There is a castle in the forest of the Czech Republic,
and it is said that a portal
to hell itself exists beneath its foundation.
So join us as we dive into the spine-chilling mystery of Huska Castle,
here on Mystery Archives.
30 miles north of Prague, in the cold forested mountains,
lies an ancient stone fortress known as Huska Castle.
Its foreboding walls tower over travelers,
with fake windows dotting its gray exterior.
The castle was supposedly built at the order of Ottokar II
of Bohemia during his reign in the late 1200s,
with the alleged purpose of being an administration hub.
Ownership of the castle would pass through countless hands over the
centuries, but in spite of renovations, it remains an ominous location.
The manner of its construction is particularly strange.
It had no external fortifications, no source of water.
The castle was also lacking a kitchen
and housed no occupants at the time of its construction.
These oddities make it seem as though Huska Castle
was not built to keep something from getting in,
but rather to prevent something from getting out.
The folklore surrounding
Huska Castle only serves
to deepen its mystery.
Local stories tell of a bottomless pit
in the land where the castle now sits.
A pit so deep that no one could ever see the bottom.
It was said that animal-human hybrids would emerge from the hole
when darkness fell.
Creatures stalked the earth and skies,
hunting down anyone who was unfortunate enough.
The beasts would then drag their prey into the depths,
where they were never seen again.
During the castle's construction,
prisoners who had been condemned to die
were offered a pardon if they consented
to being lowered by a rope into the hole and report what they see.
A young prisoner volunteered and was lowered into the darkness.
He went silent for what felt like eternity.
Everyone looked down into the abyss,
watching and waiting for him to speak.
Panic screams came from the pit, as the man shrieked to be pulled out.
When the man emerged,
he looked as though he had aged over thirty years.
His hair turned white
The prisoner then went incoherently insane,
and died shortly after.
Centuries later during World War II.
The Nazis allegedly conducted experiments in the castle.
It was said that they sought to harness the power of hell itself
The castle still stands
to this day as a hotspot
for paranormal activity.
The castle purportedly has several entities.
a bullfrog-human hybrid, a headless horse,
an old woman, and several other demonic
beasts managed to escape the pits.
Strange pagan art adorns the walls of the castle chapel.
The exact place which supposedly covers the pit.
Depictions of bestial creatures
and demons mingled with saints and angels.
Screams and scratches are said
to be heard from beneath the stone floor,
where the ancient portal to hell remains buried.
