  Villages. Or any strategic importance.

  Its very existence raises more questions than it answers.
• 0:34
  Why would a king construct an immense fortress in the middle
• 0:38
  of nowhere? Why were its walls built?
• 0:41
  To guard the inside rather than protect against the outside.
• 0:45
  World. And why even now?

• 1:09
  Ancient Chasm. A pit so deep.
• 1:12
  That no bottom has ever been found.

• 2:37
  Hoska. Or Huska.
• 2:38
  Castle stands deep in the forest north of Prague, built in the
• 2:43
  mid 13th century under the reign of Bohemian King Otakar the
• 2:48
  Second, who reigned from 12:53 to 1278.
• 2:54
  Historians. Debate its exact.
• 2:56
  Founding some believe Otakar the Second ordered its construction
• 3:00
  around the. 1260s while others argue that it was built shortly
• 3:05
  after his death. By nobleman Hynek or Henry of
• 3:09
  Duba in the 12. 80s the first. Written record of.
• 3:14
  Huska. Dates to 1291, noting a royal.
• 3:18
  Berghov posted there. Uniquely.
• 3:21
  Huska. Castle was not established as a
• 3:23
  typical medieval. Fortress or feudal seed?
• 3:27
  It was set in a remote swampy woodland far from trade routes
• 3:32
  on a rocky. Cliff in.
• 3:33
  The Sudetes Mountains at completion, it had no occupants
• 3:39
  and seemingly no. Practical purpose it.
• 3:42
  Lacked external fortifications, had no.
• 3:45
  Water source except. A rain cistern and even lacked a
• 3:49
  kitchen its defensive walls. Curiously faced.
• 3:53
  Inward toward its central courtyard, an anomaly that later
• 3:58
  fed dark speculation. About what the castle was built
• 4:02
  to. Contain In the late 1200s and
• 4:06
  1300s, Huska came into the possession of the.
• 4:10
  Burka of Duba, aristocratic. Family Lord Hynek Burka and his
• 4:15
  sons held the castle through the 14th century, even expanding
• 4:20
  their domain, notably during the Huset.
• 4:23
  Wars. During the early 1400s.
• 4:27
  Huska saw little. Conflict or damage, its Lords
• 4:31
  remained neutral. And so the castle escaped the
• 4:34
  era. 'S widespread destruction over
• 4:37
  the 15th and 16th centuries, ownership passed among noble
• 4:42
  families and the. Structure received.
• 4:45
  Some Renaissance style. Updates.
• 4:47
  Between 1584 and 1590. However, Usko was.
• 4:53
  Never a bustling residence by the 1700s.
• 4:57
  It was largely. Abandoned a decaying.
• 5:00
  Relic overshadowed by? Grandeur Estates, a modest
• 5:06
  restoration in 1823, salvage the crumbling.
• 5:09
  Gothic architecture and later a. Wealthy aristocrat Princess
• 5:14
  Hohenlohe. Bought the castle.
• 5:17
  In 1897. In 1924.
• 5:21
  It was acquired by. Yosef Semenik, President.
• 5:25
  Of the Skoda. Works, who renovated it in 1929
• 5:30
  into 1930 and used it as a family retreat.
• 5:35
  Through all these centuries, Huska Castle remains strangely
• 5:39
  aloof from history's mainstream a quiet, brooding stone shell
• 5:45
  with an ominous reputation that. Far.
• 5:48
  Outweighed its modest role in politics or war.
• 5:53
  Local legend. Insists Huska Castle's true
• 5:56
  purpose. Was not defensive or
• 5:59
  administrative at all, but supernatural folklore dating
• 6:04
  back to its construction, claims the.
• 6:06
  Castle was built. To seal a yawning chasm in the
• 6:11
  bedrock. A bottomless.
• 6:13
  Pit that the locals believed was a gateway to hell itself.
• 6:20
  According to myth. Before the.
• 6:22
  Castle's foundation was laid. Villagers witnessed uncanny
• 6:26
  phenomena around. The rocky crevice.
• 6:30
  Winged creatures and half human monsters.
