The Landriano Castle is located near the town of the same name in the province of Pavia and is located on an islet around which a small river flows. It became famous thanks to the presence of a ghost of a lady whose name would be Janet and who lived in the castle in the sixteenth century.
Some stories tell that the woman was executed in the castle square in the 1500s because she was accused of witchcraft and since then she has been wandering around the building in search of that peace that she cannot find.
According to various testimonies, before the ghost of Janet materializes, a song or a kind of wail of a woman would be heard. It is also said that in some cases the ghost tried to communicate with passers-by. But in other sources the dark and sinister side of her is more evident. This would be powerful enough to hypnotize or put anyone who carelessly gets too close to the Castle into a trance.
Generally, however, it doesn't always show the same way. On occasion one would only see the physiognomy of her face. In others, however, she would see a very confused luminous figure. Also, Janet's ghost wouldn't always appear in the same place. She now she materializes on the entrance door other times in front of the windows of the castle.
Currently the Landriano Castle is closed because it is privately owned and it is therefore impossible to go inside and possibly be able to deepen the research or carry out surveys on the presence or absence of Janet's ghost.
Unfortunately, for this very reason, Janet's mystery will always remain unsolved.
