Villa de Vecchi

Highlight • Historical Site

Those who are passionate about paranormal or ghostly stories will surely know or have heard of Villa de Vecchi, considered the "haunted house of Italy" and one of the 7 most visited in the world. Contrary to many legends surrounding other "infested places" or historical sites, what is said in the province of Lecco seems to be based on facts that have never really happened and that have earned the residence this bad reputation over the years to have. It is a shame because Villa de Vecchi was once one of the most magnificent places in the area ..... Everything is thanks to a legend that tells of tragic events that happened to the De Vecchi family and then hit the whole residence , It is said that one day when the count returned from a walk, his wife and daughter were brutally murdered in the Villa de Vecchi. Years later, when the landlord died, the house is said to have been struck by strange and disturbing paranormal estates that ruined the palace and the name De Vecchi. The legend has passed down so far that the English spiritualist Aleister Crowley organized dark esoteric rituals in it in the 1920s and spent two nights there. On the third day, the man is said to escape and complain about distracting attendances, including the inexplicable melody of a playing piano. This has probably become the most popular story over the years, and even today people claim to have heard playing the piano from outside the walls. The most worrying thing, however, is that there is indeed a piano in it, even if it is now destroyed, which has become the object of veneration for the haunted house. Source: curioctopus ... 👻🤗
