Ep 18: Ghosts of Italy Halloween Special

Send us a text

The Season 1 finale brings you five tales from Italy of ghosts, witches, murder, and plague.  Story-telling and folklore are essential aspects of Renaissance history and society. Many of the stories told on this episode are grounded in truth. Whether or not the supernatural lays its cold, chill hands upon these moments or not, is up to you.

Why is a disembodied head on the walls of Santa Maria Maggiore? How did the bones of 800 bodies come to decorate the Otranto Cathedral? What happened when the cruel culture of the Inquisition believed it found witches in Triora? All this, and more in this spine-tingling, hair-raising, heart-pounding Halloween special.
