The Houska Castle

from Expanded Perspectives · host Expanded Perspectives

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys waste no time before getting into some strange encounters before Cam's segment on the mysterious Houska Castle.Some places are built to keep people out. Houska Castle may have been built to keep something in. Hidden in the forests of the Czech Republic, Houska Castle has puzzled historians for centuries. It has no obvious strategic purpose, no nearby water source, and no fortifications to defend against invaders. Instead, legend says it was built over a bottomless pit... a gateway to Hell itself.According to local folklore, twisted winged creatures once crawled from the darkness below, terrorizing the countryside until the castle was constructed to seal the opening forever. Over the centuries, visitors have reported hearing unexplained screams echoing through empty halls, shadowy figures watching from the corners, strange animal behavior, and an overwhelming feeling that they are not alone.Are these stories nothing more than medieval superstition? Or is there something beneath Houska Castle that was never meant to be disturbed?All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!Show Notes:Glimmer Man Book: Cloaked Beings That Move Among UsWant to Share Your Story?
