Museum of ghosts and legends in Prague
In the eerie atmosphere of the basement of the museum belonging to the old house of the beginning of the 14th century, viewers come to the realistically recreated streets of Prague's Old Town, in a small town. Here in the twilight, complementing the entourage, with disturbing music and various sounds, live venerable ghosts, recreated by authentic records and legends. They are not a figment of the imagination of their creators, as the Prajans say, but really exist.

There you can meet the most famous Prague ghosts and spirits: a decapitated templar, a hairy ghost, dwarves of Prague Castle, a headless Laura, an iron man, a skeleton with Janske, waterborne, the infant from the Charles Bridge and other famous characters: Faust with the devil, the devil with Vyshegrad or Golem.

Here are some legends about the inhabitants of the museum.

About the ghost of the baby. The architect who built the Charles Bridge, made a deal with the devil, who promised to help in the rapid completion of construction in exchange for the soul of the first step on the bridge. The first was a child. The soul of the baby wandered for many years, until one day one of the passers-by heard a ghost sneeze, nor wished him health - the baby's soul was freed from the curse.

Another legend tells of the beautiful Prague actress Laura, popular for her beauty and talent. She had a terribly jealous husband who beheaded the beautiful Laura because she dared to reciprocate her fervent admirer and wished to go to her beloved husband.
