In the past weeks I've visited a haunted castle and an abandoned village. Apparently it's a good time for spooky adventures. And especially after the visit to Azzurrina's castle, I'm becoming convinced that this stuff is real! The castle provides scientific recordings of chanting and singing, which were taken during the night when no one was there. I wonder why ghosts feel more believable in Italy; possibly because the country itself is so full of ancient buildings and memories? (To be fair, the US is too; it's just that the people who could've taught us about the country's history pre-400-years-ago have been silenced and/or decimated.) Everything here seems to have a whole set of different meanings according to each century. It's good and philosophical, because it leaves lots of room for interpretation.
Well, bring on the ghosts. There are still 6 weeks left of summer; there's lots of time left.
