One of the most infamous castles with a creepy reputation with werewolf stories is Moosham Castle, in Salzburg, Austria. The castle's first documented deed was in 1191 that was built on the site of a Roman fortress. This castle had always been haunted full of ghosts but throughout history, it's been the place of horrible violence. Conflicts and warfare such as the third crusade, the crusade of 1197, the fifth crusade, Austrian-Hungarian war, the Flemish Revolt, the German Peasants War and the Italian Wars. Centuries ago many witches were tortured and put to death in this location. In the 1800's a lot of animals were found dead around the castle, all of them mutilated and eaten. It was pointed out that some individual people living nearby were to blame, as they were believed to be bloodthirsty werewolves. Soon they were all rounded up and thrown into the dungeon of the castle, where they died. The eerie noises of howling could always be heard some nights.
Today Moosham Castle is an interesting place to visit. This place is on my bucket list. If you want to see it and enjoy the ghosts and bloody history tour and hope to find a werewolf, visit this page at Dark Tourists.
