It is said that he persecuted several houses around the Kleinbasel district in Basel, Switzerland, a terrifying spirit known as gray, he wandered on the street. Especially in the undressed house at Claraplatz, two little girls had to endure his persistent visiting.
At the main square of Kleinbasel, today's lively Claraplatz is humming the known rhythm of the city's life. Clara's district is the smallest district of Basel. The name comes from the church of Clara and Claraplatz in front of him, which were part of the former monastery of St. Clara. Copwars, people commuting to work and cafes go without thinking about what once stood in this area, which are a long -term Opat Court (Egobtissinnenhof), eternal stones whose Stones survived in the one whose sejże moves from their lives.
Long before dismantling in 1951, the abbey court was known for his disturbing presence, which is said to be in its walls. The house had a ghost, one so persistent and clear that he won the name whispered in both tenements and taverns: “der graue”, gray.
Spirit in a Franianian outfit
The most documented visits took place in the nineteenth century, when the Schetty family lived in the rooms of the Opatów court. Commander of the fire brigade, Joseph Schetty from the wealthy Jedwabne-Dyer family, moved to the house with his family. And soon gray appeared.
The ghost appeared as a grim figure dressed in a time-honored franon costume with a triangle hat. His most disturbing feature was the woven wig, which he wore on his head, a strange, almost theatrical accessory, which made his silent materialization even more disturbing. His elegant fastened shoes moved around the house, sneaking with chains, and his voice only unhappy moaning through the house and the surrounding area.
It is not certain who was the man's spirit. However, apparently this spirit of the house had its roots at a time when Samuel Werenfels gave the Opatów court in the baroque performance in 1748. It also seems that the haunting began before the family of Schetty's family also home.
Gray was the creation of a habit and it seems that disturbing intentions. His favorite place was the bedroom of two juvenile daughters of Schetta, where he appears without warning, standing quietly in impoverished lithe, a spectral observer from another age.
When he appeared in their room, staring at them from the bends, the younger sister tried to hide under the covers, when the oldest shouted the pious return to the spirit, seemingly offending the spirit that would disappear into the air when he heard him.
It seemed that the fear he kept over the girls slowly gave way. One evening, one of the daughters was sewing in the living room when she suddenly put her hand on her shoulder and said in a harsh voice: “Who is this mess behind me?”
She knew it was a gray man. But her fear turned into anger and she just looked at him. It made him disappear, at least for a moment.
He is touched in the attic of gray
When he was overwhelmed by a foul mood, regardless of whether they were moved by behavior of the living or some archaic complaint lost in time, gray would withdraw to the attic of the house. There, at a dead night, he felt dissatisfied with a noisy, relentless rumbling, which echoed through the house, keeping the Schetta family with a strange, unearthly knocking of chains or moving the furniture.
These disturbances became so known that even the typical skeptical towns of Basel began to whisper about the restless spirit of the house at Claraplatz. At the end it was decided that they had to do something to hold it. According to legend, they decided to paint the pentagram on the threshold of the house. But did it really hold him?
Heritage of visas
The legend was brought by a stranger after the death of Joseph Schetty, a patriarch of a household who tried to throw away the haunting of his daughters when he lived. It was said that he also committed himself to an archaic residence after death.
According to one lasting story, the cleaning maid worked at home a few years later after his death. She claimed that Józef's spirit was solemnly sitting in his venerable study. The room was empty, and yet it sat there as an uncertain shade among the flickering lamp.
She continued cleaning the room without worrying about his spirit, perhaps thinking that he was only a guest in the study. But when she tried to pull the fur from his feet to brush him, he gave her a livid look. Apparently he wanted to be alone.
Ghosts at Claraplatz
Although the abbey court was demolished in 1951, the legends did not completely disappear with the stones. The locals claimed that for many years after the death of the building, strange phenomena occurred nearby: Phantom Setle, inexplicable knocking and a fleeting look of the gray form moving on the reflection or shadow of the corner, especially near venerable foundations.
Today, Claraplatz has no similarity to its ghostly past when the haunted house was demolished and replaced by a state-of-the-art residential and commercial building. Modern shops and trams now include venerable land. But for those who adapted to such things, a sense of something ongoing, presence outside reason and sometimes, sometimes seems to cling to night air.
