Ghost Hunters International (2008)
S01E13 Tortured Souls
Episode Overview
The team embarks on an unprecedented exploration of Predjama Castle, a haunting Slovenian national treasure. Once a sanctuary for the Luegg family, the castle now functions as a museum. Staff members make sure to secure the premises well before nightfall to steer clear of the ghost of Erasmus, a Robin Hood-like figure who still strives to provide food and supplies for the castle. It’s been over two decades since anyone dared to spend the night at Predjama, but the team is determined to face the castle's spectral guardian. Their journey then leads them to Cachtice Castle, the site of the Bathory Ruins, where the notorious serial killer Elizabeth Bathory is interred. Dubbed the Bloody Countess, she is believed to have tortured and murdered over 600 young women, using her noble status to evade justice. Although she died in the castle in 1614, many visitors—especially women—claim to sense her lingering presence.
