There are many deserted, creepy buildings on the map of Poland. One of them was once a house at Kosocicka Street in Krakow, which for many years was considered haunted. Is it because of the frightening inscriptions on the shabby walls? Or maybe the legends that circled the building? How much truth is there in the story that the locals have passed on to each other over the years? See the most haunted place in Krakow, which was supposedly the spooky house on Kosocicka Street.
On the outskirts of Krakow, and more precisely in the vicinity of Wieliczka, there used to be an abandoned, sinister-looking building. Residents told each other that this was where strange, inexplicable stories had happened over the years. All thanks to the legend of the house, which is not the most cheerful. There are many different theories around the building's dark aura, but each one relates to the terrifying events that allegedly took place there. It is difficult to verify which one is true. It is known, however, that something very bad happened in the house on Kosocicka Street.
There was also a small chapel on the plot where a haunted house once stood. It was probably the remains of the 19th-century cholera victims cemetery. Some say, however, that the chapel was built for completely different, unclear reasons. The story of the cursed building and the land on which the house stood began much earlier, however. In the 1970s, two brothers built a house on Kosocicka Street and a small greenhouse. It is said that the brothers quarreled with each other - allegedly arguing about a 16th-century treasure that they did not want to share. Unexpectedly, one brother murdered the other and then committed suicide. The ghosts of the brothers are said to live forever in the unfinished house, making themselves known every day to whoever looked inside the building.
It is known that similar tragedies take place every day. In Poland, you can find much darker stories of this type, as well as places shrouded in bad legends. The house at Kosocicka, however, attracted extremely evil powers. Inexplicable things were happening around the building all the time. Successive owners of the house disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and some visitors to the place a few days later… died.
When the information about the haunted house in Krakow surfaced to the media, the place began to be visited by crowds of tourists eager for extreme experiences. Some daredevils even dared to look inside the building. Those who penetrated the place inside said that they found strange altars inside, as well as devotional articles scattered around the ruins of the house. The walls inside were decorated with terrifying inscriptions that made even the brave shivers down the spine. The inhabitants of Krakow told tourists that two workers who were building a nearby road decided to spend the night at Kosocicka Street. The men, however, did not stay there too long - they fled in the morning, suffering a sudden panic attack.
The haunted house at Kosocicka Street has fired the imaginations of both inhabitants and travelers from Poland for many years. Those who managed to visit the house from the inside said that the house was truly haunted. Was it the effect of empty, dingy nooks and crannies of the building? Or maybe ropes hanging inside that suggested the worst? Well, unless they were hand-painted signs like "there will be more victims" or "I saw a ghost here"? Or maybe the result of a mysterious story that has not yet been confirmed by reliable historical sources? We'll probably never find out. All we know is that the house was once the biggest paranormal puzzle in the vicinity of Krakow.
It's hard to explain what really happened in the house at Kosocicka Street. Most sources indicate a fratricidal fight and suicide, as well as burying victims of the 19th-century cholera epidemic in this place. In 2016, the three-story building was razed to the ground, and with it the entire mystery of the walls of the haunted house was buried. Did the demolition of the building stop the ghosts allegedly circling around Kosocicka? In order to find the answer to this question, it will be worth coming to Krakow and seeing it for yourself.
There are a lot of places of this type that chill your blood in your veins in Poland. Oddly enough, many of them are located in the vicinity of Krakow. The building in Wieliczka at Dobczycka Street is just as mysterious as the house at Kosocicka. Apparently, a man who performed illegal abortions lived there. Then he burnt the fetuses in a huge bread oven, fragments of which could be found in the corner of one of the rooms. There is also an abandoned house in Głogoczów near Kraków, where a couple used to live. The husband abused his wife both physically and mentally. A man who had a psychopathic tendency one day killed his wife and married a younger woman, forgetting the case. The wife's ghost was said to haunt the house every day, wandering around it.
Another building was built in Kraków at Witkowicka Street. It was the only home on the so-called Łysa Góra. Residents believe that the first owner of the house was found dead in a ditch by the road - someone allegedly shot him. The house changed hands, but inexplicable things were happening all the time. One of the owners of the house at Witkowicka hanged herself in the barn, which made it difficult to sell the house to another family later.
The inhabitants of Krakow believe that the forest in Witkowice is a place even more haunted than the house on Kosocicka Street. In 2001, nine students went missing, who went to the forest to celebrate the beginning of the academic year. Nobody has ever solved the mystery of the disappearance of young people.
A few months later, a camera with a film with photos was found at the site of the event. After developing them, it turned out that in the photos no participants of the game resembled themselves. They all had strangely distorted faces, and the forest in Witkowice did not resemble the one well known to the inhabitants of Krakow. The students never came home again
