๐ป 3. Ghost Sculptures โ At The Castle of Vezio, Italy
These ghosts just want to enjoy the view. They sit quietly and look at Lake Como. They are very peaceful and do not bite. It is the best place in Italy for a ghostly vacation.
Each summer, visitors craft these eerie forms from gauze and chalk, leaving behind spectral guardians that silently watch over the lake. More about the Ghost Sculptures!: Haunting Ghost Sculptures! (12 Photos)
