00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:08.439
Normally, when we talk about ghosts, we imagine ancient medieval castles and yes,

2
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:15.240
it is correct. The most classic
ghost legends of all are about ancient

3
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:21.760
medieval castles or very old castles.
In general, some of them may be

4
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:27.000
Renaissance, but they are castles that
are more than 400 years old and yet

5
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:35.039
retain features of their past life in
a paranormal form. Many of these places,

6
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:41.200
over a long period of time,
have witnessed ghostly appearances of the most

7
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.240
varied to the point that today,
with modern equipment, with recordings for voices

8
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:54.920
and psychophonic inclusions, incredible information has
been obtained from these places. You don

9
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.880
' t believe me Come with me. Let' s take a tour of

10
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:12.879
some of these places, which you
might say are haunted castles. We begin

11
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:26.599
accounts of the dark side, strange
beings, inexplicable events, diverse stories that

12
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:42.480
other lenses prefer to ignore. The
first place I would like to take that

13
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:49.879
Slovenia, the central part of Europe
to the east, in a place known

14
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:59.319
as Preyama pret Llama has a peculiar
pronunciation. In this place there is a

15
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.719
very old castle. It' s
a beautiful castle. It is currently a

16
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:15.599
museum and, curiously, the museum
always closes before mysterious nightfall. Perhaps this

17
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.159
castle, which since the end of
the Second World War was expropriated by the

18
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:25.599
Yugoslav Government, became a museum and
some twenty years ago has begun to have

19
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:31.560
tourism or perhaps a little earlier.
The thing is, people go there,

20
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.960
they pay a ticket and they can
walk around. The old castle is the

21
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:44.080
castle of Pretyama and, as such, has a phenomenal history. But don

22
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:50.319
' t forget that the castle closes
before dark. That means that in winter

23
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.800
it closes at five o' clock
in the afternoon, in spring it closes

24
00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:00.360
at six o' clock and during
summer it closes at seven o' clock

25
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.319
and everyone absolutely leaves there. Nobody' s staying. The guards are outside

26
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.599
in a small village, but inside
the castle, at nightfall, there'

27
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:15.960
s no one, or maybe it' s just that they' ve been

28
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.879
there for too long, something like
four hundred years or five hundred. So

29
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.759
that gives you an idea of the
place. But let' s start with

30
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:29.000
history. This place, where the
castle is located, is a cave,

31
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:35.080
a huge cavern. This area of
Slovenia has several caves. In fact,

32
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.840
near there, about ten kilometers away, there is one of the largest caves

33
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:43.680
in Europe, a cavern, but
this in particular is a cavern that was

34
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.520
inhabited by the first human beings to
inhabit the region in the Neolithic period.

35
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.319
Later, with the passage of the
centuries, the place was occupied by many

36
00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:01.879
different tribes for different uses, but
it has generally lived and would not be

37
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:10.039
until probably in the thirteenth century,
when this castle appears in the historical annals

38
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.039
and appears written, but it already
existed from before. It is believed that

39
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.439
it could have been built in the
year one thousand and fifty- three of

40
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:24.319
our era, which suggests that it
is nine hundred and seventy years old,

41
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.240
but of course, there are several
stories before. This place became a fortress.

42
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.480
It was not conceived as a palace. A great distinction must be made.

43
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.519
This castle was a fortress, it
was a place that became an impregnable

44
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:44.079
stronghold. Any troops, any army
that tried to take it, would face

45
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.920
three or four problems. The first
of them is that it is high,

46
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:53.839
very high, and is fully protected. The whole back and both sides are

47
00:04:53.879 --> 00:05:00.000
inside the cavern, which makes the
front the only way to attack. And

48
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.000
yet, the front is at the
top of a cliff cliff, and there

49
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.920
is a hillside where you can reach
it, but there is only one access

50
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:15.879
and that access is protected. Anyone
who tried to take this castle would have

51
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:23.279
to face formidable defenses already from above
trying to take off, which was almost

52
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.000
impossible, whether it was throwing things
away. It would also be almost impossible

53
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.639
because of the shape of the cliff
itself. Attacking on the front was useless.

54
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.839
Not much could be done, the
thick walls, the huge walls,

55
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:44.879
all that would prevent an attacker from
succeeding. That was the idea. But

56
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:49.680
in addition, this formidable castle would
be built in such a way that it

57
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:56.040
would also take advantage of the cavern, that the cavern itself would form part

58
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:01.920
of the castle' s facilities,
both down a form of pit and for

59
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:08.079
stables, and all uses would be
perfectly protected. The concept was tremendous and

60
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:12.199
yes it did work and worked wonderfully
to the point where the castle is mentioned

61
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.079
at some point in the 13th century, about one thousand and two hundred and

62
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.839
fifty, as the property of a
wealthy family. It was not a castle

63
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:27.399
for kings, it was not a
defence fortress and it was owned by the

64
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:33.319
Lueg family the Lueg were soldiers serving
the king and, as such, their

65
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:39.199
job was to protect against the invasion
of the Turks and Ottoman Turkish empire.

66
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:45.720
This stronghold, this powerful castle,
would prevent troops coming up from Turkey and

67
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:53.879
those regions from reaching the flat territories
and areas of the cities. It was

68
00:06:53.959 --> 00:07:00.439
an impregnable fortress that would serve to
prevent these hosts from coming to attack the

69
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.000
small forms of the king that were
further into the territory. So this was

70
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:10.439
a place where very dangerous situations of
high risk would be faced, being besieged,

71
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:16.360
being attacked. This site became a
bulwark and one speaks of a very

72
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:24.600
particular character, Erasmus. Lueg'
s story of Arasmus is an unusual story,

73
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.160
because he was a knight of those
old- fashioned knights, a wary

74
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.800
guy of armor, sword, helmet
who went out to fight and beheaded,

75
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.720
cut off and made horrors with enemy
troops. And when there were captives,

76
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.759
well, you know what I was
doing with them. He took them to

77
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.319
Pretyama Castle for questioning. The castle
had dungeons inside its facilities, a torment

78
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:55.040
room, a sort of cut.
They called him a courthouse to make an

79
00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:00.519
attempt at trial. The point is
that these soldiers, these are senstives were

80
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.519
taken there for questioning and they simply
wouldn' t do very well, because,

81
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.319
in fact, during explorations already in
modern times we are talking about the

82
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.399
eighties and nineties. At the bottom
of a moat located in the back,

83
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:20.959
it is a kind of vertical moat
of the geological formation itself, it is

84
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:26.480
like a precipice inside the cavern.
At the bottom of that was found numerous

85
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.200
skeletons of the Erasmus era, that
is to say that they were skeletons that

86
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.679
had perhaps seven hundred and fifty years
of being launched there. None of them

87
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.799
had armor or things that might reflect
that they had accidentally fallen into battle or

88
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:52.080
something. They were people, they
were people who had been thrown into that

89
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.840
place, which demonstrates the cruelty that
existed in this place, in this place,

90
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.320
in this castle. The captives would
face horrors in there, but not

91
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.360
just them. The original castle was
not designed to be an elegant place.

