In
Italy
Calabria - In the mountains - Sometimes
you will see a white light glowing at night. Also people have reported
seeing a very pale women wearing a white dress walk around for about a
minute then disappear at about 12:00 at night.
Florence - Belvedere Fort-
On the other side of the Arno River lies a plot
developed only after the onset of the Industrial Revolution. Witches
were burned there at the stake; numerous incarcerations, exiles,
murders--during the night, the labyrinthine streets vibrate with
preternatural energy. Footsteps in the dark on an abandoned cobbled
street. Voices in empty alleyways; churchyards wherein one can see the
faint images of victims denied succor. The Belvedere Fort itself is a
brick edifice that had once divided the outlying country from the inner
city in the Middle Ages. Ghosts, shadows, wraiths walk beside the wall,
vanishing beneath the street lamps before reappearing anew in the
shadows. Children's laughter and singing.
Florence - Pensione
Burchianti - small, translucent, pinkish male
ghost has been seen in the frescoed room (the one in which Mussolini
once stayed), as well as the feeling of icy cold breath on people's
faces, the feeling of someone sitting on the bed when there's no one
there, and the feeling of being watched when there's no one there.
People have also reported seeing a child ghost wandering throughout the
halls, a maid ghost that will clean rooms at night, and an old knitting
woman sitting in a rocking chair. The owner of the pensione will not
stay there at night because of the hauntings.
Forio - Island of Ischia -
In an old villa at the end of Via Spinavola, on
Easter morning you will see a short looking ghost walk up the outside
stairs to the balcony. the story goes that the man that owned the home
in the 60`s committed suicide on Easter morning by drinking rat poison
because his gay friend left him for another man. The ghostly figure
appears short because in the late 70`s the 3rd floor was raised 18
inches during renovations.
Northern Italy - Lucedio
Monestary - This place is haunted by monks and
people who were sacrificed. There were footsteps heard, apparitions
were seen, sounds were heard.
Pensione - Burchianti -small, translucent, pinkish male ghost has been seen
in the frescoed room (the one in which Mussolini once stayed), as well
as the feeling of icy cold breath on people's faces, the feeling of
someone sitting on the bed when there's no one there, and the feeling
of being watched when there's no one there. People have also reported
seeing a child ghost wandering throughout the halls, a maid ghost that
will clean rooms at night, and an old knitting woman sitting in a
rocking chair. The owner of the pensione will not stay there at night
because of the hauntings.
Pompeii - Ancient Roman
city where a volcano erupted, burying the city killing 2,000 people in
ancient times. Screams, shadows, and sulfur have been smelled and seen
here.
Rome - The Coliseum - It had been reported at night, noises of swords
clashing, horses snorting and the sounds of chariots running at the
coliseum. One time as a woman was leaving at night, she felt her hair
being grabbed and pulled back into the coliseum.
Sicily - Palermo Catacombs
- the corpses hanging on the walls sometimes
faintly move. When you walk by them, they will be in one position, and
when you pass by them again. They will be moved. In one of the rooms,
you can here, whistling, talking and people talking amongst themselves.
You get a creepy feeling when you walk in the main door.
Venice - If you are not
careful while walking in small groups after dark, it is possible to get
trapped in a time loop. There are also many places where you can see
the ghosts of people lurking in the shadows, although they will usually
disappear when they realize that they have been seen.
Venice - Island of No
Return - Reports of voices, footsteps, sounds,
and an overall sense of evil permeates the island. Locals of the area
still will not journey there at night.
Venice - Poveglia - An island not open to tourists. Was originally a
self-governing island hundreds of years ago before being taken over by
Italy. When the black plague swept over the country, Poveglia was where
the dead bodies and even those who were still alive were dumped. They
were put into "plague pits" where hundreds or even thousands of bodies
and still-living victims of the disease were thrown in and either
buried, burned or just left in the open to rot. Centuries later, a
hospital was built by a doctor who tortured patients and who tried
experimental therapies of his own invention on mental patients. The
hospital, his office and the crematorium, still stands. The island is
used for farming only and no tourists are permitted on the island at
any time. Psychics have received special permission to visit and even
they were scared out of their minds.
