    The Witches of Paisley – A True Story of Fear and Fire
    Apr 9 2025
    Step into the mist-shrouded hills of 17th-century Scotland and discover the harrowing true story of a village haunted by fear, suspicion, and the echo of ancient curses.
    In this new episode of VIVI – Stories of Here and Beyond, we travel to Paisley, a town frozen in time, where the last mass witch execution in Western Europe took place.
    Told with cinematic depth and haunting intimacy, this story unravels the tale of Christian Shaw and the tragic events that led to one of the darkest chapters in Scottish history.

    Ghost Number 0 – Athenodorus and the First Haunted House
    Apr 11 2020
    His name was Athenodorus. His profession: philosopher.And with reason and courage, he faced what most would have fled from.
    In this episode, we travel back to 1st century A.D., into a letter written by Pliny the Younger, where the story of the first haunted house in history was recorded.
    A chilling tale of a chained ghost, an abandoned villa in Athens, and a man who dared to seek the truth.
    This is not a legend. It’s one of the earliest written accounts of a haunting in Western literature.

  • The first UFO

    The first UFO
    Mar 7 2020
    1933. An unidentified flying object crashes in the woods above a little village in the North of Italy. Aircraft they say. But maybe not from Earth. The event involved the fascist government that at the time ruled over Italy and the scientist and Nobel Laureate Guglielmo Marconi. A gloomy story that makes the little village the theater of unclear events and well-kept secrets and that can be considered the first UFO sighting in Europe.

  • The Witches of Venegono – A Witch Hunt Before the Inquisition

    The Witches of Venegono – A Witch Hunt Before the Inquisition
    Jan 21 2020
    In the early 1500s, long before the Holy Inquisition was officially established, a small village in Northern Italy became the scene of a chilling witch trial.
    In Venegono Superiore, seven women were accused of witchcraft, imprisoned in the castle still standing above the town, and sentenced to die by fire.
    Tortured, judged, and condemned — not by history’s better-known tribunals, but by local forces in the region of Seprio, Lombardy.
    This haunting story reminds us how, sometimes, shadows take over before the world even realizes it’s gone dark.