92
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.120
It was a place where there would
be soldiers, where there would be people

93
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:16.679
coming and going, horses, medieval
knights, all bewitched by the violence they

94
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.080
had lived to the point where the
original castle was a place everyone was afraid

95
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.559
of, because once they entered,
there was no way out, there was

96
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:31.120
no way for anyone to escape.
Well, there was, but you had

97
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:37.799
to know how to get there.
There. Erasmus had grown up in another

98
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.320
castle, in another fortress, but
had fought here It was to such an

99
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:48.639
extent his bravery that the king himself
considered it worthy of his trust. Erasmus

100
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:54.320
then became a bodyguard in the strong
man, in the custodian of the king

101
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:01.080
himself, a kind of very honorable
title. The family would then be distinguished

102
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.879
by that appointment which elevated him to
a sort of second of the king and

103
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.720
his trusted man, his strong man, his thug. The problem is that,

104
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.559
at a certain point, one of
Erasmus' fellow arms then fell into

105
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:22.320
disgrace, some mistake made. The
fact is that the king condemned him to

106
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.840
death and dishonorable death a denigrating death
and ended the life of that man.

107
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.559
Erasmus. However, despite the pain
that his fellow gunman, his friend,

108
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:43.200
was tried and murdered cruelly, violently
and unjustly, because he did. That

109
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.919
man had no fault in what had
happened and yet they took his life.

110
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.960
Erasmus, in spite of that,
fulfilling the sacred vow to guard the king,

111
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.759
followed him by his side. But
then that bad moment came in a

112
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:07.679
tavern while they were drinking a man
of confidence from the king and sent from

113
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:13.519
another monarch, offended the memory of
Erasmus' friend. Luege mocking how he

114
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.720
had been burned, how he had
been horrified. Rising at that, Erasmus

115
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:24.200
rises up to draw his sword and
challenge to death. That man initiates combat.

116
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.440
Of course, that embalmed subject attacks
Erasmus, without realizing that he is

117
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.759
fighting the king' s own bodyguard, against a man who had left hundreds

118
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.519
of soldiers on the way that without
any problem, takes his life when he

119
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:45.799
ends up with him. Only there
is a blood stain, a corpse,

120
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:52.000
but that obviously annoys the patron of
that soldier, of that minister, as

121
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.639
you wish to call him. And
this causes the King himself to order Erasmus

122
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:05.639
to be punished, and punishment means
death. What Erasmus could be. They

123
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.399
had dishonored his memory, his friend' s memory, offended him and now

124
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:15.720
the King took away his confidence and
condemned him. Erasmus took a horse and

125
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:22.200
rode all night until reaching the fortress, the fortress of Prethamma. When he

126
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.759
was there, he barricaded himself with
all his men, with enough supplies.

127
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.240
The King, of course, said
good. There' s no point in

128
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.279
just trying around the fortress and they' ll starve to death. However,

129
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:43.240
Erasmus knew the passageways of the caverns
and was very soon outside. He knew

130
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.840
how to get in and out through
those hidden passageways and how to get to

131
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.120
the roads. With all the horse
he became a highway robber who used to

132
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.879
attack the king' s fortresses,
the envoys, the caravans, the markets.

133
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.679
He stole everything that was stuck in
the grey and then went back to

134
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.879
the castle and walked through the windows, throwing things at the soldiers who were

135
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:09.840
there in the fence, those who
were outside guarding so that no one would

136
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.399
come in and out. He threw
fresh food at them just to mock them,

137
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:22.879
noting that the siege of the castle
of Prethama would be forever and that

138
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.559
they would never be able to catch
it that was prolonged and about a year

139
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:35.080
was what lasted that place. It
was terrible days, terrible days because those

140
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:41.120
men faced the winter, the king' s soldiers and died frozen there at

141
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:50.559
the foot of the castle, as
they watched Erasmus pass quietly through the windows,

142
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:56.879
perfectly sheltered, enjoying meals and things, and someone then had an idea.

143
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:05.919
Yeah, why not betray him.
They told one of the servants that

144
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.679
they would provide him with great riches, that they would even provide him with

145
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:18.360
some noble title. In exchange for
him betraying Erasmus. He was also threatened

146
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.799
that he would starve very soon when
all the entrances were closed. In return,

147
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.759
the only thing I had to do
was that when Erasmos was in front

148
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:33.919
of the castle near a window,
this servant would light a candle. With

149
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.759
that candle he would approach the window
in sign that Erasmus was vulnerable so that

150
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:46.200
those soldiers would shoot some catapult or
a bombard something and end Erasmos. They

151
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:54.519
say that at one point that man
lit a candle in the window. They

152
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.320
knew that that shot was fired at
the moment. I don' t know

153
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:00.000
exactly what it would be. He
knocked down the walls r to Martins.

154
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:05.559
Erasmus immediately and seeing that his boss
had fallen, many of his soldiers escaped,

155
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:11.639
fled leaving the castle. Only the
winners who had killed Erasmus spread the

156
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:18.720
idea that Erasmus had died while in
the bathroom, that is, that he

157
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.799
had gone to the latrine and shot
him there, which, by the way,

158
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.000
is not proven, but it is
quite logical, because it was the

159
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:33.080
least protected place in the whole castle. The fact is, he dies right

160
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:39.759
away. The castle is evicted,
completely looted by those who arrive and remains

161
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.960
there for some time. It would
not be until one thousand four hundred and

162
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:50.120
eighty- five, when members of
the Habsburg family would occupy the castle and

163
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.960
begin the reconstruction after the siege at
the takeover. That would be badly damaged,

164
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.440
but it wouldn' t last long
for them. For 1, 500

165
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:03.559
eleven, the castle again reacted,
conditioned and converted into a modern building of

166
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:11.639
the Renaissance era, would be completely
demolished by an earthquake. But the curse

167
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:18.279
of Rasmus was in progress because the
people inside, including the direct descendants of

168
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:23.279
those who took his life, died
trapped in the rubble, crushed by the

169
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.799
roofs, by the rocks for all
that remained inside the castle, buried.

