Ghosts in St. Peter’s Square?
Legends and suggestions tell us since 1585 a golden globe adorned the obelisk in the square (and this is true), this globe contained the ashes of the great leader Giulio Cesare (this is legend, perhaps).
The ghost of the Roman general and politician was hovering around the obelisk.
Julius Caesar appeared in the night when his rivals killed him: the Ides of March (March ,15th).
Is not this phantom enough for you? Do you want more ghosts in San Pietro?
We’ll settle you immediately.
Inside the Basilica there is the “column of the ossessi”. The column is so called because the people (obsessed) were bound that the priests wanted to free from the demons. This column was inside the Solomon’s Temple and was brought to Rome hundreds of years ago.
