Ghost-walk in Old Town

Old Town organizes a ghost walk every evening, the tour guide talks about ghosts, murders, mysteries, poltergeists and legends from Stockholm old town. The guide was really a great actor and scared most of the people while we were on the tour. It was also a great history lesson of the old town. Can warmly recommend it for anyone! The office where you can sign up for the tour is just next to the German church in old town. 

Saint Goran and the battle of Brunkeberg - 1471 The Swedes won on the third attack against the Danish and raised this statue as a sign of victory

Stockholms smallest statue, it's said that if you leave a personal beloning and pet the boys head it gives you great luck and fortune. Guide told us that the Asian people believe the legend and usually leaves a lot of coins (which the who ever travel guide is with them picks up later)

 A cannon ball in the wall? From a battle maybe? No, it was actually put there by a resident when the house was build

 This was called the alley of "hell". All murderers, criminals and bad people used to live in the little alley. Something you wanted to avoid at all cost 600 years ago. 

 The plague killed about 1/3 of the people in Stockholm. The reason for the plague were the rats, in the tour the guide told us to pick up a rat from the bag....but there was just candy in the purse. Most of the people were terrified of rats :P

 To start the tour come here, its the building here to the left

 Tales about the castle: The architect  of the castle never got to see it finished himself, some small dude told him in the middle of the night that he is doomed and all of his family too. The unknown person who told him this was right, de died in a disease and so did his son before the castle was finished. A curse? Or just bad luck, who knows.... 

The German church old crypt. But because the population was growing the room became too full of coffins and dead people, a solution was needed. After bodies has rotted the bones were put in the room next door. The reason why the bodies were not buried was because at that time only Swedish people were allowed to be buried in Swedish ground. 

The bone room. This room was filled with bones up to the roof! Also, they discovered a crypt that was not marked on any blueprint behind the small door (it was carved later on) you can see. It was not discovered until 1991 and then the body was moved to the normal cemetery.
