The Mysteries of Houska Castle

Hidden deep in the forests of the Czech Republic lies a castle unlike any other—one with no clear strategic purpose, no noble residence, and no windows facing the outside world. Instead, Houska Castle was built over a gaping hole in the earth... a pit so deep and terrifying that legends say it leads straight to Hell. In this episode of The Devil Within, we uncover the dark history of Houska Castle—from its bizarre medieval origins and pagan legends to whispered tales of demonic entities, Nazi occult experiments, and modern-day paranormal investigations. Why would a 13th-century ruler spend a fortune constructing a fortress with its defenses turned inward? What really happened to the prisoners who were lowered into the abyss as test subjects? And is the evil sealed beneath the chapel truly dormant? Step inside Houska, where history and horror bleed together—and where the line between myth and madness disappears.