170
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:40.279
Some time would pass and it would
not be until 1, 500 seventy when

171
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:45.080
the castle would be built again.
The remains of those people would be thrown

172
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:49.240
into the ravine along with the rubble
and instead the new castle would be erected

173
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:52.600
with a different appearance, but equally
beautiful. Don' t kid yourself.

174
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.200
It is not a new castle or
today it is four hundred and fifty-

175
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:02.039
three years old. It premiered in
1, 500 seventy and knows something.

176
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.039
From that moment on strange things began
to happen. In there for years,

177
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.160
people didn' t want to be
there. People in town left because they

178
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:18.079
didn' t want to be there. The place was full of frights.

179
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.799
The first and most scary of them
was Erasmus himself, who was seen walking

180
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:26.160
through the rooms still in the new
building. He could be seen if he

181
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.880
could hear his heavy walks, those
armors, those things that were used heavily

182
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:40.119
wandering through the windows. But even
more something you could see certain nights is

183
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.359
that in the window on the left
side above suddenly a light went on.

184
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.720
It was said that the light was
the same as the one used as a

185
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:55.440
signal, because that room was not
in use. In fact, no one

186
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:57.920
wanted to be there. They left
that area of the building for fear of

187
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:04.480
what was happening, but suddenly it
lit up as if that guy who betrayed

188
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.839
was Asmus, going on and,
of course, they took his life.

189
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.119
They didn' t want it to
be known. So, once the castle

190
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.240
fell and they realized it had been
a betrayal, the other soldiers fled,

191
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:22.960
but before they took his life.
But it wasn' t the only thing,

192
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.759
because in this place, from that
moment on, the building was occupied

193
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.759
on different occasions. In fact,
in the 19th century, in a thousand

194
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:37.319
eight hundred and ten, the building
was owned by fon Konenbergh, but sold

195
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:45.960
it very soon, barely three or
four years, and sold it did not

196
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.039
continue using it the building was empty
during World War II. There were,

197
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:56.359
rumored, Nazi force troops there It
is also said that this building was occupied

198
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.920
for annerve experiments, because Saint knew
where it was haunted. But there is

199
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:07.079
no proof of that and for many
researchers it is nothing more than a legend,

200
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.720
although certainly these regions also saw action. After World War II, the

201
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:18.880
building was confiscated by the Yugoslav Government
and subsequently converted into a museum. The

202
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:25.599
building you see today is a museum
and can be visited in exchange for some

203
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.400
euros. You can take a very
interesting tour and walk through each room and

204
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.680
the grotto, enter the grotto and
even buy some subirving to the door,

205
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:41.440
as long as it is with daylight, because at night the employees leave,

206
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.240
so don' t expect any more
of them simply leave, because in this

207
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:51.359
place even when more than five hundred
years or six hundred of the violent events

208
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:56.440
that removed the Viderasmus, something is
still hanging in there and at certain hours

209
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.720
of the night, as it is
told. Of course, there' s

210
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:06.000
no way to prove it. You
start to hear the sound of steps,

211
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:14.680
the heavy steps of a knight in
armor, the voice of command laments and

212
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.160
if you go down a little bit
to the dungeon area, where the camera

213
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.920
of Tormentos was, then there things
change And there are those who say that

214
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.079
suddenly you hear voices that beg,
voices that speak in an unknown language,

215
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:33.599
because let me tell you that the
current Slovenian language. It' s not

216
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:38.000
the same one that was spoken six
hundred years ago and it' s hard

217
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.160
to understand what the voices there say, that are recorded there. When a

218
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.880
special program of those paranormal TV research
programs was recorded on the 2, 000th,

219
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:52.920
those men claimed that paranormal voices had
been recorded on the site. Many

220
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.319
of the guides and guardians and the
people who worked during the restoration laughed a

221
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:03.240
lot, because all of them,
without the need to carry apparatuses, without

222
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.079
the need to carry thermographic cameras,
infrared cameras, without any of that,

223
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.960
all of them had heard something,
had felt something and someone had pulled them

224
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:21.359
out, pushed them or to walk
suddenly to Erasmos through those thick corridors.

225
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:27.680
How can it be that so long
later the sum of many things has remained.

226
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:32.759
Don' t lose sight of the
fact that these people weren' t

227
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:36.039
very religious either. In fact,
let me tell you that Erasmus himself,

228
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:41.720
at some point, also had quarrels
with the church back then, so they

229
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:49.200
weren' t exactly devoted people of
any faith and they were extraordinarily cruel all

230
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.640
those horrors added up in the same
place where there has already been death,

231
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:57.880
where there has been the collapse of
a building. Tortures generate a space,

232
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:06.839
a kind of marggas that makes them
stay there, like knowing simple guesses,

233
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:12.319
but there they remain trapped between their
thick walls and the heavy enormous walls of

234
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:26.920
the cavern, those spectra wandering through
the nights. Now let me take you

235
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:33.359
to a very peculiar place in England
is in Shropshire, near the River Teme

236
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:40.119
to the north is Luthlou Castle.
It was a fortress that resisted attack after

237
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:44.119
attack built in a thousand seventy-
five. Give yourself an idea of how

238
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:49.720
old you are. This is at
least nine hundred and fifty years old from

239
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:56.480
being there. This place Ludlow,
today is in ruins. However, it

240
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:03.799
was a brutal scene of bullets.
The War of the Roses was fought there,

241
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.279
the wars between Richard, Heart of
Lion and those of the North,

242
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:12.119
between John without Earth, all those
terrible battles were fought here. This place

243
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:18.400
was besieged from one side to the
other. Always the attack, the pit,

244
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.000
in the style of film, the
high walls, the drawbridge, the

245
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:29.559
tall towers, the trunks from where
they were launched from balloons bombards, catapults,

246
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:33.279
all that. This was the place
and there was nothing glamorous about it.

