Summary

Welcome back to Dark Realms,

Today, we journey to the shadowed heart of Rome, where Castel Sant’Angelo has stood for nearly two thousand years. Once an imperial mausoleum, later a papal fortress and prison, its walls have witnessed countless executions and betrayals. But what lingers in the silence after dark is far more unsettling. Join us as we uncover the chilling legends and ghostly figures said to haunt its bridge and dungeons, in one of the Eternal City’s most infamous sites of sorrow and fear.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

0:00.0	Not all of our minisodes need to be from listeners. In fact, places or lesser-known cases can sometimes take us to Dark Realms.
0:17.6	Hello everyone and welcome back to another installment of Dark Realms.
0:22.9	And yes, this week I did promise you a video version. Unfortunately, as I stated, the
0:29.4	studio is going through a bit of a makeover at the moment and I'm the one doing it and I'm
0:35.9	not very good at it which meant I've drilled through
0:39.0	something which has basically turned the electricity off in the loft or the attic so I've put
0:45.1	together a makeshift studio which is great for recording but not for video the electrician is
0:51.3	booked for the start of the week so fingers crossed we should have electricity in the studio once more, and next week we will finally have a video edition.
1:00.4	However, by way of almost recompense, or the best I can do, recompense-wise for no video, we're going to look at a dark realm which I had scheduled for later in the season simply because I've been to this
1:12.5	place. It's a magical, wonderful, timeless place and it's a place which is very close to my heart.
1:20.3	But I did not know just how dark of a realm one particular area of this place was.
1:47.6	I've been to this particular city numerous times and it's literally, feel, I've been to this particular city numerous times, and every time it feels like I'm coming home in a strange sense.

1:54.4	of sentinel guarding the banks of the river Tiber. Yes, that's right. today we're going to take a trip to the eternal city of
2:04.3	Rome to look at arguably one of its most unknown or less known dark realms. Castel, Sant Angela.
2:13.7	But very quickly beforehand, just to remind you all, our Patreon is now offering a free
2:19.1	week at the highest tier, so you can head over there, and you can listen to things such as
2:23.8	Dark Bytes, the Patreon-only podcast, and the entire back catalogue for a full week at your leisure,
2:30.3	and if it's not for you, as the US says, no harm, no foul.
2:36.9	Just cancel and no charge will be made.
2:43.0	So either head over to patreon.com forward slash the dark paranormal or click the link in the show notes.
2:49.6	But right now, let's step foot into one of the most beautiful, historic, and it appears,
2:54.1	malevolently dark realms that we've possibly ever set foot into. Castel Sant'Angelo. From its positioning, which is basically en route to St. Peter's