• 6:34
  Were said to crawl out of the gaping.
• 6:36
  Hole at night and strange beasts.
• 6:40
  Proud the woods. Leaving blood trails in their
• 6:44
  wake, the pit appeared endlessly deep.
• 6:48
  Attempts to fill it with rocks never reached a bottom.
• 6:52
  Terrified peasants whispered that dark demonic forces
• 6:56
  emanated from this crack in the earth that they often time
• 7:01
  heard. Whispers.
• 7:03
  Coming from it when the Crown decided.
• 7:06
  To build a. Castle on the spot Legend has it
• 7:09
  that condemned prisoners were recruited in the most horrifying
• 7:14
  way. Chronicles say that during
• 7:17
  construction, prisoners sentenced to death were.
• 7:19
  Offered a full. Pardon if they.
• 7:22
  Agreed to be lowered by rope. Into the dreaded hole and
• 7:26
  report. What lay below?
• 7:29
  The first volunteer, a young man, was lowered down as
• 7:33
  onlookers watched in tense silence.
• 7:37
  Within moments, he emitted a blood curdling scream.
• 7:42
  The workers hastily hauled. Him up and found the man in a
• 7:46
  state of utter madness in the few seconds underground.
• 7:52
  His hair had. Turned white and his skin
• 7:56
  wrinkled. As though he had aged decades.
• 8:00
  Raving about. Grotesque creatures.
• 8:03
  And unbearable darkness. He could hardly speak before.
• 8:08
  Collapsing. Some versions say he.
• 8:11
  Died a couple days later. Still in terror?
• 8:16
  Needless to say. No other prisoner volunteered to
• 8:19
  descend after that, and the gaping Hellmouth was swiftly.
• 8:24
  Covered over. Massive stone slabs.
• 8:27
  Were used to cap the pit. And Huska's Chapel.
• 8:31
  Was built directly above. That infernal opening.
• 8:34
  As a. Sacred seal, tellingly.
• 8:38
  The Chapel was dedicated to. Archangel Michael, the commander
• 8:42
  of Heaven's. Forces who cast.
• 8:44
  Down Lucifer, A fitting guardian to stand watch.
• 8:49
  Over a supposed gateway to hell. Many.
• 8:52
  Eerie tales grew. From this foundation it was said
• 8:56
  that once. Huska Castle's.
• 8:57
  Walls encased the pit. The nightly sightings of winged
• 9:01
  demons ceased, as if the evil had been trapped.
• 9:06
  Below, still ghosts. And unnatural creatures remained
• 9:11
  part of. Huska's lore a black.
• 9:14
  Robed monk spirit is rumored to roam near the Chapel, charged
• 9:19
  with ensuring the demons stay sealed in.
• 9:22
  Other reported apparitions include a giant bullfrog human
• 9:27
  hybrid hopping in the. Courtyard a headless horse.
• 9:31
  Trotting the castle, and even an old Crone who silently prowls.
• 9:38
  The corridors, locals. And nearby villages long.
• 9:42
  Avoided the castle. Believing only malevolent things
• 9:45
  dwelt there, some claim to hear inhuman screams or a furious
• 9:51
  scratching sound under the. Chapel floor.
• 9:55
  As if something underneath was desperately clawing at the
• 9:59
  stones in the 17th century during the.
• 10:03
  Chaotic 30 years war Husca acquired.
• 10:07
  A new dark tale A roving Swedish mercenary knight named Oronto
• 10:13
  allegedly took up residence in the abandoned castle, drawn by
• 10:18
  its sinister reputation. Oronti was said to practice
• 10:22
  black magic and alchemy within Huskis walls, attempting to
• 10:27
  harness infernal powers and concoct an elixir of eternal
• 10:32
  life. He conducted bizarre experiments
• 10:35
  at night, possibly trying to tap the dark energy of the sealed
• 10:40
  pit below. Oronto's Occult.
• 10:43
  Activities so terrified. The countryside that According
• 10:47
  to legend, 2 local hunters stormed the castle one night and
• 10:52
  assassinated him in his. Laboratory.
