The horrors of old Tallinn

Whether it’s true or not, our city has not been spared by horror stories. Here, for example, in the house under the unfortunate number 13 on the street. Toomkooli. All of the guests who dared to spend the night there were visited by the ghost of a terrible woman, and many lost consciousness from her kiss. Or the tragic story of a monk in love that happened on the street. Lai 29. Until now, residents with shuddering say that someone invisible often wanders in the house and shuffles his legs. Many medieval towers are preserved in our city and they are silent witnesses of what happened there at different times. But people pass on from generation to generation what they saw. One of the towers - Marstallturme still enjoys a bad reputation. There were ghosts in this tower, and all those who were imprisoned there for misdeeds were mocked. It is even known that the townspeople had to intercede for one unfortunate person who was serving a sentence there. The excited crowd demanded his immediate release and the city government had to yield. These are some examples from a long list of scary stories. Believe it or not.
