Castillos embrujados || Relatos del lado oscuro (Podcast)

0:00 The list of haunted castles full of stories is very long. Tales of the dark side for strange beings event is inexplicable stories that other minds prefer ignorant. There is a very interesting history of World War II and it has much to do with vera ghosts for the investment of Normandy. Allied armies advance over French territory. As German armies cede territory, but the terrain is not entirely easy.

0:57 There are hundreds of small kets, small trees surrounding plots that are literally a death trap. Crossing one of these kets on the other side you can see from explosive mines, machine guns tanks. Whatever the scenario was, it required enormous wear and tear from the soldiers, and obviously, there were few places to rest the war after it had left villages devastated in ruins completely and with very great risks of finding buried explosives, snipers and other threats. Hence, the soldiers preferred to rest in a simple hole, in a canal or under a bridge, to run the risk of getting into some house in those villages and finding death. But also, of course, some ancient ruin was very well received. A whole squad could stay to make a bonfire and the thick walls wouldn' t mind once again covering those tired men, in addition to being secluded and solitary constructions. Often these had not been used by the Nazis, which was why, after long walks, they used to look for an ancient convent, ruins of a castle, anything to stay in. There ' s a place there. You know, there' s a place known

2:30 as Mortemer. It' s an old abbey. It is located in the perhaps most pleasant region of France, one of those beautiful places, which is the Lyon Lafore region, a spectacular site. When allied soldiers arrive at this place, it certainly seems to have been an idyllic moment. Only there were cannons placed machine guns barbed wire, many things of that style that did not give much space to the contemplation of tranquility, so the advance was quick. There were numerous casualties, especially in a small area near the castle or the abbey of Mortemer. Where they found strong resistance from the enemy. In this little forest where the trees close very tightly, snipers wreaked havoc among American troops until they finally ended the resistance. After long hours of sustained combat and endless walks, American soldiers are or are allowed to take a recess and rest a few hours that night the ideal place, Mortemer Abbey why not semi- damaged.

3:46 Long halls of that old abbey are destroyed when the Americans arrive. In addition to this, the only inhabitant or caregiver had disappeared to the gno a few days earlier precisely because of the fear of the American invasion and all the rumors that had been under it, a small cava owned by one of the multiple owners, so the soldiers feel fortunate. They find those basements, very cozy, completely hidden where they can make a bonfire without risk of getting a gun or shooting a sniper. Beyond, they also find other rooms still usable and then the caretaker' s house, nice, warm with a huge fireplace integrated into the abbey. The abbey, of course, was not a new place, much less, it was one of those very old constructions, very very old, perhaps built in the 13th century by one of those strange characters, William, the conqueror, who in turn would have given Henry in Buclerk, his son abbey to finish it, so it was a long- term construction. The thick walls gave an idea of the antiquity, but certainly little did this matter to the tired soldiers, who enjoyed a moment of conversation owing

5:18 to some of the bottles in the old cava, basically distracting themselves from the heat of battle. A little later, by nightfall completely the rooms that had been occupied by these soldiers, or at least the part of the basement, traditionally cold and gloomy, had turned out to be a pleasant place. By lighting a bonfire near a small breathing harness, you could be very well. In addition to this, heating some food had been encouraging for those men who I repeat had seen death very closely. The hours passed. Finally, the weariness ended up bending those talkative soldiers who, in the midst of this security provided by the old abbey, felt at home again confident. They joked, took big sips of that wine and even someone made coffee, which is why they were very comfortable. Little by little they fell asleep, except the sentries placed on the outskirts of the abbey and on the top of one of the bell towers of the also ruined church, a risky and very dangerous site, but finally the site with better observation of all places. Several soldiers remained in those positions, while the rest of the detachment rested inside. Hours pass and eleven o' clock at night. The night is quiet, calm sky,

6:54 pleasant clear. There' s a penetrating silence. Voices of France for the time of the Second World War no longer have virtually any wildlife, so there is absolute silence far away, in the distance, many kilometers, perhaps hundreds of kilometers, you can see the fulgors, the radiances, the cannons that explode, the shootings and the battle at some point in the French territory where the combat continues at night. On this side, it' s all silence. The Nazi troops had left the site for some time and had given the land to the Americans, returning their steps to Berlin, which is why the site is pleasantly peaceful. The people of the nearby villa in the Lyons Leffory area have left the houses as well and some begin to return, but are a couple of miles away. The old abbey of Mortemer is at an absolutely lonely point for those who use contemplation and tranquility. It is an ideal hard place of those walls, a beautiful sky, penetrating silence, silence. The matter is that those men begin to rest peacefully. There is overwhelming silence on the outside of Mortemer' s old abbey. It' s a small hillside.