247
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:34.519
No, no, no, no, be fooled, it wasn'

248
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:41.319
t Disney. Inside things were horrible
pestilences. It wasn' t a comfortable

249
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.599
place. All the time. There
was a strong smell of horse, dung

250
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:51.359
to, torch lit to oil used
to burn in flashlights in whatever they had

251
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:56.359
to light up. It was a
cold, wet place. The aim of

252
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:03.359
this place was to defend against the
attacks and it was very efficient. It

253
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:08.440
was an incredibly deficient place to the
point that he resisted attack after attack.

254
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:15.039
11th century, 13th century, 13th
century, When de Lazi tried to attack,

255
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:22.799
this place was defeated. But later
the place was finally defeated and when

256
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.640
the borders were over and this was
no longer used, because there was no

257
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:33.400
one to fight. The castle was
little by little. In the 18th century

258
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:40.359
it was retaken by the British crown
itself. They remodeled it. Then they

259
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.480
made it a little more elegant.
One of the wings became an area of

260
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:48.319
nobles where there were carpets, chimneys. All of this was no longer a

261
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:56.440
border fortress, there were no longer
those great battles, but there were some

262
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.400
details, such as when in one
thousand six hundred forty- six it was

263
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:06.359
taken by the realists during the English
Civil War, all the prisoners were executed

264
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.200
there in all. Not exactly known, but for years human remains have been

265
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:18.160
found buried right there. Surrenders were
not accepted and those taken were executed.

266
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.960
And yes, that' s the
test. In one thousand six hundred and

267
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:30.160
eighty- six, he was then
again attacked one and the other. And

268
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:37.480
again, when the people of Parliament
took over the castle, they executed all

269
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.640
the realists who were inside and when
they told all that they included men,

270
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.319
women, children, whatever was inside
the castle, because, of course,

271
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:51.680
when the people of the villages saw
that the opposing troops were coming, they

272
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:53.880
ran to hide inside the castle,
assuming that they would be safe there.

273
00:25:53.920 --> 00:26:00.640
But as they fell, they all
faced death. This place, it is

274
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:03.720
said, had blood walls stained.
When centuries have passed away, it may

275
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:10.319
be only a myth, but that
was said. But there is one particular

276
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:15.119
figure that has been striking attention since
very old times and that was probably the

277
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:22.000
reason why, after the conquest of
this castle, it was abandoned. Even

278
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:25.599
though he had been remodeled, even
when he had been made very nice things,

279
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.039
he was abandoned. And it is
that, according to it, in

280
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:37.920
a very old time, in the
year one hundred and forty full medieval period,

281
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:45.519
there was a tremendous story in the
lord of the Castle had a young

282
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:49.279
woman named Marion de la Bruller.
She was a trusted girl, she was

283
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:56.960
part of Mrs del Castillo' s
entourage. This woman was an attractive young

284
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.240
woman, as she is told,
of great beauty and who served the lady

285
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:04.160
of the castle. On one occasion, however, as he walked through the

286
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:12.880
village accompanying his lady, he fell
in love with an elegant and distinguished young

287
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:18.240
man whose name was Arnold de Lazi. This subject, however, was an

288
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:23.599
enemy, the lord of the castle. It was an extraordinarily dangerous subject who,

289
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:30.240
along with several other gentlemen, were
planning how to take the formidable Castle

290
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.480
the great fortress, which was not
easy to attack this place. It was

291
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:38.400
a death sentence if you didn'
t have something prepared. The fact is

292
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:44.000
that this man takes care of going
little by little working through small messages,

293
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:49.400
small sneaky encounters there on the streets
with this girl Mariom de la Bruller.

294
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.640
Mario wasn' t a charmer,
but he was very innocent. One good

295
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:00.200
day, this guy asks him to
allow him into his bedroom, promises him

296
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:07.279
many things and Marion is greatly excited
because she is simply a courtesan, a

297
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.279
court clerk in part of the entourage
of the lady of the Castle, that

298
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:18.680
is, nothing. And this gentleman
seems to be very elegant. And even

299
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.599
though she has already learned that Arnold
de Lass is contrary to the Lord of

300
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.799
the Castle, she does not resist
love and one of those nights, through

301
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:33.960
a window, pulls a rope so
that the lover will come up and be

302
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.119
with her in the room. A
night of storm, of course, a

303
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.400
night of lust, a night of
love that ends when at dawn this subject

304
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.839
escapes through the window and disappears.
She collects the rope quietly, keeps it

305
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:52.920
happy in her romantic thoughts. Days
later that is repeated and then repeated again.

306
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.480
But that time it' s different. Arnold Nelas arrives at a good

307
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:02.079
time, as he has always hoped
the lord of the castle has traveled.

308
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:06.480
That night. There' s no
sir and there' s not all his

309
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:12.759
soldiers. The rope goes off and
Arnold climbs up and, between hugs and

310
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:18.920
loving advances, Marion forgets to pick
up the rope, but Arnold has not

311
00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:25.720
forgotten, since behind him comes his
brother and a hundred knights, who climb

312
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:29.920
the rope and very quickly take control
of the castle and begin to kill everyone.

313
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:34.440
It' s a butcher' s
shop there. Marion realizes what has

314
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:38.559
happened, He realizes that he has
betrayed his master, He realizes that she

315
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:48.200
herself has been betrayed and desperate.
He approaches Arnold by pretending a sentimental and

316
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:53.920
romantic advance that tarugo, as is
often the case when Don Juan believes that

317
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:57.759
he does not let himself be loved
without knowing that the young woman takes the

318
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:03.720
sword and cuts his neck in a
quick movement. She' s taken her

319
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.279
life knowing she' s lost because
as soon as the guards get here,

320
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:10.359
they' re going to kill her. He begins to climb towards the tower

321
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:14.960
of the castle in the hope that
from there he can make signs, warn

322
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:23.759
something, but for his bad luck, oh perhaps of his own free will,

323
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:26.960
his body falls from the tower,
from the high tower, towards the

324
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:32.599
rocks that are below the sharp cliffs, ending his life down there. According

325
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:36.160
to reports, his body was not
recovered, no one picked him up.

326
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:41.480
He lay there and then threw the
bodies of others who remained below the castle.

