Urban legends of Madrid: The ghost of the naughty priest.Sandwiched between two unremarkable appartament buildings, the last chalet standing in number 124 of Madrid’s Calle de Ayala (named after the writer Abelardo López de Ayala) hides an unedifying story behind its pretty façade, now painted in a discreet grey instead of its original yellow. For decades, as the legend goes, workers of what had become an office building were terrified by strange noises, laments, and the lights of the chalet ramdonly going on and off during the evening. Number 124 (like other buildings in the same street) had been decades before a brothel, where a priest (other versions claiming he was a bishop) died suddenly while in company of one or several girls. Apparently it’s his ghost the one to blame for all the above mentioned nuisances, even if there are also rumours about two or three prostitutes dead in strange circunstances. Photo F. Moreno. In that site there’s also mention to number 126, which seems to have been also host of a similar phenomenon. Not the naughty priest thing, but instead noises coming from a pub which has been closed for years. -- source link