8:26 You know the paved road all very well, only at eleven o' clock at night something doesn' t start to work well. When you begin to hear noises, strange noises coming from the abbey itself. In some regions of this abbey, the old roofs that were still standing begin to let footsteps be heard, steps of someone walking. But not only that. You can also hear a few other weird things, from strange blows, banging on the walls, as if someone were inside a room and hitting hard at the door.

9:15 But in this case the door is the walls. The noise causes the officers, the soldiers on duty to start searching for origin and even ask the sergeant for a little support, since they presume there may be someone trapped. They do not know whether it is an enemy or not, but the noises become very intense to the point where they begin to create a certain nervousness. The soldier who is in the part of the old bell tower, in the upper part, reports nothing, observes nothing, decides finally to descend from that place, because he also begins to hear blows and noises just below him, which causes him a feeling of enormous restlessness outside. Permanent silence is one of the quietest things there can be, but inside the building the noises happen to each other, to the point where finally the sound becomes perfectly distinguishable. It ' s a woman' s cry, a tearing cry from a female throat that tears the air of that night, many of the soldiers stand up, look for their weapons and get ready to see what it' s all about.

10:33 But nothing is found, patrols are started in different directions, with the traditional password, with the traditional password or safe conduct of lightning and thunder, but they find no one. They' re around the building trying to find out which woman was the one who screamed. If it' s a woman in trouble, maybe she' s been trapped there and trying to run away from the Nazis or if it' s a thorn in her mind. They comb the area meticulously, but as the minutes pass and it approaches midnight, the situation becomes more disturbing, as they even see a woman walking well, walking without saying as she does. Reported one of the guard lines had seen a woman dressed in white cross in front of him in the area of the old entrance to the gate, the gate of the Abbey having seen pass this woman dressed in white, levitating there were no feet, there were no faces, simply a female figure advancing with a kind of veil, sliding quietly in front of her eyes, attacked with a crisis of nerves, boasting that it was a fatal fairy, that is, a omen of her own death.

11:52 That guard cape had to be contained by his companions so that he would not run away from the place. Minutes later, another officer of the detachment itself would burst into a nervous breakdown when he would hear the blows just behind him on a completely closed wall. When he tried to check, he came across the appearance of the white lady again next to him, in an attitude of asking for something, that soldier would have run out of the place and again end up in the nearby grove, trembling cold with some of his companions who had experienced an incredible feeling of fear and particularly anguish. At about three in the morning, some soldiers who had remained inside the abbey, the former abbey of Mortemer continued to try to find out where the noises came from. Several of them began to make a tour, combing the building between what is called the old pigeon, a high part on a terrace where everyone can still see the small drawers of the pigeons. The earlier use of Mortemer Abbey had a pigeon farm for the consumption of the abbey itself left some of these small holes and others soldiers began to make this tour. But something happens, because well, being in the Palomar, they began to experience a nervous breakdown, several

13:26 of them and to feel a deep anguish. One of them claimed that he felt he was dying. They had to descend quickly from the site and, in the midst of an extreme nervous situation, be contained and receive injections of morphine, from which it is used to control the pain, to appease them a little, since a feeling of anguish had been generated that bordered on the unbearable when one of the nurses asked well, but what it is they did not know how to say. None of them had any particular reason for those distresses, except, of course, the fact of watching the next one die in the battle of the previous morning. Other than that, they didn' t understand what it was about. It was attributed to a post- traumatic stress crisis and stuff like that. The morphine helped, but finally the soldiers did not find the rest they wanted. They left the building with the first rays of the sun to start a long walk in the direction of another battle front. Weeks later, another group of soldiers, equally American, would cross that place and again choose Mortemer Abbey as a resting place. I told you that the place was attractive, charming, wide walls, thick dry interior, there was no moisture at all. So they come back to the abbey, get in, set up campfires, a very pleasant atmosphere until eleven o'

14:58 clock in the night, when they hear again the blows on the walls, scratches, inexplicable noises and the woman' s scream. At that point of new account, the soldiers even opened two very curious reports handed over to one of the colonels, where he pointed out the Abbey of Mortemer as a strange place. Ghosts were not mentioned, but within one of the parties mentioned the presence of a well- identified woman, dressed in white and not pointing out the fact that she had no feet, but later they would tell a British reporter about this. What I had lived in there. The fact is that the second group of soldiers lived the same fate. They had to leave the abbey around 3 a m, when the situation became unsustainable due to the continuing siege of ghosts. At that point. In addition, the presence of white male figures was reported, at least from the part where the soldiers were, at the bottom, to the top where the dovecote was doing a kind of procession. The image must have been so shocking because the soldiers fired at that time in the morning and started the walk they had to take until the next day because they couldn' t stand the attention of being in that place.

