5 constructions supposedly created by the Devil

It is said that these constructions have been created by the Devil , or it is suspected that in them the king of darkness has exercised his 'power'.To know these dark stories? Learn about these stories that are part of the folklore of their countries of origin.

Constructions created by the Devil or so they say

Palanok Castle

The history of this This place is really fantastic.They show that the Palanok Castle, located in Mukachevo, Ukraine, in case one day you dare to visit it, was owned by Prince Fedor Koryatovich between 1396 and 1414.From what you will see in the photograph, the castle has its attractive.However, something worried his owner, access to water was more than limited.

The earth under the castle seemed to have dried up like a dead branch.On account of this, the prince's men spent years and years digging a well, in attempts to get the supply, which was useless.The owner in despair, offered a bag full of gold to which he could find water.to make the offer, the Devil appeared that, after a few seconds, caused the water to appear in abundance.

The deal was done.Now Prince Koryatovich should pay the Devil with the promised gold bag, but something got in the way: I had no way to settle the debt.Not knowing what to do, I try to scam the Devil by handing over a bag with a few gold coins, then, getting ready, shield with which he never needed how many coins he had to deliver to him.

The Devil confronted him and angrily jumped into the pit.Since that heated encounter, it is said that the Devil appropriated the site and that can be heard from the depths of the castle, frightening with its creepy screams to everyone who approaches the property.

Mizarela Bridge, in Portugal

Over this bridge with a mantle of Moss that crosses the Rabagao River in Montealegre, Portugal, there is a legend told during decades by the locals.A criminal summoned the evil one to build the Mizarela Bridge in exchange for his soul .The criminal fled from his persecutors, so he asked him to barely cross, the bridge had to disappear so he wouldn't they could reach it.

The thugs, after the flight, went to see a priest to recover his soul.The religious advised him to drink some holy water and spray it on the bridge.And so it happened, return to the river and I invoke the Devil again so that the bridge reappears.Secondly, the man managed to recover his soul, however, the bridge had to be rebuilt by the villagers several times because the Devil allegedly knocked him down.again and again because of the anger that the criminal had caused him.

Yester Castle, Scotland

Scotland has some of the castles the most charming of all Europe, but it is also the cradle of Yester Castle, one of the supposedly buildings created by the Devil .It was built in 1267, by Sir Hugo de Giffard, a man who won the title of "The Wizard of Yester" because it was rumored that his castle had been raised by a troop of pixies sent by the king of darkness.

Over the years, after most of the property has been ruined , except the Goblin Hall, a portion where it is said that Giffard performed mysterious rituals , the legend took more momentum.Even those who have risked visiting what remains of the castle ensure that an atmosphere is perceived in it sinister, as if the Devil himself stalked them.

Devil's Bridge, in Wales

In Ceredigion, Wales, he finds himself ntra the Devil's Bridge, a structure that is based on three subsequent bridges.As for the first Devil's Bridge a legend circulates about an old woman, Megan.It is said that she agreed with the devil so that the rescued from a great flood that left her trapped at the other end of the Mynach River.What most worried Megan was to rescue her cow that had gone down the river.

5 constructions supposedly created by the Devil

I needed a bridge, which the Devil soon made appear in return from the soul of the first person to cross it.To prevent it from being his, the old woman threw a piece of bread to make a dog cross the bridge, so that it became the soul ready for the Devil , regardless of what an animal was.

This legend was surely born because this could be one of the first bridges built on difficult terrain in the area, so those who approached him doubted that really would have been built by humans.

Steps of Tarr

It is estimated that this ancient bridge located in the Exmoor National Park, in Somerset, England , dates between 1000 BC 1400 AD, but nobody knows exactly when it was built.What has been spread with insistence among the villagers is that it is one of the supposedly constructions created by the Devil .

5 constructions supposedly created by the Devil

According to legend, no one had ever been able to walk through the slabs of the Tarr Steps, since the Devil had them reserved for sunbathing, out of curiosity, to know what their destiny would be if they dared to cross the bridge, the locals they made a cat walk along the rocky path, finishing the animal torn by the Devil.

Despite such horror, a brave shepherd decided to confront the Devil so that the bridge was at the mercy of all.I claim and curse him, until he finally retired so that people could cross the bridge, with the only condition that no one c ruzara when he was sunbathing...otherwise they would end up like the feline, shattered.

Why will the mysterious legends around these buildings created by the Devil be so exciting ? In Mysterious we love them, although many of them are part of the collective imaginary.
