👻 **Unveiling the Ghostly Inhabitants: The Enigmatic La Dame Verte:**

By Jude Obuseh 
Amidst the opulent halls of the Château de Brissac, a castle nestled in the heart of France, whispers of spectral tales persist. Among these ethereal inhabitants, one figure stands out – La Dame Verte, the infamous 'Green Lady.' 

According to legend, she was believed to be the illegitimate child of King Charles VII, a woman whose life met a tragic end in the 15th century. Her demise, it is said, was a consequence of her husband's fury, fueled by suspicions of an affair. 

The castle's reports of paranormal activity often revolve around her, with her ethereal presence haunting the chapel tower room. She is described as clad in her signature green gown, yet her eyes and nose are replaced by haunting voids. Amidst chilling appearances, her mournful moans echo through the castle's ancient corridors, leaving an eerie mark on those who dare to venture close.


Fast forward to the present day, and the Château de Brissac transcends its historical roots as it embraces modernity. While it still exudes the charm of a bygone era with lavishly adorned rooms and intricate period furnishings, it has evolved into a beloved hotel. This transformation has opened its doors to a wider audience, inviting visitors to experience the allure of its storied past.

The castle's halls no longer only echo with ghostly whispers but also with the laughter and chatter of contemporary events. It has become a venue for vibrant gatherings, including Christmas markets and wine tastings. These events not only showcase the castle's historic charm but also its acclaimed wines. The château boasts its very own vineyards, and visitors have the opportunity to savor wines cultivated from its own fertile grounds.


For the daring souls who choose to rest within its ancient walls overnight, the Château de Brissac offers an immersive journey through time. The rooms are adorned with period furnishings that transport guests back to eras long past. The ambiance within these walls resonates with tales of the castle's rich history, making every stay a unique and unforgettable experience.

By Jude Obuseh The events of July 20, 1944, etched a dramatic and pivotal moment in World War II history. At Adolf Hitler's East Prussian Wolf's Lair headquarters, a bomb, planted by dissatisfied members of the Wehrmacht, detonated during a meeting, intending to assassinate the Fuhrer.

By Jude Obuseh In the heart of ancestral folklore lies the mystique of the "Ogbanje," whispered about in hushed tones among the lineage of those possessing extraordinary spiritual qualities. They're known as the "gifted children," entrusted with a spiritual purpose transcending the ordinary realm—a destiny to guide and salvage souls through their otherworldly work. From their early years, these beings stand distinct, marked by bouts of ailment and distinct physical attributes—gap-toothed smiles, deemed as "open teeth," or adorned in tangled locks known as "dada." The term "Ogbanje" itself hints at a life not entirely embraced within the physical domain, one that flits between spiritual dimensions and earthly existence. Their characters waver, akin to the ebb and flow of the tides, and sadly, many depart too soon, while some linger, bound by spiritual agreements etched in a mystical oath known as "iyiuwa." Resis