16:25 And well, Mortemer Abbey has a long history. As I was saying, it was built in the 12th century. It was the scene of many intrigues. Not that it was a place of perdition, much less an abbey. It was a monastic site, but it was controlled by vicious, cruel and violent monarchs who used these kinds of institutions and places for their personal interests, even as places of punishment for rebellious sons or daughters, to hide a favorite lover and that simply the queen did not find out or otherwise, to hide and detain a lover who was no longer wanted and even to kill her.

17:11 The interior of these places and their very thick walls were ideal places to hide someone' s body and, in fact, so would the famous White Lady. She would be no more or less maimed by a young woman of the nobility, who would have been condemned to be imperious on the walls of Mortemer ' s abbey by her own father, who apparently felt aggrieved by her daughter ' s unscathed conduct and for not having accepted the marriage engagement with a nobleman who was not to her liking. Matilde was sent to Mortemer, locked in a small cell with callicanto until he died of hunger for thirst for what was casually in place where the soldiers reported hearing that noise. But Matilde wasn' t the only one to lose her life inside Mortemer. Years after that, already during the French Revolution, Mortemer was practically abandoned, giving four people inside four monks who were the ones who kept the old abbey and well, remained contemplative. The fact is that the revolutionaries hear that there are four men up there in a castle and in the ignorance of those people presume that they are wealthy nobles, who inhabit a luxurious castle and not totally ruined monks and whose only fortune was some wine barrels that were in the basement. Yeah, in

18:47 that nice, warm basement where American soldiers would go two hundred years later. The matter is that the revolutionaries arrive and when they find no surprising resource or jewelry, far from it, they kill the monks precisely in the basement. Yeah, right there angry that they didn' t find the riches they were looking for, they destroyed the wine barrels. That is why it was said that in the basement, when it smells of wine, it is necessary to leave, because that is when the monks appear, whose blood was mixed with the wine from the barrels of that place and then, well, the other stories that are given there are many. The last of the caretakers in charge of Mortemer Abbey left the place in a thousand nine hundred and sixty- five when he could no longer endure the stalking of the ghosts of Mortemer to the point where he preferred to remain unemployed to continue there taking care of that place that was considered perhaps one of the most enchanted places in all of France.

19:52 Mortemer' s story isn' t that strange. In other parts of the world there are similar events. What is interesting is the large number of witnesses who have witnessed sense or in some way witnessed the ghostly phenomena of this place. Stories that are there. Another of these places is unique is a spectacular place. It is a very old castle of one thousand three hundred and fifty. Imagine if well it was built a little earlier, about one thousand two hundred seventy, in an equally remote place. The idea of this castle was that of a fortress where to take refuge in the event of invasions in Brittany, which was being besieged by all sorts of tribes. This place turned out to be a huge construction, very abundant, so to speak, thick walls with a huge moat and a lake around. During certain periods of the year, Betley or Bedly, as he is known, remains covered with dense haze of very thick haze. There are several kets around, little groves, which prevented the inhabitants of Betly from traveling to other cities when the weather did not allow it. Mist became so dense at some times of the year that road

21:26 robbers waited standing on the roads waiting for someone in the mist to try to get past it and kill it. Betly' s road was known as one of the most dangerous sites there was. Contrary to the idea that it was a place of refuge in the event of an invasion, Betly turned out to be a very dangerous place, a place where many people lost their lives and their bodies were thrown into the lake near the castle, so that there was no evidence of the crime and so there were no groups of soldiers chasing the highway robbers. The castle as such continued to be occupied in different periods of time, but throughout this time there were narratives about ghostly visions. Yes, one of Betly' s most well- known appearances is that of so- called Father Cameron, a priest who would have died in the waters of the lake while attempting to cross a boat to avoid using the Betly road, which was full of robbers during the transport along the lake, the boat in which he was trying to cross would have been gloomy and Father Cameron would have died.

