Houses That Were Haunted

The burgher house at 50/I Smetanova Street, recorded as early as 1445 and once the place where seventeen-year-old B. Smetana performed, was haunted. Chains rattled on the stairs and in corridors, and unexplained sounds like a falling ball were heard. In neighbouring former Anichobrova Street, now Gottliebova, the house at 38/I with a stone doorway and Latin inscription had a nun’s ghost in its cellar. In the House of the Pangrls on the Small Square, ghosts of twelve dead councillors in old-fashioned clothes were also seen seated around a first-floor room. Unfortunately it was demolished in the late 1970s, and the district Hotels and Restaurants enterprise building now stands on the site. Surroundings:
