Villa de Vecchi
The abandoned "Ghost Mansion" was left to decay in the mountains of Northern Italy. 

Only east of Lake Como, settled against the forested piles of Cortenova, sits a house that is said to be spooky. Estate De Vecchi, on the other hand nicknamed the Red House, Ghost Mansion, and Casa Delle Streghe (The House of Witches), was worked between 1854-1857 as the mid year living arrangement of Count Felix De Vecchi. Inside a couple of brief long periods of its consummation the house saw a puzzling series of disasters that would perpetually concrete its gothic inheritance.
Tally Felix De Vecchi was leader of the Italian National Guard and an enhanced saint following Milan's freedom from Austrian principle in 1848. A well-perused and broadly voyage man, the Count set out to manufacture a fantasy withdraw for his family with the assistance of designer Alessandro Sidoli. 


Alessandro Sidioli kicked the bucket a year prior to the estate was finished, and many would later view his demise as the primary sick sign. By and by, the Count and his family made Villa De Vecchi their home amid the spring and summer months, and by most records lead a pure—if brief—presence.

Set inside a 130,000-square-meter park, the incredible house bragged a mix Baroque and Classical Eastern styles, and was equipped with all the cutting edge accommodations of the time including indoor warming funnels, dumbwaiters, and a substantial scale pressurized wellspring. The dividers and roofs were enlivened with meticulously point by point frescoes and friezes, and an overwhelming chimney directed the fundamental parlor where a stupendous piano remained primed and ready. Broad gardens and promenades adjusted the officially pleasant environment, and a similarly amazing staff house was manufactured.

At some point in 1862 the Count returned home to discover his significant other fiercely killed and girl missing. The Count put out a long, unsuccessful look for his girl, before submitting suicide that equivalent year.

The manor was then passed on to Felix's sibling Biago, whose later redesigns managed the expulsion of a significant part of the bequest's Eastern perspectives. Biago and his family kept on living on the grounds up until WWII, after which they abandoned for good. The house made the rounds of proprietors and planned purchasers, however by the 1960's was left forever uninhabited.

While the regular components started their ambush from the get-go, most of the relinquished house's irreversible harm has been finished by people. Spray painting covers the dividers, and anything equipped for being vandalized has been given its due makeover. Awful kid soothsayer Aleister Crowley supposedly put in a couple of evenings at the manor in the 1920's, which normally prompted an ascent in fan journeys. Bits of gossip about ceremonial blow-outs, penances (both creature and human), suicides, and murders flourish.

The fabulous piano, once said to be played around evening time by a spooky element, has since been crushed to pieces, however a few local people guarantee that music can at present be heard originating from the house.


Regardless of all characteristic and human endeavors to achieve its end, Villa De Vecchi perseveres. A torrential slide in 2002 wiped out the majority of the close-by houses, while the manor stayed immaculate.