327
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:49.079
From that moment on, the castle
began to have a series of paranormal

328
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:55.119
problems that spread to the point where, in a thousand eight hundred and ten

329
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.680
the place was uninhabitable, despite having
made arrangements, despite many beautiful things that

330
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:04.880
had been done to it. It
was uninhabitable because of all the paranormal problems

331
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:10.680
that there was the constant going out
and coming at night, especially if they

332
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:15.680
were clear nights, the appearance of
Marion de la bruge, but there was

333
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:21.799
also the soldier of the tower.
For years, a man dressed in what

334
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:26.039
would appear to be a soldier'
s suit, has debunked the tower.

335
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.359
There was also the tall woman.
This one is not well known who may

336
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:34.160
have been one of so many victims
of the castle, but for years it

337
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:38.599
has been seen. She is a
woman dressed in a kind of hood,

338
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:42.279
in a kind of high suit that
you can see her long white hair,

339
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:48.880
she is very tall to her and
walks from one side to the other on

340
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.920
corridors that no longer exist, on
floors that no longer exist. You can

341
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:56.839
see him wandering around. It'
s a sign of something serious that'

342
00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:00.559
s going to happen. Let me
tell you that it' s not something

343
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.240
that just and every time you see
this ghost, it' s that something

344
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:09.319
serious is going to happen in England
from accidents, storms, bombing attacks.

345
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:13.319
He' s been here a long
time, and then there' s another

346
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:17.200
one. He' s a soldier
who says the night of the attack was

347
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:21.519
in a tavern in the village.
Knowing that there was an attack on the

348
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:24.319
castle, he armed himself and ran
in that direction, but failed to reach

349
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:31.599
it. He was killed at the
foot of the castle and for a long

350
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:37.160
time before he has seen him run
from the tavern or the place where the

351
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:40.000
tavern was once in the direction of
the castle and is lost shortly before arriving.

352
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.680
There are witnesses who have seen him
for hundreds of years. It is

353
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:50.640
not frequent, not only happens sometimes, but the main ghost is that of

354
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:57.079
Lady Marion, who is heard suddenly, screaming, crying, walking between walls,

355
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:06.720
between floors and in places where you
can no longer be. A love

356
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.799
story turned into a ghost story and, of course, this place has been

357
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:16.119
visited for many years in modern times
by ghost hunters. Right there they have

358
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:22.759
been able to include all kinds of
recordings, strange photographs that reveal shadows that

359
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:28.319
were not there at the time and
some witnesses claim to have been touched,

360
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:30.200
boasted or feel a cold wind in
the middle of a totally quiet night.

361
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:37.440
What would you think. The peculiar
characteristic of both castles that I have described

362
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.680
to you on this occasion is that
they are both very old, They have

363
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.839
been empty for a long time and, however, the apparitions, which are

364
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:52.519
almost as old as the castles themselves, are still there that phenomenon that is

365
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:55.160
considered residual, although there are those
who claim that it is not so,

366
00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:00.279
but that they are phenomena that were
trapped and that they were added with other

367
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:04.000
presences of that of the other victims, of other people who lost their lives,

368
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:10.519
who were tortured, that they were
joining in a kind of marism of

369
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:15.239
spiritual entities that are held in place. It' s hard to tell,

370
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:29.039
but these kinds of appearances are quite
common in England. Now, it is

371
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:32.199
said that England is the land of
ghosts and castles, but in reality it

372
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:37.719
also happens elsewhere, as we have
seen in Slovenia and now let me take

373
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:44.599
it to Spain. We go to
the province of Huesca, Aragon, where

374
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:52.519
the castle of Loarre is located.
This place has a strange story behind it.

375
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.599
To begin with, it is one
of the fortifications that at the same

376
00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:01.559
time was a monastery fortification and so
was something very serious. It was built

377
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:06.440
at the time of King Sancho Iro, in the time of the Spanish reconquest.

378
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:12.440
This was the last point from which
you could see the territory still in

379
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:19.000
Arab hands the Andalusian, which was
Arab territory. This was a fortress that,

380
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:22.239
like the Ludlow fortress, was a
border fortress in a place of great

381
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:29.000
risk and close to the coast.
It was a place where there could be

382
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:34.960
great dangers. Getting here could mean
death, because if you neglected, they

383
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:38.280
would catch you and torture you and
kill you. But at the same time

384
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:42.639
it was an important trade route and
very close. Large salt mines were found,

385
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:49.519
so it was really important. For
centuries he resisted attacks of all kinds.

386
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:55.320
But to say centuries is that even
in recent times it was also the

387
00:35:55.320 --> 00:36:00.840
twentieth century. It was a fighting
scene. It is in which preferably preserved

388
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:07.039
inside the castle of this fortress you
can still appreciate frescoes, you can visit,

389
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:13.599
the place is complete. It is
considered one of the best castles in

390
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:17.400
Europe, but has an interesting history. Let us begin because the first moments

391
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:24.039
in what this place was occupied was
in the third century C E was a

392
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:30.440
Roman settlement. Before that, this
was an Iberian settlement. So it'

393
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:32.039
s an area that' s been
occupied for 2, 000 years. It

394
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:37.199
seems good to you when the Romans
arrive, they discover this mound in the

395
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:43.400
middle of this point that allows you
to see all the plains and say here

396
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:45.800
is this is the perfect place and
they build a fortification there. Later,

397
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:51.719
when the Romans withdrew, this place
would begin to be occupied by different tribes

398
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:57.079
even by Arabs, who arrived from
the African coast and began to occupy it

399
00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:00.480
for later, during the reconquest in
this place, so to expel the Arabs,

400
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:06.840
to liberate from what was there a
fortress is built and at the foot

401
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:09.920
of it a village. The place
was preserved despite the attacks could never really

402
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:15.280
destroy it and was passed over.
Sometimes it was someone' s, sometimes

403
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:19.119
it was someone' s. There
was a time when he was from the

404
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:23.559
church itself, he was a kind
of abbey. Then it was owned by

405
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:29.559
others and so on, it was
never taken. Let me tell you that

406
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:34.719
the fortress of the re was never
taken. The difference of the vast majority

407
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:40.719
of castles, this castle was never
violated. He stoically resisted all attacks.

408
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:46.000
It' s a formidable structure.
To this day it remains formidable in many

409
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:52.320
respects and meets an unparalleled resistance,
but it has its history as well,

410
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:59.480
and its history is just as interesting, because the castle has its ghosts.