• 10:56
  Putting an end to whatever unholy rites he was conducting,
• 11:01
  Aronto's death did not. Dispel Huskas aura of dread.
• 11:05
  However, if anything, it reinforced the idea that only
• 11:10
  those with evil intent would dare dwell there.
• 11:15
  Another famous story emerged in the 19th century.
• 11:20
  In 1836, the renowned. Czech poet, Carol.
• 11:24
  Hynek Macha. Supposedly.
• 11:27
  Spent a night in Huska Castle which was then in ruins.
• 11:32
  Macha later. Wrote a letter.
• 11:33
  Describing A terrifying vision he experienced there, he dreamt.
• 11:39
  That he discovered a dark. Hole in.
• 11:41
  Huska's courtyard. And upon peering in, was
• 11:45
  suddenly transported into a strange realm.
• 11:49
  He found himself in the. City of Prague.
• 11:52
  But it was in the far. Future the poet.
• 11:55
  Wandered a Prague choked and smog filled with mechanized
• 12:01
  monstrosities of technology under a.
• 12:03
  Dark sky. In this nightmarish futuristic
• 12:07
  vision. So the story goes.
• 12:10
  A young girl approached and cryptically told him that he was
• 12:15
  in. A little hell.
• 12:17
  Of his own time, Macha then saw glowing lights and sandstone.
• 12:23
  Cliffs. Eerily.
• 12:25
  Resembling modern apartment blocks before awakening back in
• 12:30
  the castle, he was. Deeply disturbed.
• 12:33
  And strikingly Macha. Died shortly.
• 12:36
  After this incident. At the age.
• 12:39
  Of only 25. This tale.
• 12:42
  Has LED some to speculate that the gateway under Huska may not
• 12:47
  only lead to hell. But perhaps.
• 12:50
  To other dimensions or times offering fodder.
• 12:55
  For the. Castle's Mystique.
• 12:57
  As a place. Where the normal laws of reality
• 12:59
  fray over the centuries, Huska's sinister legends have.
• 13:04
  Persisted the chapel's faded facade.
• 13:08
  Fuels imagination. 114th century painting.
• 13:13
  Bizarrely depicts a. Centaur like female creature
• 13:17
  aiming a bow with her left hand and left-handed figures were
• 13:21
  often associated with the devil and medieval lore.
• 13:25
  This. Pagan image, among otherwise
• 13:27
  Christian murals of Saints and angels, is often pointed out as
• 13:32
  evidence of the castle's arcane purpose.
• 13:36
  An unresolved mystery on the. Chapel Wall.
• 13:40
  To this day, local folklore holds that Huska was.
• 13:43
  Built to keep something in and the bizarre myths of half animal
• 13:48
  demons, ageless prisoners, phantom monks and time twisting
• 13:54
  visions have made Huska one of Europe's most notorious
• 13:58
  supernatural sites. Despite its.
• 14:02
  Ghostly reputation. Huska.
• 14:04
  Castle mostly slumbered through the 1800s and early 1900s.
• 14:10
  As a private. Estate that changed with the
• 14:13
  outbreak. Of World War 2.
• 14:16
  After National Socialist Germany occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939,
• 14:22
  the German army, the Wehrmacht. Seized Huska.
• 14:26
  Castle and held it through the war until 1940. 5 because Huska
• 14:32
  had. No strategic military value.
• 14:35
  It's remote and not on transport routes.
• 14:38
  Its occupation immediately sparked rumors.
• 14:42
  Locals observed that the castle was heavily.
• 14:45
  Guarded by Nazi s s units and off limits, and they reported
• 14:50
  strange lights and noises emanating from it at night.
• 14:55
  Whispers spread. That the Nazis were conducting
• 14:58
  secret experiments inside. Huska's thick walls, perhaps?
• 15:03
  Delving into the. Occult lore of the gateway to
• 15:06
  Hell. Beneath the Chapel, some
• 15:10
  speculated that their scientists were trying to harness demonic
• 15:13
  powers or even reopen the pit to.
• 15:16
  Hell. In hopes of exploiting
• 15:19
  supernatural forces to win the war others.