22:45 However, his ghost would often continue to be seen coming out of the waters and arriving at the castle, but not just his. Not during the following centuries, n o n o nso of stories about ghostly apparitions was phenomenal. Many walkers who went to the Betly area in the later centuries, when the situation was already more passable and there were fewer skippers, experienced terrifying experiences as they were accompanied along the way by ghost walkers. Yes, even during the day, in the midst of the mist that covers these places, many people reported having heard someone' s footsteps by their side as they tried to ask who they were or what they wanted. They were faced with the absolute void. There was no one, but some others were not so lucky and could see in the mist the ghostly vision of some person walking. One of Betly' s perhaps most remembered events was in one thousand six hundred and eighty, when a group of walkers, a group of people from the nearest position to Betlay, ran into another group of people, but they were not alive.

24:07 It was a ghostly vision of several persons as a whole who suddenly realized that they were literally surrounded by spectra whose appearances could not be clearly defined in the midst of the mist, but that they turned out to be completely alien to the time in which they were living and were strange faces, absent, looks, lost, knights and ladies whose feet could not be distinguished very well in the midst of that mist, which generated a new wave of panic around Betly that, in case something was missing between Father Cameron' s appearances and the appearances of the road, little by little was falling into disuse and, unfortunately, the castle was successively sold to other families, because those Ruin tried to occupy were facing the road itself and the castle itself with the appearance of Father Cameron, who was accustomed to leave wet, if trodden, wet footprints on the castle floors, from the bottom, at the entrance to the rooms on the upper floor, where it was supposed that Father Cameron had his quarters near the main chamber of the noble who was in charge of the castle.

25:27 Back then. Successive apparitions were also violent, as Father Cameron' s vision was not a pleasant vision. He used to see that damp figure coming out of the waters, dragging the rough habit, leaving traces behind, but at the time of trying to ask something, just turning around to see it the vision simply faded away. On other occasions, the serfdom reported having seen him, crossing through the walls and going out into nowhere as he disappeared completely, which generated real panic along with the walkers' accounts about the ghostly apparitions on the way to Betly, the site became very difficult to inhabit. So successively, families who arrived and bought the properties preferred to occupy the simple houses, the most recent constructions that were outside the forest area, away from the fog, so the castle was falling into disuse and gradually deteriorating. But Betley wasn ' t abandoned. He continued to see some people who cared for the castle and who, knowing Father Cameron' s adventures, simply chose to lock themselves in the quiet rooms of the castle, that is, three rooms in the back, while the rest of the castle had to be alone, since no one wanted to face that ghostly vision and many others, since there was even

27:00 one who claimed to have seen an elderly lady and entry in kilos. It was supposed to have been a housekeeper who would have died in the castle, precisely from the advanced age of natural death, but who would have stayed there. On other occasions a coachman has been seen arriving. The coachman descends from nothing, as the carriage is not observed, but can be distinguished in the middle of silence or the afternoons of Betly isolated from the rest of the world. The noise of the helmets of horses that are not seen, the noise of cart wheels that hit the stones of the road, but that never arrives. And finally, the appearance of a long slender subject. It is supposed to have been one of the many horsemen who were killed on the way to Bethly for a thousand nine hundred and seventy. The last family to buy the property resorted this simple yet exorno to try to put an end to these apparitions.

28:06 The exorcist as such repeatedly tried, along with several fellow professionals, to expel those presences or send them to eternal rest or as you wish to call them. But the efforts were not very productive, as Beatly continued to live the same paranormal phenomena past the blissful exorcism and efforts to end the matter. The castle was finally sold again because the family who bought it could never occupy it. So the property was bought no more or less than by a family of antique dealers, people specializing in ancient objects, ancient constructions and so on, who casually lived Father Cameron' s visit on many occasions and knowing the stories about Bedry' s old road, used the back road, built in the 1930s and surrounding the property from the back, uniting several towns and remaining a few meters from Betly Castle. Currently Betly is surrounded by several modern buildings and the old property has ceased to be the silent and remote haunted construction to become a place surrounded by new constructions with the passage of a busy road of few meters. And yet, Father Cameron is still seen in the evenings of dense fog. He comes back out of the waters and makes his usual way.

