,

55:46 but the place keeps its secrets. Now and to close the program of I to tell you about the vampire castle, ah yes is another castle of those phenomenal, another border fortress is located in England, in the North Humberland region, and is the castle of Alnwick. This castle, in addition to being a border fortress in the wars against Scotland, also became a truly spectacular place for a very crazy story. Legend has it that in the 12th century a man had suspicions that his wife was cheating him, so he climbed outside the castle by the thick ones, walloner the battlements and so on by a roof to be able to spy through a window in the castle. However, and for his bad luck, the subject that he slipped, fell, hit and finally fell to the dead pasture without being able to know if his wife was faithful to him or not. According to the story. After that, the subject was taken to the cemetery that was in the back and buried.

57:09 But after he was buried, strange things began to happen. They began to see him wandering certain nights in the village and in the castle itself to the amazement of all the guards. One night those guards who were standing around with their armor, their helmets, their spears, saw the dead pass by walking in the direction of the woman' s bedroom. Days later, the woman became seriously ill and died. But that' s not all. Animals from nearby farms were also dying from the castle' s own cattle stock and some guards, who also died in rare ways, had no obvious injuries, but had no blood either. And then in the village. So there were attacks, too, but people saw it that guy. They knew who he was.

58:04 They knew he was dead. So, one good day they went there to look for him. In the cemetery, in broad daylight, they removed the land, took out the box and found the body of this perfectly preserved guy, not even swollen even green. It had been weeks and weeks since he was buried, and the subject was intact with a blood thin. They cut off his head, of course, and began to shed blood everywhere. Then they decided to burn it and reduce it to ashes and scatter its ashes, so the problem disappeared, except that the castle kept the legend of a vampire who had been there. To date, the castle remains the home of the Percy Persides of one thousand three hundred and nine. Imagine you were the owners of this castle. The 12th Earl of North Thunderland is now in place.

59:02 So it' s a castle with a crazy story, just to say goodbye this Saturday night, very good night and rest in peace let' s go, Don
