The Haunted Castle with a Tragic Past

Ever heard of a castle where the walls whisper at night?

Welcome to Houska Castle in the Czech Republic—built over a mysterious hole said to be a gateway to

Hell.

Locals claim screams echo from the pit, and strange winged creatures once emerged.

The castle wasn’t built for defense—it was built to keep something in.

Legend says the first prisoner lowered into the pit emerged moments later—screaming, aged decades, and covered in deep

scratches.

Monks sealed the hole with heavy stone, and the chapel was built directly above it.

But visitors still report cold spots, disembodied voices, and shadowy figures lurking just beyond the edge of vision.

During World War II, the Nazis occupied the castle, drawn by its occult reputation.

They conducted secret experiments and rituals, hoping to harness dark powers.

After the war, locals found animal bones, strange symbols, and scorched walls.

Some believe the rituals awakened something that never left.

Paranormal investigators still report bizarre electromagnetic readings.

But the most tragic tale is of a young noblewoman who fell in love with a servant.

When their affair was discovered, he was executed, and she threw herself from the tower.

Her ghost is said to wander the halls, weeping.

Visitors claim to hear her sobs and feel a sudden chill when she passes.