29:40 The castle is not completely inhabited. Eventually, this group of antique dealers returns to the property, spends a few days and then leaves the site. The only people left in charge of the castle are the caretaker, two gardeners and a housekeeper, who live in a house built to us outside the castle, since inside very hardly anyone supports the different ghostly appearances that up to this point have been reluctant to leave the castle and go to eternal life. As such, despite the exorcist efforts, healers, good ghost hunters and any number of people who have gone to Bedly to see if they can help in anything yet, Father Cameron remains the same old ghost fool who comes back from time to time to dirty with wet footprints, the polished, wood floors of Betli.

30:45 And well, since we' re talking about haunted places, there' s a castle where that horror tale thing really applies. It' s Hermitage Castle. This castle was built in one thousand two hundred forty- two. Since you an idea a long time ago, more than seven hundred years it was built. But as such, the site began to have paranormal problems very early on. In a thousand three hundred forty- two, about a hundred years later, there occurred the death of a rather feared subject, Sir Alexander Ramsey, who was the Sheriff of Tibio Dell In those years, this subject, Alexander Rama Ramsey, was caught so to speak, no less than by the owner of the castle, a certain doglas who had bought the property and who, having a rivalry with the Sheriff of Tibio, decided to take his life. But not to get your hands dirty, an issue that was important at the time. If he killed him by his own hand, cut off his head or made him ar, he would be guilty of murder. To avoid that, he locks him in one of the castle towers, where Alexander rammey Ramsey dies of starvation, literally starves to death. A few years later,

32:17 the castle of Hermitage begins to be visited by a ghostly silhouette, of sad appearance, famous, completely dulled and with torn clothes. He was clearly identified with the Sheriff of Tibiote. Since about one thousand three hundred and forty - eight, the ghost of Alexander Ramsey has continued to visit the castle and many people have had the opportunity to see this apparition or to suffer it in some way, as the apparition is not pleasant. In fact, she is a terrifying figure with her eyes practically out of orbit, her face together, a disembodied silhouette, literally that of ambula dragging her feet and causing a very unpleasant noise. Similar to nail dragging. It is said that when Alexander Ramsey was taken out of the tower where he had been locked, he had torn pieces out of the door trying to scratch it to open it in his despair, for which he had torn his nails and with the bones he had tried to tear the noise. They assure you are still listening even today. But he' s not the only ghost in Hermitage Castle. No. In fact, this is one of many. Another one that also runs along the castle is said to be the ghost of Lord Zullis. Zollis turned out to be

33:50 a terrible man, a cruel man, an extremely dangerous and depraved subject. Zullis used to kidnap children from neighboring villages for acts of black magic. Obviously, this included the torture and execution of children from various neighbouring populations, where they began to notice the mysterious disappearance of children. And at the same time, there were those who claimed to have heard screams inside the castle of Germitas, owned by Lord Zullis, which is why the villagers finally stand up in arms, catch Lord Zullis, judge him and lynch him. Yeah, they lynch him, they burn him. I live well, they make horrors because this man had truly wreaked havoc among the population. Lord Zullis' ghost is still there. He' s not gone, but not just him. One of the most rugged scenes anyone can live within the paranormal phenomenon is inside Hermitage Castle, as on certain nights, you can hear the crying and screaming of the children. Yes, the people who lived it and who have lived it assure that it is one of the most violent moments that can be lived when, amid the silence of the night, in the solitude of that castle, the thick walls that flow from the outside world begin to release little by little.

35:22 First as if they were small, murmurs, laughs, games, you can hear the sound of children playing and then give way to complaints, laments and tearful screams of children. Few have managed to bear it. Even about a thousand nine hundred and twenty, a departure of researchers from the Society of Psychic Research in London would intervene at the castle of Germites to try to find out how true that was. Inside the result they couldn' t stand the night. They left the place declaring that the site was indeed delighted after not being able to find the origin of the screams. Interestingly, these cries increase dramatically when the appearance of the ghost of Lord Zullis also occurs, who frequents several rooms of the castle in which the acts of black magic are said to be so, but also the area of the chapel. The old castle of Germitas has a small chapel inside it and it is said that the ghost of Lord Zullis regularly comes to ask forgiveness for the crimes committed, since he never found eternal rest and therefore continues to beg forgiveness so that his soul can depart, which is unlikely, because no one has established contact and the appearance as such turns out to be extremely apathetic and, in fact, it is usually a very quick vision, very fleeting, but which results in the screams becoming

