LUCEDIO MONASTERY

















Imagine an ancient land, distant in time and space, able to seduce with its historic mystery, beauty of its art, wisdom of its traditions, magic of its landscape...Imagine ancient rooms still echoing distant voices of monks, abates, princesses and usual men. Just imagine all this, here and now. Welcome to the Abbey of Lucedio! Lucedio Abbey is a 12th century building located in the north-west part of Italy. For those of you unfamiliar with an abbey, it's a church that is part of a monastery or a convent, the place where monks or nuns live. Many say this one is one of Italy's most haunted places. Moreover, the Lucedio Abbey is a place where torture, child molestation, murder and disturbing rituals were believed to have been performed. Lucedio is said to be cursed by the monks by the monks who used to live in it. Nobody suspected that the monks had lost faith in God and turned their backs on Christianity. They were worshipping the devil and performed horrific and disturbing black magic rituals within the walls of the holy building. They turned the Abbey into a place of horror and cruelty, kidnapping local villagers and sacrificing them to the devil. The legacy of satanic atrocities said to have occurred during the 17th and 18th centuries. Years later, the Abbey became a place of such horrible acts that the place was finally closed. In the Judgement Room (the place where all the monks made their decisions about sentences for people's crimes) a pillar mysteriously appears wet. It's called "the crying column" and people say that it cries because of all the cruelty it's seen. In another area of the building a strange fog has been seen forming numerous times for no explainable reason. Under the church is the crypt where all the abbots are buried. People say that an evil presence was captured down there and locked inside. It was believed that in order for the presence to remain locked inside the crypt it needed to be guarded. So..a number of abbots were buried in a sitting position in a circle. In time, all of them became mummified in a natural way. In the judgement room, the iron cage still rest. Lucedio Abbey has been investigated in the past for paranormal activity. Today, the building is incorporated into a rice farm.
