Château de Commarque, Les Eyzies 🇫🇷

In the Périgord, an ancient region of France that corresponds roughly with the modern Dordogne department, the Château de Commarque constituted an important strategic location during the Hundred Years’ War. It was also the site of one of the conflict’s most brutal battles, the tragedy of which has echoed down the ages. During the fight, the young love of the Earl of Commarque’s daughter was beheaded. However, it is not the ghost of the young man that wanders the ruins, but that of his horse, locked in a perpetual search for its master.

Sanatório de Valongo, Valongo 🇵🇹

Being a Sanitarium from 1910, it was built to hold 50 patients who suffered from tuberculosis. Unfortunately this number rapidly grew to 150, as the epidemic known as the ‘white plague’ grew. This number then grew to 500, where these patients roamed the halls, lost, as there was no cure for this disease, and one by one they all died.

These souls are said to haunt the corridors, with visitors and passers-by said to hear the hallow cries of pain and see swift movements in the shadows.

Cortijo Jurado, Málaga 🇪🇸

The legend begins after the death of the patriarch of the Heredia family. With the new inheritors of the property, young girls began to disappear in the surrounding area between 1890 and 1920; they were supposed to die after suffering supposed humiliations and rituals of a satanic nature. Some of the young bodies were later found along the shores of the Campanillas River, not far from the farmhouse.
