On Friday 22st November at 30 pm the Sorci Castle opens to the public for a guided tour at night. Amos Cartabia as Cicero tells the secrets of those ancient walls.
Does the ghost of the castle really exist?
Amos Cartabia he is the author of books on Sorci Castle and its ghosts. Talking to me about his experience as a night guide on guided tours in the castle he says that does not believe in ghosts. On the other hand, Cartabia found himself casually involved in the whole story involving the fantastic Castle of Sorci and its events. In any case, he has been attending the castle for 17 years now. At the beginning followed Primetto Barelli, the one who bought the manor. With him he had built a relationship as a father and son almost. Today, however, the structure is managed by the three children, Alessandro, Alberto and Veronica. To tell the truth, there is always a lot of work at the castle, as well as handling the ghost legend. It is necessary to take care of the Locanda which is that very ancient structure which already in Baldaccio's time served as a horse exchange and tavern.
Something strange happens to the castle after dark
We come to the story of ghosts or presences or energy. What the author can confirm to me is that particular and sometimes even strong things happen inside. Cartabia talks about his experience as a connoisseur and guide of the Sorci Castle. Knowing the structure, even its secret passages and fake walls, Cartabia is able to recognize sounds. In fact it is able to understand when some noise is natural and when it is something inexplicable. So I asked if unexplainable things happen. The answer is yes. There are a lot of them, things ranging from the simplest noises in the walls or knocks against the walls to more meaningful things. Cartabia talks about things like screams and people who seem to run into salons. Equally there were manifestations like the images they have collected over time. Images that are similarly displayed when doing thenight opening of the structure.
During your visit to the castle, disturbing evidence will be revealed to you
One of the strongest images, shown up until last month, is the one in ultraviolet and infrared vision in Baldaccio's room. In this photo, in fact, a fragment appears with a shape of something that looks like a man lying on the bed. Cartabia also admits how the phenomena increased after Primetto's death. Currently, several occur throughout the day. According to experts ghost buster there are slight and imperceptible phenomena to the tourist. As with the earthquake, there are subtle micro shocks, then suddenly one or two of high power. On the other hand, it is these stronger manifestations that are felt and frightening.
The last one, which took place in September of this year and recorded, will be shown on the evening of November 1st during an opening of the Castle. Amos Cartabia admits that for him sleeping in the Castle it is a truly disturbing image. Likewise, for phenomena experts it is something very important. It is a clear image reflected in the mirror of the pink room, the noble room on the upper floors.
