Venice is haunted by a giant's skeleton. A 7-foot-tall man once worked as a bell ringer at St Mark's Campanile, a high tower on St Mark's Square. The giant was offered money by a scientist if he would leave him his bones when he died. The giant, estimating the scientist would die first, agreed, but the giant died shortly afterwards. His skeleton was placed in the Natural History Museum, where it can still be seen today. Every night, however, the skeleton is said to leave the museum and walk to St Mark's to try to ring the bells. On his way back, the giant begs coins from passers-by, in the hope he can buy his bones back and have a proper burial. #folklore #history #ghosts #paranormal #mythology #gothic #weird #Venice #death