411
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:09.519
This fortress was also assigned as a
kind of religious abbey in the 15th century

412
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:16.199
and it is said that a romantic
couple arrived at this place. It was

413
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:22.800
nothing more or less than a rapist. Luna violante was a woman, a

414
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:27.400
woman who had become a nun and
was the pope' s niece. The

415
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.800
problem is that he arrived with his
cousin also named Luna, who was a

416
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:37.320
soldier and was his lover. Both
had maintained a torrid romance that had become

417
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:42.440
a scandal that was affecting the Pope' s own reputation, who ordered that

418
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:49.079
this woman be transferred to Loarrey'
s castle, where she would remain only

419
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.800
so that she would not be near
her cousin. But the cousin arrived and

420
00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:54.800
entered the castle and those became a
thirst It became one because besides the castle

421
00:38:55.519 --> 00:39:05.599
went to make came troops surrounded the
castle. These people were in there chasing

422
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.559
this cousin Luna because he had done
something or was in combat with someone.

423
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:13.800
The matter is that for a long
time the castle was surrounded. They couldn

424
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:16.840
' t take a thousand four hundred
and thirteen. Finally Moon escapes somewhere,

425
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:27.599
leaving rapists in there who are captured. She is later told to be transferred

426
00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:31.440
to a prison where, through the
pope' s intercession, she finally leaves

427
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:37.559
free, but is condemned to be
in captivity and dies away from the castle

428
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:42.239
of loarre. Since his death,
in the castle he has been seen to

429
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:45.719
wander dressed in his habit of nun
from one side to the other, going

430
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:51.119
and coming the Why? Because the
castle was the place where he had lived

431
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:57.440
the best moments of his life,
of passion of all that dies elsewhere locked

432
00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:04.039
up. She was not a prisoner
of her adversaries, but rather a prisoner

433
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:09.239
of the church itself which punished her
and was reportedly excommunicated by the Pope himself

434
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:14.440
because of the scandal that had broken
out. And excommunicated, she was condemned

435
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:20.599
to wander forever among the walls of
the castle for years. The people who

436
00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:22.719
walk around, those who have worked
in maintenance, the people who have guarded

437
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:29.960
the building, have heard those laments
and have seen the image, especially on

438
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:36.920
certain moon nights through the empty windows
of all these structures, where the moonlight

439
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:44.320
enters you can see the figure of
the nun pass. Everyone knows he'

440
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:49.079
s a rapist. Moon that returned
after death to the place where she was

441
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.400
happy, but she is not the
only one. These buildings have that characteristic

442
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:58.679
that they attract, like, people
to stay here. People who died there,

443
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.440
people who had something to do with
this place, come back after death.

444
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:06.280
And this building, in particular,
according to several testimonies, has chilling

445
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:09.960
things. For example, the tower
of the hangers. The tower of the

446
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:16.079
hangers is a place where you hear
panting. The name says the whole tower

447
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:22.920
of the hangers. In this place, as mentioned, you hear when people

448
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:32.280
were hanging. They are strange voices, they are voices that can be felt

449
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:37.880
with anguish, with horror. There
are also those rare snoring voices of men

450
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:43.719
who give orders and get lost between
the walls, but perhaps the rarest part

451
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:47.119
of all are choirs. Yes,
at some point it was also a kind

452
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:52.159
of abbey or monastery and choirs are
still being heard. The problem is,

453
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:57.559
he stopped being one two or three
hundred years ago. I don' t

454
00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:01.280
know exactly, but they keep listening. As night falls this quiet place,

455
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:07.639
this huge fortress is filled with strange
sounds and rare figures. For example,

456
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:12.519
there is the white lady, the
one who wanders elsewhere in the castle and

457
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:17.199
who is definitely not a violation of
the moon, but one does not know

458
00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:20.800
who she is is another of so
many presences. Then there is that of

459
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:24.760
the tower, where you can see
a man in armor and you can distinguish

460
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:30.360
to a certain extent, it is
no longer clear. It looks a little

461
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:34.360
greyish as transparent, but you can
distinguish someone who wears something like a layer

462
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:38.800
a kind of armor, something for
years has been seen over the years,

463
00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:44.320
when this region ceased to be a
prosperous area, many of the villagers moved

464
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:50.599
to the new city and left there. This lonely thing hasn' t collapsed.

465
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:57.519
It is still a formidable castle,
but its inhabitants are still there and

466
00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:00.760
at certain hours of the night.
Those who work in the sea, in

467
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:04.719
the retouching of the murals, that
there are beautiful murals, have once taken

468
00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:08.280
a clear scare. Not all of
them. You know perfectly well that when

469
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:15.719
you talk about the paranormal, there
is a difference in that not all people

470
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:21.280
are sensitive, but those who are
a little more perceptive take very unpleasant surprises

471
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:29.800
in this place. Believe me,
you can feel the presence of those who

472
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:43.800
lived there six hundred years ago.
Now let me tell you about another beautiful

473
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:50.480
place. In Etorriana, on the
coast of the Italian Adriatic, very close

474
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:55.880
to the coast, is the castle
of Montebello. Montebello Castle, in fact,

475
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.599
the name does not mean Monte Bonito, but the Monte de la Guerra.

476
00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:07.519
That translates somewhat like mons Belli or
mons Bellee the Mount of War,

477
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:12.719
because in this place there is a
castle that was a fortress. It is

478
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:15.760
located four hundred and a peak of
meters above sea level, which already down

479
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:22.199
and from this place you can see
to the coast. It' s an

480
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:25.719
impressive thing. The landscape as it
opens to the feet is beautiful and was

481
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:30.760
not a great fortress. In fact, it was a rather small castle,

482
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:35.679
but by its position, the way
it was built was an impregnable structure.

483
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:42.719
Anyone who tried to take this place
would face a high point for shooting,

484
00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:45.559
with arrow, with bow, with
traps, with everything you can imagine.

485
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:52.880
It was an impregnable redoubt, so
impregnable that for a long time the castle

486
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.119
was never taken as such. If
I' m right, it dates back

487
00:44:55.679 --> 00:45:02.159
to the 12th century, one thousand
and one hundred and fifty, and it

488
00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:05.159
was being modified and configured to what
we see today. However, this fortress

489
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:10.440
resisted everything you can imagine, even
bombs during World War II. The enclave

490
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:15.760
was a fortress in which there were
also troops, both Italian and Nazi.

491
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:22.400
So he was attacked and bombed.
It took his time to restore it and

492
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:29.559
make it beautiful again. But it
has a long history. Besides that,

493
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:35.440
he has a very peculiar ghost.
There' s a beautiful story. He

494
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:38.079
will see in the year of one
thousand three hundred and seventy, about.

