Trump will travel to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, later today for a signing ceremony that will be attended by officials from around the world. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined an invitation extended earlier today by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, citing the Simchat Torah holiday, which begins this evening in Israel. What You Should Know A QUICK WORD WITH JI'S MELISSA WEISS AND TAMARA ZIEVE It was the day that Israelis have waited for after more than two years — or two years exactly by the Hebrew calendar. Thousands had already assembled by dawn at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, where some had slept overnight, for the release of the last remaining hostages known to be alive. Shortly after 8 a.m., the first seven hostages — Omri Miran, Matan Angrest, Ziv Berman, Gali Berman, Guy Gilboa-Dalal, Alon Ohel and Eitan Mor — were released to Red Cross custody. The song “Habayta,” meaning “home,” the unofficial anthem of the hostage families, played over a montage of photos of the 47 men and one woman who have spent the last 738 days in captivity — a scene that has repeated itself in the square every Saturday night for two years. Israeli networks split coverage between the live festivities across the country, in-studio reporting and interviews with hostage families and former hostages. Former hostage Emily Damari called into Israel’s Channel 12 upon the release of her neighbors and friends, twins Zvi and Gali Berman, and said the Shehecheyanu prayer giving thanks — a prayer also recited by the thousands thronging in and around Hostages Square. The crowd erupted in joy at the sight of the two brothers being reunited. By midday, the 20 living hostages — also including Avinatan Or, Bar Kupershtein, Ariel and David Cunio, Eitan Horn, Elkana Bohbot, Evyatar David, Maksym Harkin, Matan Zangauker, Nimrod Cohen, Rom Braslavski, Segev Kalfon and Yosef-Chaim Ohana — were on Israeli soil. The first images of the men trickled out over the course of the morning: Miran, flanked by his wife and father, wearing a shirt with artwork by his two young daughters; the Berman twins in Maccabi Tel Aviv jerseys; Ohel, pale but smiling and standing on his own, with sunglasses to protect his damaged eyes. In contrast to previous hostage release, as dictated by the agreement, there were no propaganda ceremonies staged by Hamas as they handed over the captive Israelis. Instead, Hamas made video calls to the hostages’ relatives, who spoke to their loved ones as they stood beside their masked and uniformed captors. Amid the hostage releases, President Donald Trump descended from Air Force One to the tarmac at Ben Gurion Airport on Monday morning, where he was greeted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog. White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump — who spoke at Saturday night’s hostage rally in Tel Aviv. Read our coverage of their speeches at the rally here. Signing the Knesset’s guestbook after his arrival, Trump wrote, “This is my great honor — a great and beautiful day, a new beginning.” With the release of the last living hostages, and later today the remains of four of the 28 deceased hostages, Israel will begin the process of releasing close to 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in accordance with the first phase of the deal. After that, attention will turn to negotiations surrounding the deal’s second phase. After addressing the Knesset, Trump will travel to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, for a signing ceremony that will also include Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas. Trump’s speech was delayed due to a call with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who extended an invitation to Netanyahu to join the ceremony. Netanyahu’s office released a statement saying that the prime minister thanked Trump for the invitation, but won’t be able to participate due to the close timing with the beginning of the Simchat Torah holiday this evening. In Israel, it has been a day of celebration after two years of pain, longing, fear, anxiety. It was the first time in two years that Israelis were able to wholeheartedly greet each other with 'chag sameach' — a greeting that took on a double meaning on the eve of Simchat Torah, which begins this evening. But the day will take a heavier turn this afternoon when the remains of just four of the deceased hostages are expected to be returned to Israel, bringing a combination of pain and closure to their loved ones who will finally be able to give them a proper burial. Meanwhile, the 24 other hostage families — who were shocked to learn this afternoon of the low number of bodies that will be released — will be left waiting for the remains of their loved ones to be located and returned home. The Hostages Families Forum called the development a “blatant breach of the agreement by Hamas,” and called on the Israeli government and the mediators to “take immediate action to rectify this grave injustice.” Read 'What You Should Know' here. 🕔 Catch up before the day is over.

