Halloween in Vienna
For today's countdown to Halloween post I come back to my very first post of the month, when I shared the picture of a display window in Vienna. Because the display was gorgeous, for one, also because I was so glad to see that Halloween is getting traction on the continent. Austria is a great place to celebrate Halloween, I thought, but I also always thought Austria and Vienna especially are great places for old fashioned horror stories. It has been in the past, of course, I know of at least one anyway. Because of the architecture, the history, the atmosphere (not to mention the music), the city deserves its own critters and iconic supernatural villains. When I was in Vienna, I could not help but imagine what I could do with the setting, imagining malevolent presences and hapless victims. What do you think? And do you know of any horror stories, old or new, set in Vienna?

I have been to Vienna but unfortunately for me, did not experience any horror just beautiful architecture and yummy food.
I know that a White Lady ghost is supposed to haunt some of the buildings and castles of Vienna (The Hofburg Palace / St. Stephen's Cathedral)....don't know much about the place though, and I've never been!
It's a great photo!