495
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:45.639
That is, about seven hundred and
seventy years ago. This place was in

496
00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:53.920
the hands of the Malatesta family.
The Malatestas and the Montefeltro family held a

497
00:45:54.039 --> 00:46:00.360
huge rivalry and for a long time, this rivalry carried that castle case.

498
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:07.199
The castle of Montebello passed from one
hand to another treacherous attacks suddenly captured one

499
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:09.519
of the lords of Mala Testa and
the castle was handed over to the Montefeltros

500
00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:15.119
and so on. The matter is
that in that year of one thousand three

501
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:21.559
hundred and seventy, approximately part of
the Malatesta family lives in the castle.

502
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:29.679
It is a hugolinucho mala testa and
Constance his wife, who celebrate with joy

503
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:37.599
the pregnancy that she carries with her. But when the creature is born,

504
00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:43.760
there is a huge gloom. She' s a girl, she' s

505
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:46.320
a beautiful albino girl, according to
legend. When the creature was born,

506
00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:52.519
they immediately did not realize it,
but soon after they began to notice that

507
00:46:52.599 --> 00:47:00.480
it was extraordinarily white and the hair
was extraordinarily white. The eyes were incredibly

508
00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:08.000
light blue. They began to feel
fear because, according to tradition, albinos

509
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:13.639
children were of bad luck and were
considered to be some kind of little demons.

510
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:19.039
It was a very absurd tradition,
I do understand, but it was

511
00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:22.880
a tradition that was in force at
that time and fear began. The girl

512
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:28.320
had to take the risk of living, because if the people of the village

513
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:32.719
got up the one that weeded or
there would be, who would simply consider

514
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:36.679
her a danger for being a demon
and kill her. That was a nightmare

515
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:45.199
for both Constance and Hugo Linucho,
who decided that the girl would never leave

516
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:53.039
the castle. She had her white
blond hair, a Malvin person, her

517
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:59.400
eyebrows were white, her eyes were
of a strange blue and she was all

518
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:04.639
white, so one day they had
the happy idea that, in order to

519
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:09.440
take her to church mass, they
would paint her hair. Someone had told

520
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:15.079
them that it could be dyed with
a series of herbs and substances, it

521
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:17.920
could be dyed and passed by as
a normal child. You' d just

522
00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:22.079
have to do some hairstyle and I' d go through a normal girl and

523
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:24.400
I could go to church and I
could go with them and go. It

524
00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:30.760
was a moment of great joy.
According to legend. They quickly brought in

525
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:36.960
that person who dyed her hair,
but it obviously didn' t work out

526
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:40.800
very well. Within a few days
the color began to change, becoming a

527
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:46.119
blue color, and then the girl
was left with blue hair. And if

528
00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:52.119
it was to go unnoticed, now
more than ever it was clear that this

529
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:58.719
child was different. Constance and her
husband chose not to leave the castle.

530
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:06.440
If he were to go out into
the castle' s own courtyard and guarded,

531
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:09.119
two Dominican and Rullero guards were hired, who would guard the girl day

532
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:14.079
and night. They would always have
to be with her for no reason,

533
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:17.119
turning aside in anticipation that nothing would
happen to her for God. At that

534
00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:21.920
time, the creature would be about
five or six years old and, according

535
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:29.440
to it, was a playful and
cheerful girl until one day, a summer

536
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:34.239
solstice, twenty- first of June
of one thousand three hundred seventy- five,

537
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.079
the girl finds herself playing with a
ball of thread. That' s

538
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:43.400
what a ball was used to.
The lamb' s wig served as a

539
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:46.039
ball and the girl is playing while
her two guards guard her. When suddenly

540
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:52.760
I run linucho speaks to them for
some instruction, they withdraw for a moment

541
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:55.760
they turn to talk to him,
but when they look back there is no

542
00:49:55.800 --> 00:50:02.119
longer the girl who had been affectionately
called Surina by her hair, this little

543
00:50:02.320 --> 00:50:08.199
girl that some call Adelina gandolina.
The people of the village called him Azurina

544
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:14.440
and his guards spoke politely and with
joy called him Azurina because of the blue

545
00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:17.800
hair. But Surina' s gone. The search warrant is immediately given.

546
00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:22.559
All the guards of the castle,
all the soldiers of the Malatesta lords,

547
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:29.159
the people of the village arm themselves
and begin to trace thoroughly everywhere. The

548
00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:32.639
little ball, the little toy.
That' s right there. The big

549
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:39.039
gates, the big doors are locked. It' s an impregnable castle,

550
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:43.559
but the girl was never found.
A body was never found. The clothes

551
00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:49.039
were never found. Nothing was ever
found. He was completely gone. Of

552
00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:53.519
course, the Malatesta began to suffer
what they could not imagine and finally lost

553
00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:58.960
the castle to the Montefeltros. And
finally the castle, over many years,

554
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:04.360
was sold to a family that so
far has it. The Giddi family,

555
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:07.679
which to date holds the castle in
its possession and has given it a great

556
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:12.320
maintenance of the castle. After World
War II, which was damaged by the

557
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:16.320
bombings, it was rebuilt and is
a beautiful place, except that there are

558
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:22.000
two or three things to know.
It' s a haunted castle, that

559
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:30.039
simple and haunted so haunted that every
five years. On the 21st of June,

560
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:37.559
during the night you can see the
ghost of azurina. Legend says that

561
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:43.480
every five years, on the 21st
of June, at night, you can

562
00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:47.400
see this creature and hear it all
of a sudden In the middle of the

563
00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:52.119
night, a quiet night, you
hear the noises of someone who plays there.

564
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.559
In the courtyards, you can hear
the laughter of the girl running from

565
00:51:55.599 --> 00:52:01.239
one side to the other and,
at a certain point, if the moon

566
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:06.039
gives in that place, you can
see the girl running here and there and

567
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:12.519
blur only every five years. But
besides that, there are other things.

