These photos were taken at the Castle de la Rotta, near Turnin, Italy.  The castle has a long and rich history, which included many tragic deaths.  This is a listing of some of those deaths: The castle was occupied by the Knights Templar for over 200 years, until King Philip the IV of France decided in 1312 that they were getting too rich and powerful, so he ordered the Knight Templars to be hunted down as Heretics.  Many Knights were captured, tortured and burned at the stake as a result. In 1631, during the plague, over 300 bodies were buried under the castle. A 15 year old girl who was being forced to marry a former owner of the castle threw herself from the tower to her death on the day of her wedding.  Her wedding day was June 15^th (unknown year), and her ghost and the ghosts of her wedding guests have been known to show themselves on that day.  Her haunting is very chilling, as her screams can be heard as she throws herself from the tower. The current owner is Count Olivero, who restored one wing of the castle and lives there with his family.  He has also made the castle into a tourist spot, and encourages visits from ghost hunters and the media who may get lucky enough to capture something on film.  And lucky they have been. The first photo is that of a ghost that was physically seen walking to the chapel.  It was then caught on film. The second photo was captured by a television crew as the ghost emerged from a wall.  The popular belief is that this is the ghost of a Knight Templar. The last ghost photo shows a ghost wearing a heavy cross.  It is believed that his name is Arturo, and he is always seen galloping across the courtyard on a ghostly horse.  He wears a robe and heavy cross about his neck.  He has been sighted many times.  Oddly enough, in 1980, during excavation of the dried moat, the skeletons of a hooded man and horse were found.  Whether they were buried or dumped into the moat is unknown.  The man’s skeleton wore a heavy iron cross, and the third photo was snapped 2 days after the skeletons in the moat were discovered.
