Un fantasma alle Canarie

There are places that aren't scary because something is happening. They're scary because it feels like something has already happened. Old houses, closed courtyards, stairs that lead down instead of up. And then there's that subtle, hard-to-explain feeling: not the feeling of being watched, but of having disturbed something. In La Laguna, in the heart of Tenerife, there's a house like this. Today it's a museum. By day, it's bright, elegant, bustling with schoolchildren and visitors. But at night—they say—it changes. Doors that close. Shadows that shouldn't be there. A presence that seems tied to an ancient, tragic story, never truly explained. A girl. A forced marriage. A well. It's the legend of Catalina Lercaro. Or at least... that's how it's told. But what happens when a story is so powerful that it outlasts even the facts? When a ghost seems more real than the person who supposedly created it? 00:00 - Intro 01:21 - Theme Song 01:46 - A Ghost in the Canary Islands 05:50 - A Haunted Museum? 12:00 - I'm Looking for Catalina 19:00 - The Astrophysicists Are Arriving 22:09 - A Recent Legend? 26:43 - Final Greetings 28:21 - Credits A heartfelt thanks to the voices dubbed in this episode: Tamara Fagnocchi, Edoardo Lomazzi, and Omar Maestroni.