36:57 deafening, particularly in those rooms located towards the ground floor, in the basement, where it is said that he practiced the rites of black magic and murdered children. But yes, this wasn' t all. There is also another spirit, yes, of a subject known as Red Capsly. This guy is said to be a horrible old man with the deformed teeth similar to the fangs of a vampire who used to wear iron boots and a strange red cap. From there the name Red Capsly according to tradition, this subject Sly assaulted the travelers at night, murdered them, took their belongings and then took the blood from their bodies, filling that kind of cap he used made of leather to bring the blood to his master Lord Zulli, Red Capsly would also be killed precisely when Sully the lynched by the people. Both find death at the same time and both become ghostly appearances of this place. For centuries the presence of Red Cap Sly has been reported in the area of the tower and in the area of the basement part, where acts of black magic are said to have been performed. This sinister character, who cannot be certain that it has existed, as it is practically a legend, has also been reported on many occasions.

38:30 But perhaps the phenomenon that has impressed the people who have witnessed him most and which has caused them to come out of the place in stampede, is that of the children' s screams. They don' t explain where they come from. Suddenly they begin to grow to the point of becoming literally unbearable have caused people to flee. Hermitage has not been inhabited for many years, but the time that remained a living castle, people tried since the celebration of very complicated rites, exorcisms, special blessings, nothing, nothing has worked and the castle, at least until today, remains known as a highly haunted site.

39:16 What do you think? They are enigmatic places and there are complete records of the phenomena that have occurred inside these places. In the particular case of Germitas, it is a very abundant file that not only recovers the stories of people who have seen to wander Blue and or subjectslay, but have tried to find out what is desert behind the stories of atrocities committed in the castle and to the amazement of many, it seems that they are true, since, among other things, in a part near the castle numerous skeletons of people who were apparently executed or killed, as they presented in the bones, were found.

39:58 The bones found clear were seen cut with a sword, that is, they had been crossed by a sword, which causes particular wounds to the bones, besides causing the death of the person, leaves evidence of the violence with which they were killed, being marked the territory for at least seven hundred years. Imagine, the list of haunted castles full of stories is very long. In fact, virtually every old and abandoned castle has its own ghost. They are ideal places, but what is the explanation for this good. First of all, let us bear in mind that they were places of much brutality within the most accepted theories about ghostly impregnation. This is the fact of violent situations, intense emotions that get caught in the middle of the walls and that somehow make themselves felt in people who may have a special sensitivity is not a very good explanation, since somehow there are many loose ends. Another theory is that those characters who lived a terrible death or who were left with unfinished business, either for fear of hell or for whatever reason, are trapped there. The

41:28 theories are many, but it is curious to mention why the good ancient castles, for example in the case of Hermitage, are seven hundred years of history. Few buildings live so many years, few buildings, in addition, had dungeons, places of torture, places of execution and lived key moments. Perhaps that marks the terrain as such and therefore these phantom phenomena happen, not so much by the construction itself, although there are some theories that point out that some more materials in combination with water generate peculiar magnetic fields that can alter people ' s perception. Even in England, in recent years and researchers have given themselves the task of trying to analyze how much can be real what is reported.

42:15 Taking witnesses to different buildings known or known as haunted places, they have begun to tour and question visitors to see if any of them lived a paranormal experience. Apparently, the result could be that in these old castles there are very particular conditions, such as the fact that previous windows have been covered, doors leading to other rooms of the building have been closed. But with the passage of time there remain small fissures through which wind currents cross, generating very thin but high intensity streams of air, which could generate tactile sensations such as the touch of one hand, particularly intense colds in some places, etcetera, etcetera. The explanation was very interesting, very logical, but it was very far from clarifying how different people, at different times observe a very similar figure that part of the story has not been made clear. Something was missing to clarify that for centuries people have seen the same myth, that is, that an oral tradition of talking about ghosts suggests to people and that ultimately anything is attributed to the ghost of the castle. It is possible, of course, it is possible, but there have been eyewitnesses who claim to have seen him

43:50 physically, that is, at least the appearance of something physical. Whatever the fact is, it' s hard to understand, it' s hard to explain, but it happens. And another of those buildings that has a long history is the old Tower of Bockholm. It is now terribly destroyed. It ' s an ancient construction. It is a 15th century construction of a thousand and four hundred and fraction. Buckholm Tower, as it was originally known, was home to the house, the castle of Count Pringel. Count Pringle turned out to be a sadistic, sadistic, tyrannical, violent man who sowed fear among the people around him. In fact, the Tower of Bockholm was not a pleasant place. This guy hadn' t made the slightest effort to build a home that was attractive, of course not. In fact, a place had been sought that would make it violent, even in sight, as the guy was truly fearsome and used to exert dominant pressure and violence on the rest of the people, including his own wife and children, who lived in fear of one day being killed by the father. It wasn' t weird.

