Parco Sempione (Simplon Park) is located in Milan, Italy. Here was located, in ancient times, a graveyard. Legend says a mysterious lady dressed in black wanders around the park at night, taking few chosen ones to a hidden place where passion and death intertwine. Truth or legend? This is the story of the ghosts that, for centuries, have been haunting the park in the heart of Milan.

From our homes to yours, we wish you a Happy Easter. We chose two words to guide you in these weird festive days...

His name was Athenodorus. His profession: philosopher.And with reason and courage, he faced what most would have fled from.
In this episode, we travel back to 1st century A.D., into a letter written by Pliny the Younger, where the story of the first haunted house in history was recorded.
A chilling tale of a chained ghost, an abandoned villa in Athens, and a man who dared to seek the truth.
This is not a legend. It’s one of the earliest written accounts of a haunting in Western literature.

In 1933, something mysterious crashed in the woods above a small village in Northern Italy.
The officials called it a military aircraft. But rumors quickly spread: maybe it wasn’t from Earth.
This case involved not only the fascist regime, but also one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century — Nobel Prize-winning scientist Guglielmo Marconi.
Documents, secrecy, and strange events turned this quiet village into the scene of what many believe to be the first UFO incident in European history.

A beautiful villa on the lake. Two lovers that still look for each other, after more than a century...even though death put them asunder. Condemned to never meet again. An intense and heartbreaking love story, with no happy ending.

In the early 1500s, long before the Holy Inquisition was officially established, a small village in Northern Italy became the scene of a chilling witch trial.
In Venegono Superiore, seven women were accused of witchcraft, imprisoned in the castle still standing above the town, and sentenced to die by fire.
Tortured, judged, and condemned — not by history’s better-known tribunals, but by local forces in the region of Seprio, Lombardy.
This haunting story reminds us how, sometimes, shadows take over before the world even realizes it’s gone dark.
