00:00My name is Max, and I'm a ghost tour guide of Prague.

00:08I've been living in this city my entire life,

00:11and today I would like to show you some of the

00:15horrible stories that have been living in this city

00:18for the past centuries.

00:20Here we are on Charles Square,

00:29and behind me is the Faust House,

00:32practically a medieval building.

00:34This house in Prague is known for its association

00:38with the devil and with the legend of the Faust.

00:42Different people throughout centuries have had

00:46that magical slash scholarly connection to this building.

00:51In particular, Jozef Grebiner,

00:54who was obsessed with morbid themes

00:57and had a collection of skulls and taxidermies.

01:07We still have the medieval ramparts preserved,

01:10and the street that is running just below them

01:13has a bad reputation.

01:16Many soldiers who patrolled here across the centuries

01:20have disappeared, and there are many different stories

01:24about how it happened.

01:26Some mention a silvery specter that is strangling people,

01:30and there are even stories of murder.

01:36Here we are at the St. Henry's Church.

01:38That church still has a cemetery around it,

01:41which maybe is the reason why this old Prague legend

01:44keeps on being vivid until today.

01:47A locksmith used to live in this parish.

01:50He had a young wife and a disciple,

01:52and they were cheating behind his back.

01:54And this wife eventually decided to murder her locksmith husband.

01:58She hammered a nail into his skull and married the disciple,

02:02but that locksmith never found his peace.

02:06These were three stories I would love to show you

02:10and tell you more.
