#buchlov

- one of the owners, Jindřich Prakšický, was found stabbed with his own sword and the murderer never found, but it was probably his wife Kateřina Rájecká

- she may be the ghost "the Dark Lady" that haunts one of the rooms

- the Dark Lady might also be lady Hildegarde who murdered her sister so she could marry her husband. when he found out she was the murderer, he stabbed her to death

- the room also has a real Egyptian mummy that allegedly radiates extremely negative energy (I would too if someone robbed my grave and sold me to a different continent to some rich fuck as a wedding gift)

- it' said there is a ghost of a knight from a nearby castle who used to kidnap women. one day his castle suddenly exploded and they found several skeletons in the ruins. the ghost then apparently decided to move to Buchlov

- one of the owners, Leopold I Berchtold was obsessed with medicine because when he was young, his brother died of the plague and was buried, but when the tomb was reopened, they found his body by the entrance with chunks bitten out of the arm so they assumed he was buried alive. this traumatized him for life

- Leopold then established a "needle test" where a needle was driven through a corpse's heart before burial to make sure it's dead

- he also came up with several safety measures for various professions, established mandatory smallpox vaccines (in the 1800s) and founded a hospital free for all patients regardless of class. this nearly drove him bankrupt

- it is said there are three different treasures buried somewhere near or under the castle