Live from Israel: Israeli television stations showed a live screen, with Air Force One landing at Ben Gurion Airport on one side, and IDF vehicles carrying freed hostages Eitan Mor, Gali and Ziv Berman, Matan Angrest, Omri Miran, Guy Gilboa-Dalal and Alon Ohel to their families on the other. Trump was given a hero’s welcome in the Knesset, where he was met with an honor guard and current and former lawmakers gave him a lengthy standing ovation. “The hostages are back – it feels so good to say it!” Trump said.

Steve Cohen (D-TN), a 10-term congressman from Memphis, Tenn., has long occupied a unique position in U.S. politics. The 76-year-old lawmaker, who became Tennessee’s first Jewish member of the delegation when he took office in 2007, is the only Democratic House member in his solidly conservative state. And as the lone white member of either party to represent a majority-Black district, Cohen has also managed to deftly navigate a delicate racial dynamic in his district, only facing occasional primary challenges from Black challengers. Through it all, he has been a political powerhouse in Memphis, holding onto his seat by building a broad and diverse coalition of support. Now, he is facing what could be his biggest test in years as he prepares to go up against a formidable new challenger in the 2026 primaries, at a moment when some veteran Democratic House members are under growing pressure from a crop of younger opponents who are pushing for generational change to revive the party’s declining image among younger, disillusioned voters, Jewish Insider’s Matthew Kassel reports. New competition: Justin Pearson, a Democratic state legislator from Memphis who rose to national prominence in 2023 when he and a fellow Black colleague were expelled from the Tennessee General Assembly for leading a gun control protest on the House floor, announced last week that he would challenge Cohen in what is shaping up to be a bitterly contested and expensive primary, highlighting differences over identity as well as hot-button issues such as Israel and the war in Gaza.

BOOK SHELF Jewish studies scholar argues modern-day antisemitism akin to 1950s-era discrimination in new book Historian Pamela Nadell is very familiar with the rituals of publishing a book, as she has written nine of them: Secure a release date, present at academic conferences, maybe headline a handful of general-public events. Although she is at the forefront of her field at American University — chair in Women’s and Gender History, director of the Jewish studies program and former president of the American Jewish Historical Society — Nadell knows that success in academia does not often translate to strong book sales. Things appear to be different for her latest book, Antisemitism: An American Tradition, Jewish Insider’s Gabby Deutch reports. Pertinent timing: Nadell began to understand how much interest a book on antisemitism would generate when her publisher assigned a full-time publicist to promote the book, which will be published on Oct. 14. Nadell is booked at speaking engagements across the country into 2027, starting with an event at the Washington bookstore Politics and Prose next week. The book that she began researching six years ago will now appear on bookshelves at a time when antisemitism has reached record levels since the Anti-Defamation League began tracking data in 1979. “I had hoped, frankly, that the subject would be seen as a historic subject by the time [the book] came out into the world,” Nadell told JI in a recent interview. “And that's absolutely not the case.” Read the full story here. DOHA DEALINGS Hegseth signs deal to open Qatari Air Force facility in Idaho Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, in a Pentagon meeting with Qatari Defense Minister Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani on Friday, signed a deal to open a Qatari Air Force facility at the U.S. Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, Jewish Insider’s Marc Rod reports. Facing swift backlash, Hegseth clarified that under the terms of the agreement, “Qatar will not have their own base in the United States — nor anything like a base. We control the existing base, like we do with all partners.” Broad opposition: The deal has elicited criticism from voices as wide-ranging as Trump ally and far-right influencer Laura Loomer and Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin. “An economic bailout for Argentina. An air force base for Qatar. This guy is doing everything but putting America first,” Martin said, a sentiment echoed by the DNC’s vice chair, Malcolm Kenyatta. Loomer wrote a spree of X posts lambasting the deal, framing it as the vanguard of a Muslim Brotherhood invasion of Idaho and the United States, a threat to national security, a precursor to a potential terrorist attack and the harbinger of the downfall of Western civilization. “Now that the GOP has decided to literally harbor Islamic terrorists on US soil, I don’t really care about fighting for Republicans as much as I did yesterday. I have lost hope for 2026 and 2028 to be totally honest,” Loomer said. Read the full story here. ROLE REALIZED Senate confirms Trump pick to lead civil rights division at Education Dept. The Senate voted this week to confirm Kimberly Richey as the assistant secretary for civil rights at the Education Department, eight months after President Donald Trump named her to the role. The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights, which Richey will lead, is responsible for overseeing investigations into antisemitism at American schools and universities. The Trump administration laid off more