It was during the time of the British rule in Malta when two drunken sailors were walking along the streets of Valetta, when upon reaching City Gate, they were accosted (approached) by a beautiful woman wearing the traditional Maltese costume, the "ghonnella". She asked them if they could accompany her home. Even though they didn't feel like walking much, they partially consented (agreed) because they felt fascinated by the beautiful lady. They followed her and when they reached the house in St Ursola Street, she asked them if they could help her to get inside as she had left the key inside.
The soldiers were bewildered by such a request but nonetheless decided to help out the mysterious lady. After some time one of the naval men managed to climed inside where he found the key. When he managed to open the door for the lady and his friend, the lady took off her ghonnella to reveal beautiful black locks. When she started to light the house, the splendour and richness of the house left them gaping. Now that they were in the company of a beautiful lady and in a magnificent setting, they felt more relaxed. However, as time drew nigh, they felt more weary and left the house. One of the sailors realized he had left a very expensive silver cigarette case inside the house and they decided they would call again tomorrow to get it. The next day they were shocked to find the same house in a very dilapidated state. They were told by one of the neighbours that the house was said to be haunted and that sometimes they could see the house lit from outside.
This house is still abandoned in St. Ursula Street In Valletta, Malta and when you pass at night you feel the chill, coldness and even if you are lucky you can also see the light, since it is still haunted and if you have the guts you can take a peek inside one of the windows still present !
You have the picture of the house attached ...... this is real and in Malta many people know this story.
The video is in Maltese.