• 15:23
  Believed the castle. Might have been.
• 15:25
  Used for esoteric research or. Developing paranormal weapons.
• 15:31
  These theories though. Fantastical resonated.
• 15:35
  Because the regime notably pursued.
• 15:37
  Occult artifacts. Like the Holy.
• 15:39
  Grail and Spear of Destiny and arcane research in various.
• 15:45
  Parts of Europe, specifically the Schuchstafel or the S s what
• 15:51
  was really? Happening at Huska during World
• 15:53
  War 2, Hard evidence is scarce and many records.
• 15:58
  Were lost or destroyed. But some documents.
• 16:01
  Have surfaced. In 1940.
• 16:04
  Three the. German Rs.
• 16:06
  HA or? Reichmane Security office
• 16:10
  converted. Huska Castle.
• 16:11
  Into a secret repository codenamed Bergen too, the castle
• 16:17
  became one of four sites in northern Bohemia.
• 16:20
  Used to store archives. And confiscated collections from
• 16:24
  Europe. Specifically truckloads of.
• 16:27
  Books and files removed from bomb threatened libraries in
• 16:32
  Berlin and Hamburg and stashed at Huska.
• 16:36
  Notably among these were volumes on Jewish mysticism and Masonic
• 16:41
  lore, materials the Nazis had seized, possibly including the.
• 16:46
  Cold texts. This fuels the idea that Huska's
• 16:50
  overseers. Were indeed pouring over.
• 16:53
  A cold literature. According to later testimonies
• 16:57
  and legend, some evidence was found after the war.
• 17:01
  Such as a cachet of old books. On the Black Arts reportedly
• 17:05
  left behind and even skeletons of German soldiers hidden under.
• 17:11
  Floors said. To have been executed by their
• 17:14
  own and ritualistic killings. It's hard to verify.
• 17:19
  Such claims, but they have become a part of Huska's haunted
• 17:23
  legacy. The notion that rituals.
• 17:27
  Took place. Under the National.
• 17:29
  Socialist flag locals. Noted that the Nazis mined the
• 17:33
  perimeter of the. Castle heavily.
• 17:35
  Which they interpret. As the.
• 17:37
  Occupiers wanting to protect something in Huska more than an
• 17:40
  ordinary site. Even as Allied victory drew
• 17:44
  near. When the Germans finally fled in
• 17:47
  1945, they left behind an aura of mystery that only magnified.
• 17:53
  Huska's dark. Legend in the modern era.
• 17:57
  After World War 2, Huska Castle was.
• 18:00
  Returned to the Simon Eck family, but under Communist rule
• 18:04
  in Czechoslovakia. It was seized by the state.
• 18:08
  In the 1950s. The castle was repurposed as a.
• 18:11
  Repository once again, this time holding.
• 18:15
  Archives for Prague. 'S National Library.
• 18:19
  By the 1970s, a chemical company even planned to.
• 18:23
  Use Huska as a workers. Recreation Center or sanatorium?
• 18:28
  A strange fate, surely, for a place considered a portal to
• 18:31
  hell. That plan never fully
• 18:34
  materialized. But a curious.
• 18:37
  Event did occur in 1970. 4 the Czech.
• 18:41
  Underground rock band. The plastic.
• 18:44
  People of the Universe dissident artists managed to record a live
• 18:49
  album inside the Empty castle, taking advantage of the
• 18:52
  acoustics and seclusion the fact that a counterculture band.
• 18:57
  Sought out Huska. Only adds to its quirky modern
• 19:00
  history following the fall of communism in 1989.
• 19:05
  Husca was. Again given back to its rightful
• 19:08
  owners, the Simonic descendants, who then overtook restorations
• 19:14
  by 1999. The castle was.
• 19:17
  Open to the. Public.
• 19:18
  For the first time in its existence, Taurus now walk its
• 19:23
  courtyard and Chapel freely, but many swear that an oppressive
• 19:27
  atmosphere lingers indeed. Post war visitors.