than half of the division’s investigators earlier this year, sparking sharp criticism from congressional Democrats, Jewish Insider’s Gabby Deutch reports. Background: Richey previously served in the same role on an interim basis for the final months of Trump’s first term. For much of that administration, she was deputy assistant secretary of the office that oversees special education issues. She first worked at the Education Department in the George W. Bush administration after being hired by Ken Marcus, now the chairman of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law. Richey comes to Washington from Florida, where she had been serving as senior chancellor for Florida’s Department of Education. Before that, she was deputy superintendent of the Virginia Department of Education. Read the full story here. HILL TALK Senate moves toward repeal of Caesar Act Syria sanctions in defense bill The Senate approved the repeal of strict sanctions legislation targeting the now-deposed Assad regime in Syria, as part of its version of the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, Jewish Insider’s Marc Rod reports. State of play: The chamber also passed, as part of a bipartisan package of amendments, an amendment led by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) — opposed by some Syrian-American activists — that requires regular reports to Congress certifying Syria’s compliance with a variety of U.S. priorities and urges the administration to reimpose sanctions if such verification cannot be completed. The House version of the NDAA does not include a similar provision, so whether the sanctions repeal is included in the final bill, and in what form, will be subject to negotiations between the two chambers. Read the full story here. Worthy Reads The Families’ Fight: The Free Press’ Matti Friedman reflects on the successes of the movement to free the hostages juxtaposed with the realities of war. “On the day of the Hamas massacres, which ravaged swaths of southern Israel and killed nearly 1,200 people, Israelis saw their feeling of security shattered, along with their faith in their leadership and army and in the basic promise that the helpless chapters of Jewish history had ended conclusively with the founding of the state of Israel. This rupture required psychological repair, and this became inseparable, for some, from the hostages’ return. ‘The slogan ‘Bring Them Home,’ rather than ‘Give Them Back,’ the fact that it’s directed inward, gets at the idea that this is really about restoring our own place and our own agency, which is at the heart of Zionism,’ [Tal] Becker said when we spoke again Sunday. Another popular slogan, seen on bumper stickers and protest signs, reads Nachzir, nakum: ‘We’ll return them and rise.’ Those two acts are linked, the second predicated on the first.” [FreePress] Sharabi’s Survival: The Atlantic’s Franklin Foer considers what he calls the “existential heroism” of the released Israeli hostages. “Unlike Sharabi, some of the hostages already surmised that they had lost their families in the massacre, shattering the most compelling why of them all. Yet that didn’t diminish their will to live. Despite being secular, they found solace in listening to an observant hostage, the son of a rabbinical scholar, recite the Jewish grace after meals. Like Odysseus, they trained their minds to relentlessly focus on home. ‘There is no more regular Eli,’ Sharabi told himself in his first days in Gaza. ‘From now on, I am Eli the survivor.’ That he clung to optimism in the face of despair wasn’t inevitable.” [TheAtlantic] Campus Beat: In The New York Times, Danielle Sassoon, who resigned as interim U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York earlier this year after she refused to drop charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, raises concerns about free speech and civil rights on college campuses. “Universities, no less than the professionals they teach, have an obligation to uphold civil dialogue as the bedrock of a functioning democracy. Administrators continue to overlook that this obligation means they must guarantee forums to explore a diversity of ideas safely and openly. … Students who object to policies of the Trump administration or oppose Israel’s war in Gaza or who advocate abortion rights rarely have to worry that their campus speakers will be disrupted by protesters or generate security concerns related to the backlash of a student mob. Security concerns, real or fabricated, arise when a speaker promises to buck campus orthodoxy. And that is precisely when universities need to stand up for debate rather than surrender to those who would stifle it.” [NYTimes] What’s Next: In The Times of Israel, Alan Gross, who was held as a political prisoner in Cuba for five years and now lives part-time in Israel, considers how Israelis and Palestinians can rebuild in a post-war era. “Healing will not come from slogans or ceremonies. It will come — slowly, painfully — through remembrance, accountability, and the rebuilding of trust where it has been shattered. It requires rejecting the easy narratives that divide “us” from “them,” and insisting instead on empathy — for our own people, yes, but also for those on the other side who have also lost children, parents, and homes. Too many of us already know what it means to wake up each day in a world changed by violence. Yet it is precisely in that fragile act of continuing — of refusing to surrender our humanity — that recovery begins.” [TOI] SPONSORED CONTENT Community Comms Be featured: Email us to inform the JI readership of your upcoming event, job opening or other communication.

