Castillo de Houska

añadido29 de agosto de 2026

Un castillo gótico de Bohemia, levantado en el siglo XIII en un sitio sin agua, sin caminos y sin población, es decir, sin ningún propósito militar ni económico. La leyenda lo explica por la capilla, que se alza justo sobre una sima tenida por entrada al infierno: a un condenado le prometieron la libertad por bajar, volvió con el pelo blanco y murió a los pocos días. El castillo está fortificado como si fuera contra algo de dentro y no de fuera.

Bunny Man Bridge

A single-track railway underpass in Fairfax County, Virginia, known locally as Bunny Man Bridge. The legend puts a man in a rabbit suit with an axe here. There is a real basis and it is a modest one: in October 1970 county police logged two reports of a man in a white suit with rabbit ears who swung an axe at people near their cars and broke a window in a house under construction. He was never found. In half a century two police reports have grown into hanged children, an escaped asylum patient and a compulsory visit to the bridge on Halloween night.

Folclore

Cropsey

A children's bogeyman with a hook, told on Staten Island for generations — until children began disappearing in the neighbourhood in the 1980s and it emerged that a former orderly from the abandoned Willowbrook school was living beside it. Willowbrook was a real institution, closed after a 1972 investigation exposed appalling conditions. A rare and unpleasant case of a local bogeyman and a documented local history meeting at the same point on the map.

Krasue

A flying woman's head with its viscera trailing beneath — one of the most recognisable images in mainland Southeast Asian folklore, known in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos under different names. By day she is an ordinary woman; at night the head detaches and goes looking for food. Her appearance was traditionally linked to night lights over rice paddies and to sickness in livestock. In Thailand she has been the subject of dozens of films and remains a living figure of popular culture rather than a museum entry.

The Pontianak

A woman who died in childbirth and came back for revenge — one of the central figures of Malay and Indonesian folklore. Her presence is identified by smell: first the sweetness of frangipani, then the smell of a corpse. She is held to live in banana trees, which is why they are not planted right against a house. The city of Pontianak in Borneo carries her name: by tradition its founder laid out the settlement on the spot where he drove these spirits off.