45:15 He hadn' t killed a lot of people This guy, Count Pringle, had killed peasant adversaries, people who owed him money sometimes. There was a rumor out there that he had killed his mistress on duty on several occasions. In fact, and that even the death of his wife had been caused by him. It is said that even one day he locked up a wounded elder and his son for no reason. The old man had found him on the way and asking the Count of Pringal for mercy. The Count of Pringle was uncomfortable with the presence of the beggar, so he took him to the castle. When the son went out to beg for mercy, the son was also locked in the castle. When the old man' s wife comes to beg the Count of Pringle for the freedom of her husband and son, the Count also locks her up well, at least takes her to where the two men were held. It is said that when she opened the door to that cell, the woman watched the bodies of her husband and son, hung by the jaw of hooks on the ceiling, terrified. The count greatly defied. The vision of that woman, getting rid of the impression of horror. After this, the woman calmed down and quietly realized that she looked back at the count, whom she stared at and uttered a curse. The curse was basically that

46:50 the evil he had done throughout his life would fall upon him and torment him for all eternity. Then, according to legend, the count was frightened because of that curse, since from that very day on, the Count of Pringan, that heartless subject, would live besieged by horrible visions of corpses, broken, literally destroyed by those who pursued him all the time, just as he had done in life. When the Count of Pringoll died, the castle was abandoned yes, it was simply abandoned. People didn' t want to know anything about that famous Buckholm Tower. The woman the children fled the place, sold what they could and disappeared, leaving the tomb of Count Pringle in the back of the tower and abandoning everything there. Then begins to grow the black legend of the castle, since it is told that the villagers heard from noises, exvi strange from the old tower, blows, furniture, falling, objects, crawling, chains groaning, laments, well, a whole gallery of horrors, which caused for many years the Buckholm tower was neither visited nor surrounded go.

48:16 People didn' t go through there. They avoided crossing that area. But not only that. It is also said that the howlings of a pack of dogs could be heard chasing a prey and hearing the screams of a man dying being attacked by the pack, which was not uncommon. The Earl of Pringle had in his possession a certain family, a significant number of dogs, which he used to torment people, not necessarily his enemies, simply people, and he used to enjoy throwing dogs to chase a person who fought for his life. But before a pack of those huge dogs there wasn' t much to do. So that story of Baskerville' s hound has its antecedent in the Earl of Pringal Who used to do that. He captured one person, locked her up in the castle, and after a few days he offered her freedom. At the moment that unhappy man ran out of the castle, he let go of the pack of dogs and he himself went back on his horse, only to enjoy the spectacle of seeing the dogs tear that person apart.

49:32 That was reported perhaps about thirty or forty years after Pringl' s death, the people of the village claimed to keep hearing the pack of dogs and the screams of the person they attacked. The tower of Bukholm finally continued to be abandoned and crumbled, until today it is turned into a pile of semi- destructed stacked rocks everywhere curious. Still today there are those who say that at night the noise of dogs is heard again. Yes, the pack and the screams of someone who is besieged by dogs ironically. The other ghostly view there is that of Pringal, the Count of Pringel who was sometimes seen walking inside the tower while it was still standing there for 1, 500. It was said that one could see through the holes of the windows pass the ghostly figure of the Earl of Pring The fear was still present, as there was the legend that the Count of Pringol could come down from the tower to continue killing people. Such a thing never happened, but the story remained there And today, in the 21st century, legend still exists and there are still some people who claim to have heard the dogs of the Count of Pringol barking in the middle of the night. We don' t know how true it can be

51:04 can just be confusion environmental noises dogs in another latitude. But let me tell you that in England it' s not usually a place where dogs are loose on the street. There are usually no large cages and the Buckholm tower is located within a preservation area where pets are not allowed and, of course, no one lives about that tower. Then what are these dogs, who is the one who shouts good question, as if it were a horror film that repeats itself over and over again in a place where, on the one hand, huge violence, terrible emotions, sorcery, human perversity and clear paranormal phenomena, a cocktail that generates a haunted castle and well, allow me some calls from the audience has called us Salvador Armando Vázquez García, who asks us if we can talk about Atlantis hear and the subject of Atlantis it is not very common for us to talk about it in accounts of the dark side, neither Atlantis nor memory, basically because well, it is a matter that, if it were true, would have been simply history and would have nothing spectacular as to the paranormal or the mystery. But there' s a detail there.