Campus Antisemitism Report Card™ ADL’s Campus Antisemitism Report Card provides information about the current state of antisemitism on campus and how universities and colleges are responding. ADL’s Report Card 2.0 assesses 135 schools based on 30 criteria, separated into: ‘Administrative Policies,’ ‘Jewish Life on Campus’ and ‘Campus Conduct and Climate Concerns.' Ratings were assigned under each category that factor into each school’s grade; grades may vary despite identical performance labels due to percentage score differences or qualitative assessments. The impact and enforcement of recently enacted policies may not yet have been fully realized, resulting in higher campus conduct and climate concerns. The Campus Conduct and Climate Concerns category only reflects ‘severe’ and ‘other’ incidents that occurred between April and December 2024. View more information on the methodology. Our analysis combines objective data with certain subjective impressions and analysis as well as our beliefs about how to weigh different factors. Reasonable people may disagree with these decisions.

The end of the deep state is here; Supreme Court seems likely to give Trump more power over agencies President Trump wants the Supreme Court to overturn a 90-year-old precedent limiting his ability to remove leaders of independent agencies. Portrait of Maureen GroppeMaureen Groppe USA TODAY Updated Dec. 8, 2025, 4:56 p.m. ET Deeper Dive BETA Which company sued over Trump's tariffs in a Supreme Court case? When did the Supreme Court hear arguments on Trump's agency firing case? What precedent does Trump seek to overturn regarding agency leadership removal? Which company sued over Trump's tariffs in a Supreme Court case? WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court appears likely to agree with President Donald Trump that he can fire at will the heads of some independent agencies, hearing arguments on Dec. 8 in a case that could redefine how more than a dozen agencies operate and shift power from Congress to the president. The agencies were set up by Congress to be led by politically balanced boards of experts serving staggered, fixed terms. But Trump argues presidential control will make agencies like the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Federal Election Commission more accountable to voters who elect presidents. “The real-world consequences here are human beings exercising enormous governmental authority with a great deal of control over individuals and small and large businesses who ultimately do not answer to the president,” Solicitor General John Sauer told the justices during nearly 2 ½ hours of oral arguments. “That’s a power vacuum.” A lawyer for Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a FTC commissioner fired by Trump, countered that independent agencies have been part of the nation's governing structure since 1790. “Any abstract theory that would wipe away so much history and precedent should be a nonstarter,” attorney Amit Agarwal argued. Conservative justices sympathetic to Trump's argument President Donald Trump shakes hands with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 20, 2025. But the court’s conservative supermajority seemed more sympathetic to the Trump administration’s position. Most seemed to agree that the president should be able to remove leaders from at least some agencies and pushed only on how far that could go. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, for example, stressed early that he views the Federal Reserve differently. By contrast, the court’s three liberal justices tried to raise the alarm about the potential consequences of letting presidents control agencies that Congress tried to insulate from political interference. “The result of what you want is that the president is going to have massive, unchecked, uncontrolled power,” Justice Elena Kagan said, “not only to do traditional execution, but to make law through legislative and adjudicative frameworks." Get the Susan Page newsletter in your inbox. Get the latest story from Susan Page right in your inbox. Delivery: Varies Your Email In response, Justice Samuel Alito gave Sauer the chance to argue that the results won’t be disastrous. “In fact, our entire government will move towards accountability,” Sauer agreed. But Agarwal said a president could “just on a whim decide tomorrow that everything the agency has been doing is wrong.” Trump wants Supreme Court to overturn a 90-year-old precedent The headquarters of the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in Washington, DC, November 18, 2024. Trump wants the court to overturn a 1935 decision limiting a president's ability to remove leaders of multimember administrative agencies, a decision the court has been chipping away at since 2010. Under the “unitary executive theory” that conservatives have