568
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:15.400
Come on It' s not just
asurine on the spot. There are another

569
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:21.840
series of strange phenomena. When in
nine hundred and ninety began to open the

570
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:28.000
doors so that some person could enter
tourism and paranormal research began to appear very

571
00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:35.360
rare things in the nineties. The
first recordings, which were basically psychophonic recordings,

572
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:38.719
recorded at the time of one thousand
nine hundred and ninety, on the

573
00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:45.360
twenty- first of June, the
laughter of children or at least one creature,

574
00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:50.880
voices, beatings, wagons, things
that were recorded over time. In

575
00:52:50.920 --> 00:52:54.320
ninety- five that was repeated and
so on. But that' s not

576
00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:58.519
the end of the story. In
the year two thousand and twelve a film

577
00:52:58.559 --> 00:53:06.039
was released. The film is a
movie of already as franchising franchiso decided to

578
00:53:06.039 --> 00:53:08.920
record the story of Asurina in a
film. And this movie premiered in the

579
00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:14.480
two thousand twelve, it' s
a mystery and terror movie, one thing

580
00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:19.639
I haven' t had a chance
to see but the review says it'

581
00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:21.920
s a good movie. The interesting
thing about the subject is that the film

582
00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:27.280
was recorded in the two thousand ten
and the theme is precisely the story of

583
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:30.559
the girl, of the girl who
disappeared in this place and knows what was

584
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:35.800
recorded in this place, in the
castle of Montivello itself. In there it

585
00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:40.280
was recorded and, of course,
during the shooting there were all kinds of

586
00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:44.679
problems since it was going to light. Things fell, objects moved, shadows

587
00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:47.880
appeared that no one knew where they
came from. Suddenly pop to why they

588
00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:57.239
recorded in June two thousand ten,
five years and it was their turn to

589
00:53:58.239 --> 00:54:02.519
record on June twenty- one.
So, obviously, they witnessed Asurina and

590
00:54:02.519 --> 00:54:08.119
clear when the skeptics of the Science
Association arrived. I don' t know

591
00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:15.159
what. They didn' t record
anything. Maybe they got the wrong day.

592
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:20.559
Maybe that day she didn' t
go to Gasurina, but for a

593
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:25.760
long time people wait anxiously that day
because it' s the visit of the

594
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:29.599
girl they say she' s not
dead. He' s not a ghost.

595
00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:35.400
It simply opened a portal in one
place, the girl crossed and disappeared,

596
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:38.880
but every five years that portal allows
her to come back and play,

597
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:45.199
as if you were there what you
would think. It is a very rare

598
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:50.960
story, certainly, but charming and
castle as such, although it is not

599
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:55.360
a huge castle like Lut Low or
impressive as the castle in Slomenia, it

600
00:54:55.360 --> 00:55:00.800
is a beautiful castle. To date
it is still a charming place and with

601
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:04.639
many mysteries because again and as in
the case of Slovenia, guess who was

602
00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:12.599
there? If you don' t
know what the energy is, well,

603
00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:15.760
over there we have a video on
the channel that talks about it. It

604
00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:22.320
was a Nazi group during World War
II. Which, in theory, sought

605
00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:27.840
the Aryan origin of the German people
themselves. But on top of that,

606
00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:31.480
he was looking for such disparate things
as the longino spear, the spear of

607
00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:36.360
power, the ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail and, of course,

608
00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:40.599
the portal that had allowed Suriname to
escape into another dimension. It can

609
00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:46.440
be just a clear myth. Of
course, crazy things have always been said,

610
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:59.920
but the place keeps its secrets.
Now and to close the program of

611
00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:05.360
I to tell you about the vampire
castle, ah yes is another castle of

612
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:10.000
those phenomenal, another border fortress is
located in England, in the North Humberland

613
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:16.840
region, and is the castle of
Alnwick. This castle, in addition to

614
00:56:16.840 --> 00:56:22.920
being a border fortress in the wars
against Scotland, also became a truly spectacular

615
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:30.559
place for a very crazy story.
Legend has it that in the 12th century

616
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:39.119
a man had suspicions that his wife
was cheating him, so he climbed outside

617
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:45.000
the castle by the thick ones,
walloner the battlements and so on by a

618
00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:50.039
roof to be able to spy through
a window in the castle. However,

619
00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:52.719
and for his bad luck, the
subject that he slipped, fell, hit

620
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:59.360
and finally fell to the dead pasture
without being able to know if his wife

621
00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:04.079
was faithful to him or not.
According to the story. After that,

622
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:07.559
the subject was taken to the cemetery
that was in the back and buried.

623
00:57:09.239 --> 00:57:15.199
But after he was buried, strange
things began to happen. They began to

624
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:22.519
see him wandering certain nights in the
village and in the castle itself to the

625
00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:25.960
amazement of all the guards. One
night those guards who were standing around with

626
00:57:27.079 --> 00:57:30.559
their armor, their helmets, their
spears, saw the dead pass by walking

627
00:57:31.599 --> 00:57:37.800
in the direction of the woman'
s bedroom. Days later, the woman

628
00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:44.519
became seriously ill and died. But
that' s not all. Animals from

629
00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:49.079
nearby farms were also dying from the
castle' s own cattle stock and some

630
00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:54.480
guards, who also died in rare
ways, had no obvious injuries, but

631
00:57:54.519 --> 00:58:00.920
had no blood either. And then
in the village. So there were attacks,

632
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:04.119
too, but people saw it that
guy. They knew who he was.

633
00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:07.480
They knew he was dead. So, one good day they went there

634
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:10.280
to look for him. In the
cemetery, in broad daylight, they removed

635
00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:15.599
the land, took out the box
and found the body of this perfectly preserved

636
00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:21.079
guy, not even swollen even green. It had been weeks and weeks since

637
00:58:21.159 --> 00:58:25.719
he was buried, and the subject
was intact with a blood thin. They

638
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:30.360
cut off his head, of course, and began to shed blood everywhere.

639
00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:36.960
Then they decided to burn it and
reduce it to ashes and scatter its ashes,

640
00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:43.599
so the problem disappeared, except that
the castle kept the legend of a

641
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:47.559
vampire who had been there. To
date, the castle remains the home of

642
00:58:47.639 --> 00:58:53.760
the Percy Persides of one thousand three
hundred and nine. Imagine you were the

643
00:58:53.800 --> 00:59:01.320
owners of this castle. The 12th
Earl of North Thunderland is now in place.

644
00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:07.840
So it' s a castle with
a crazy story, just to say

645
00:59:07.880 --> 01:00:00.639
goodbye this Saturday night, very good
night and rest in peace let' s

646
01:00:00.639 --> 01:00:00.280
go, Don