52:30 It is likely that many cultures, even Mesoamerican, have spoken of Atlantis. The ancient Bible would also have spoken of this platoon. The famous philosopher would also have made a comprehensive review of the location of Atlantis and there would be some small evidence that Atlantis would not have been at least in the sense it has been handled. That is, to us Atlantis immediately refers a place of columns in the Greek Roman style, subjects in robes walking while eating grapes with laurels on their heads in a splendid place. But finally very primitive. Not some claim that, if true, Atlantis would have been a bustling, modern city, with technology equipment and that it would have even surpassed ours, that it would have been the antecedent of the human race and that, therefore, it would have been a highly developed civilization. So it' s worth returning to that topic, because it would be interesting to think that maybe some omnis aren' t strange creatures from the cosmos, but they' re ancient inhabitants of planet earth, who, due to some catastrophe or some situation, decided to leave the place and then take a look again at how the planet is going or what we' re leaving the planet. So interesting suggestion. We have also been called Rafael César Carmona, who congratulates and sends many greetings.

54:00 Mr Bolaños also called us a hug over there. Thank you very much for remembering us always almost seven years away from having started the project accounts of the dark side, we are very far from that we run out of material. As simple as that, new phenomena continue to appear every day, of course, new cases of human perversity and, of course, there are new events within the terrain of loufology. So the road far from narrowing and getting smaller, continues to be used, of course, with the favor of your company. Now, to top it off, I' m talking to a classic.

54:42 Drum Landring Castle is an exceptional place to watch. Two ghosts live in this place. One of them is that of a woman and the other of a monkey, yes, of an ape. The woman, well, she ' s a woman, she' s her obvious, but she doesn' t have a head or she doesn' t have a head on her shoulders. He' s got it, in fact, in his hands. The Landrich Drum Castle has been the subject of many novels, including Canterbury' s ghost. The famous comic friendly novel tells of a ghost very similar to the ghosts of Drum Lanric. There was a tragic event in this place. Lady Anne Douglas, a 17th- century noblewoman, died beheaded. There' s no record of who the hell cut off his head. The fact is, she died decapitated. Moreover, the tomb of Lady And Douglas is located on the outskirts of Drumlandrich Castle and at some point the body was exhumed and, indeed, the head had been cut off. Well, the ghost who appears and wanders through the great wings of the castle, appears holding his head in his hands. It' s not a pleasant vision, I assure you.

56:00 But the other good one is even stranger. It' s a monkey' s. This creature suddenly appears in a room. The room is known as the monkey' s room. And well, it' s not because the monkey lived there, but because the dead monkey appears in the ghost of a monkey. The question is where it came from. Yes, besides this, it is nowhere recorded that any of the lords or nobles who lived in the castle would have had a monkey. And yet it is a very frequent occurrence. Within the appearances of Drum Landrig it is said that it is more possible to meet the ghost of the monkey than to meet the ghost of Lady Anne.

56:46 Just suddenly someone enters the room, into the monkey' s room, as he is known and observes a nice mico jumping from one place to another and disappearing against the wall Evidently, there is no such mico. It' s a ghostly apparition. The explanation. There was no attempt to find out if at any point there would have been a chimpanzee or something there, but no, there' s no historical record, no part of them having that pet. There was even some madman out there who claimed that the chimpanzee or, this mico that appears there was from a circus that would have been killed in the castle as part of the lord' s hunt, who would have found it nice to kill the animal. But there is no record of this.

57:32 And yet there is a record of many similar appearances, so you see, not all apparitions are human. Finally, this is the castle that is somewhat hilarious, well, hilarious for you or for me in the sense of watching a headless ghost run with his head in his hands. But for those who have witnessed it is a grotesque spectacle and claim that the presence of Lady and Douglas expressed the death of someone close to the family who owns the castle. Who knows how true he can do or who knows what there is. Behind these apparitions, perhaps simply legends, but a legend of a chimpanzee ghost hard to believe. I just have to thank you for the favor of your company, the fact that you have accompanied me along this journey for ghostly phenomena that, although they seem distant to us for those who have lived it, do not turn out to be very pleasant.