advanced for years, the Constitution gives presidents complete control over executive functions, which must include the power to remove commission members. In 1935, however, the Supreme Court said the FTC’s duties were “neither political nor executive, but predominantly quasi-judicial and quasi-legislative.” The Department of Justice argues that even if that was a correct interpretation of the FTC in 1935 − which it disputes − it no longer is. Supreme Court could topple yet another campaign finance limit Supreme Court to take on controversial Trump policy on birthright citizenship Supreme Court lets Texas use congressional map favored by Trump Supreme Court not ready to tackle prayers at football games again Supreme Court to review controversial policy at US-Mexico border to limit asylum seekers Trump ratchets up pressure on Supreme Court not to overturn his tariffs Will the Supreme Court treat Trump's tariffs like Biden's policies? Amy Coney Barrett says 'I'm nobody's justice.' That includes Trump. “It was grievously wrong when decided,” Sauer told the justices. He had a receptive audience. Chief Justice John Roberts called that 1935 decision, Humphrey's Executor v. United States, a “dried husk of whatever people used to think it was” because it has “nothing to do with what the FTC looks like today.” But Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court’s most senior liberal justice, asked Sauer if the court has ever overturned such a long-standing precedent with a major impact on how the government operates. “You’re asking us to destroy the structure of government and to take away from Congress its ability to protect its idea that a government is better structured with some agencies that are independent,” she said. Expert predicts court will overturn Humprey's Executor Kevin King, a partner at Covington & Burling law firm who focuses on appellate and administrative and constitutional law matters, expects the court to overrule − not just further curtail − Humphrey’s Executor. That would mean Trump could remove heads of the FTC and of similar agencies. But King said Kagan’s probing about the potentially far-reaching consequences on other agencies could make a difference when the justices meet privately to discuss the case. “Even if Justice Kagan is not on the winning side of the vote here,” he said, “she nevertheless is influencing the court’s reasoning, and her questions may lead some of her colleagues to take a more cautious and narrow approach here.” Trump declared all federal agencies are under his control The Supreme Court from left, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Amy Coney Barrett, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan. After taking office, Trump declared that all federal agencies are under his control. “The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over,” the president said in a March address to Congress. That same month, Trump fired the two Democratic members of the five-member Federal Trade Commission board, Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya. The FTC enforces a variety of antitrust and consumer protection laws affecting virtually every area of commerce. He’d already removed Democratic members of two federal labor boards and would later fire the three Democrats on the CPSC. The Supreme Court allowed the firings to proceed while it decides whether Congress had the ability to limit the reasons regulators could be removed to “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.” Supreme Court will later consider Federal Reserve case Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook attends the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's 2025 Jackson Hole economic symposium, "Labor Markets in Transition: Demographics, Productivity, and Macroeconomic Policy" in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on Aug. 23, 2025. One question hanging over the case is whether the court will treat the Federal Reserve Board of Governors differently, as the justices suggested they might earlier this year when issuing a temporary ruling about firing labor commission members without cause. And the court did not allow Trump to immediately fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, deciding instead to hear arguments in January on his claim that he has just cause to remove her. Slaughter’s and Cook’s cases are among at least four the justices are deciding in the coming months that test Trump’s expansive view of presidential authority. The court is also weighing whether Trump can impose sweeping tariffs on imports even though the Constitution gives Congress the power to raise revenue. And the court will decide if Trump's interpretation of the Constitution means he can deny citizenship to some babies born in the United States. A decision in Trump v. Slaughter is expected by the end of June.

