"Ghost Walker"
He explores Salzburg’s spookiest corners
One evening, thick fog lies over St. Sebastian's Cemetery in the city of Salzburg. Fresh flowers are laid in front of a crypt on the grounds. A young woman was buried there just a few days ago. On her wedding day. An extremely tragic fate.
In the silence, you suddenly hear a knock! A short time later, desperate cries for help come from the crypt. The young woman has suddenly come back to life!
This or something similar is said to have happened hundreds of years ago. In the very crypt that storyteller Reinhard Likar, alias KAI, is standing in front of today with a group of horror enthusiasts. They listen to his stories with rapt attention.
Likar knows hundreds of legends, such as that of the resurrected bride, from the city of Salzburg. "From my point of view as a storyteller, what is particularly appealing is that I can actually tell the legend where it supposedly happened. I use objects such as inscriptions, pictures and symbols to create concrete references," says the "ghost walker".
Likar has been telling spooky stories full-time for 25 years now. And not just in the autumn months around Halloween and All Saints' Day. He draws his inspiration from historical books.
"You can find them everywhere, for example in the university library. But our Bavarian neighbors also liked to write down legends about us Salzburgers." This usually took the form of mocking tales. Nevertheless, local classics, such as the Salzburger Stierwascher, were coined.
If you are now curious and admittedly brave enough, you can set off on the next walk with KAI on November 2 at 6 pm in front of the Heimatwerk.
