VII. INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF GHOSTS AND SPIRITS

IN BOJNICE 

Was held April 28-May 1 and May 5-8, 2000

When the cold winds from the terrorizing Carpathy Mountains reach the Bojnice’s Castle, the clear skies above it darken.

Fear and desperation had overcome many, if they didn’t have a clear spirit. Carpathian demons with their cruelty opened the gates to dark powers in long ago decayed history but they forgot to close them. 

Grof DRACULA with vampires and werewolves found many strong allies also in this region. We meet the murderous Alzbeta Báthory-the brutal Lady of Cachtice, greedy Poky and other associates of dark powers.

At Bojnice’s Castle where the night was getting engaged with darkness, all those that weren’t afraid to look in the eyes of the truth and try the horror of dark powers were invited to Bojnice’s Castle. They were given a tour of the mysterious castle by the ghost of Grof Palfy himself and unexpected visitor from France Baroness de Papouille.