• 19:32
  And staff have continued to report unearthly experiences,
• 19:38
  apparitions and uniforms, unexplained blood stains
• 19:42
  appearing and disappearing, and a pervasive feeling that unseen
• 19:48
  eyes are watching from dark corners.
• 19:51
  Even after surviving real world wars and decades of neglect,
• 19:57
  Huska's malevolent reputation has only grown stronger.
• 20:02
  In recent decades, Hoska Castle has become a magnet for
• 20:06
  paranormal investigators, researchers and thrill seekers.
• 20:10
  Drawn by its ghost stories. Television crews from around the
• 20:14
  world have descended upon Hoska to explore its gate to Hell law.
• 20:20
  In 2009, the American team from Ghost Hunters International
• 20:24
  filmed an episode on site. They documented the castle's
• 20:29
  creepy vaults and the Chapel. You'll find that in Season 2,
• 20:32
  Episode 3, titled Gates to Hell, the investigators experienced
• 20:38
  battery drains on their equipment and eerie audio
• 20:42
  recordings. One EVP that's electronic voice
• 20:46
  phenomena captured a guttural voice in an empty cell, and team
• 20:52
  members reported feeling sudden chills in the Chapel despite the
• 20:56
  summer heat, as mentioned in the episode.
• 21:00
  The following year in 2010, the UK's Most Haunted broadcast a
• 21:05
  live overnight investigation from Hosker.
• 21:08
  That crew also described disembodied footsteps and a
• 21:13
  phantom figure in black seen fleetingly on the Chapel stairs
• 21:20
  by 2013. A French paranormal series.
• 21:23
  RIP Rosacea Investigations Paranormal came to Hoska to
• 21:29
  probe the Hellgate legend. Each team left with intriguing,
• 21:34
  if inconclusive evidence and explained shadows on video,
• 21:38
  mysteriously moving objects, and audio anomalies.
• 21:44
  While skeptics might attribute these to the power of
• 21:47
  suggestion, even hardened investigators admitted Hoska
• 21:51
  gave them the creeps. More than most locations, local
• 21:56
  Czech researchers have also studied Hosker's hauntings.
• 22:01
  In 2014, a collaboration of Czech paranormal investigators
• 22:05
  conducted an extensive overnight vigil inside the castle.
• 22:10
  They had support from a Prague television crew, and they
• 22:14
  treated Hosker as Case 7 in their files.
• 22:18
  And during this research, multiple cameras and sensors
• 22:21
  were set up from dusk until dawn.
• 22:25
  The results were unsettling. 1 stationary camera was found
• 22:30
  inexplicably moved from its original position while no one
• 22:34
  was in the room. Loud bangs echoed in the Chapel
• 22:37
  around 3:00 AM, the so-called Devil's Hour.
• 22:42
  It woke a journalist who was sleeping there.
• 22:43
  As a test, investigators even found scratch marks on one team
• 22:48
  member's back the next morning, which he couldn't explain.
• 22:52
  Another reported a sudden burning pain in his chest in the
• 22:57
  middle of the night, and a red Welt appeared, only to vanish
• 23:01
  without a trace by the time they left the castle.
• 23:05
  Technical difficulties plagued the investigation as well.
• 23:10
  A full 14 hours of infrared video footage inexplicably
• 23:14
  corrupted on the storage drive, almost as if whatever lurks in
• 23:19
  Hosker did not want to be recorded.
• 23:23
  And yet the team did capture several clear Evps. 1 recording
• 23:27
  from the Chapel contained a deep voice speaking in what sounded
• 23:31
  like an archaic dialect of German or Latin, and the word
• 23:35
  seraph, meaning an angelic being, was discerned in the
• 23:40
  whispering mix. Such findings have only cemented
• 23:45
  Hoska's status among paranormal enthusiasts as one of the
• 23:49
  world's most active haunted sites.
• 23:53
  Visitors and staff continue to witness inexplicable phenomena.
• 23:59
  Castle guides have testified to seeing a faceless, dark figure
• 24:05
  in a monks robe gliding along the Chapel corridor.
