Stories about the mysterious Chateau de Fontainebleau are known worldwide. This unique historic building enveloped by many amazing legends never ceases to attract romantic natures and fans of ghost stories. Built in the 16th century, the castle is considered the most populous ghost object of France; even staunch skeptics are lucky enough to see spirits here. The most recognizable ghost is Red man who can often be found in a park near the palace. Catherine de Medici was one of the first who happened to see the ghost; he predicted the tragic death of her sons. The ghost of the Red man was also seen by Henry IV; that time the former has predicted a violent death too.
Ladies who expect to walk through the halls of the imperial palace and beautiful gardens have to be prepared for the attention of another ghost, Marquis Monaldeschi. During his lifetime, he was able to enamour the proudest beauties, including the Swedish Queen. Marquis has never concealed his amorous exploits and once paid for it with his life. Eyewitnesses say that the ghost doesn’t mind to pay attention to the beautiful ladies even these days. The picturesque palace of Fontainebleau is inhabited by very good ghosts living there for a long time. They have always helped governors and never disturbed people without a reason.
