Ghosts wandering in the dusk

Ghosts wandering around in the dark small streets, souls of strangled young ladies whispering, beheaded old men asking for revenge, shadows of betrayed brides calling you…the romance of Venice is only the trick to attract you…but when the dusk displaces the sun…there she goes…the lady of the lagoon throws her mask away! Shudder at the phantoms’ whispering…the revenge of the restless souls is on!