• 24:09
  Presumably it's the legendary guardian in black keeping
• 24:13
  eternal watch. Tourists frequently feel dizzy
• 24:19
  or oppressed near the chapel's crypt, and some faint upon
• 24:23
  peering down the grated hole that legend calls the Bottomless
• 24:27
  Pit. In the courtyard.
• 24:30
  People have reported encounters with spectral animals, a giant
• 24:35
  black hound like beast that vanishes as one approaches it,
• 24:40
  and even flocks of dead birds found inexplicably strewn about
• 24:45
  after nights of stormy weather. Nearby woods are the scene of
• 24:50
  alleged sightings of hybrid creatures reminiscent of old
• 24:53
  myths. Half human, half dogs flitting
• 24:59
  between the trees at twilight. The sound of horses hooves echo
• 25:03
  on occasion, even though no horses have been at Hoska for
• 25:06
  decades, brings to mind the fabled headless horse.
• 25:11
  There are also modern reports of a ghostly woman in an old
• 25:15
  fashioned dress sobbing in the castle's green chamber and an
• 25:21
  apparition of a headless man in a blood stained shirt stumbling
• 25:26
  and near the gatehouse, possibly a victim of some forgotten
• 25:30
  mediaeval crime reenacting his death.
• 25:34
  Hosker Castle today capitalizes on its chilling legends.
• 25:38
  It hosts regular tours and even paranormal investigation nights.
• 25:43
  And yet, despite the crowds that now roam its once forbidden
• 25:48
  halls, many attest that when you find yourself alone in a corner
• 25:53
  of Hosker, an unsettling silence falls and the hair on your arms
• 26:00
  prickle. It's as if the castle remembers
• 26:04
  its ancient duty to stand God over an unspeakable darkness,
• 26:13
  and that memory permeates the stone.
• 26:16
  From its Gothic birth as a seal on hell, through centuries of
• 26:21
  ghost stories, to Nazi era mysteries and cutting edge ghost
• 26:26
  hunts, Hosker Castle offers an unparalleled tapestry of history
• 26:32
  and horror. It's chronicle interweave's
• 26:35
  verified facts with vivid folklore, providing rich
• 26:40
  inspiration for many supernatural tales.
• 26:44
  As one modern visitor put it, after a long midnight vigil
• 26:48
  within Hoska's castle, they said you leave this castle with the
• 26:52
  uneasy feeling that something followed you out.
• 26:56
  A sentiment that encapsulates why Hoska's legacy endures.
• 27:02
  Each era of Hoska's story, from medieval chronicles to modern
• 27:07
  ghost hunts, contributes a chapter to what is ultimately
• 27:10
  the enduring enigma of Hoska Castle, a place where history
• 27:16
  and the supernatural are inextricably entwined.
• 27:21
  Hoska. Castle stands still, brooding
• 27:24
  against the cold winds that sweep the Czech wilderness, a
• 27:29
  silent guardian. Or perhaps a silent.
• 27:34
  Jailer, it's ancient stones are weathered but unbroken.
• 27:39
  It's dark halls echo with. Centuries of whispered.
• 27:44
  Prayers desperate. Bargains and unseen.
• 27:48
  Footsteps that. Seem to trace the same doomed
• 27:51
  paths again and again. The bottomless pit beneath its
• 27:57
  Chapel remains sealed for now. Visitors come and go, some
• 28:03
  leaving with heavy hearts, some never able to explain the
• 28:08
  nightmares that follow them. Home equipment.
• 28:12
  Fails. Lights flicker, Voices whisper.
• 28:16
  In languages no human tongue has spoken in centuries, and always
• 28:24
  deep beneath the worn flags. Of the Chapel floor, something
• 28:28
  stirs it. Waits.
• 28:31
  Time has marched past Huska Castle.
• 28:34
  Kingdoms have risen and fallen, Wars have come and gone.
• 28:40
  Yet the darkness here remains untouched, patient, eternal, and
• 28:47
  perhaps hungry. The question has never been
• 28:52
  whether the. Legends are true.
• 28:55
  The real. Question is this how long can
• 28:58
  the? Seal Hold.
• 29:00
  And if it should. Break.
• 29:02
  What might crawl free into the world once more?
• 29:08