Freakin' Paranormal Freakin' Paranormal A haunted travel guide for the freakin' adventurous. Home Podcast Blog About Contact Us! Haunted Croatia Croatia is not only a beautiful country, it has numerous paranormal sites. What stands out about Croatia is that many of the hauntings are caused by recent events, in comparison to the much older stories we have told in our previous episodes. At first, we thought this might be due to the number of modern wars that ravaged this part of Europe. There have been eight wars fought here since 1918. However, when we compared modern day to the long history of this strategically-placed country, we learned that eight wars was just a drop in the bucket of bloodshed. Starting in 791 when Charlemagne marched into Croatia and made it a vassal state, Croatia has been involved in eighty-nine conflicts. That’s a lot of loss and heartache. The Witch, the Trial and the Guy in the Tower Veliki Tabor Castle via Wikipedia This story takes place in Veliki Tabor Castle in Hum Košnički, which is near Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. The castle is now a museum and can be visited. But the story is not about the castle. It’s about a young woman, Veronika of Desinić. The land around Veliki Tabor was once ruled by Count Herman II of Celje. His son Fridrik fell in love with a local girl. Of course, the count didn’t approve. So of course, the couple married in secret in Slovenia. When the count found out, he imprisoned his son in a tower for four years—which is a welcome departure from what would usually happen in such a case. The count pursued and caught Veronika and accused her of witchcraft, because she had certainly cast a spell over his son. Why else would his son misbehave? Veronika was put on trial and found innocent. Surprise. But the count overturned the verdict. He ordered his soldiers to kill the witch. Veronika was drowned in the castle courtyard of Veliki Tabor. Legend has it that as a safeguard, her body was built into the castle’s walls. No mention was made of what happened to the imprisoned son. He probably gained forty pounds in the tower and was married off to a royal hemophiliac from Prussia. The usual… Why It’s Superstitious: Go there at night—especially a cold dark night—and you might year Veronika’s cries and wails. Go there: Veliki Tabor Castle, Hum Košnički, Croatia The Island No One Will Buy Daska Island, via https://www.croatiaweek.com/controversial-croatian-island-up-for-sale-again/ For under two million euros, you could buy Daska Island. For that staggeringly low price, you get a villa, an old monastery, a lighthouse and a couple of crumbling docks on your own private island close to a major tourist destination. Sounds like a great investment, doesn’t it? But wait…the place is haunted. You can see small J-shaped Daska Island from the city of Dubrovnik. Daska is only 1.5 miles away from shore. In fact, you could swim to the isle—but no one ever does. Locals give the island a wide berth. So that means, if you were interested in buying the house, you’d have a difficult time hiring a boat to take you out to look at it. Inhabited by monks in medieval times. Place of refuge for sailors during storms. Everything changed in October 1944. Nazis were ousted at the end of WWII. Nazi sympathizers were rounded up, taken to the island and shot. 48-53 people were executed. Bodies left unburied. The dead included the mayor of Dubrovnik and some priests. Citizens were forbidden to collect their dead. In 2009, explorers stumbled over remains of six people. Authorities found 48 more. The bodies have been buried and a memorial erected. The math doesn’t make sense, but that’s what the research said… Why It’s Supernatural Ghosts and bad spirits haunt the island. Sailors won’t go ashore. Many won’t take a boat even close. Go There: Daska Island, Croatia The First Recorded Case of Vampirism A Bulgarian skeleton stabbed through the chest with an iron bar, via Wikipedia Jure Grando Alilović wasn’t famous enough or rich enough to have his portrait painted in the 16th century, so there is no image available of him. But his legend lives on. He was born in 1579 in Kringa on the Istria peninsula. He died in 1656 from an illness—nothing out of the ordinary for the time. In fact, he was fairly old. Seventy-seven. Lucky… But after Grando died, he began to terrorize his village until he was decapitated in 1672. The local priest reported that at night, Grando would knock on doors of the village, and whatever door he knocked on, in that home a person would die in a matter of days. Grando also appeared to his terrified widow in her bedroom. She described the corpse as smiling and gasping for breath. He would sexually assault her but didn’t kill her. Small favors. The priest eventually came face-to-face with the vampire and held out a cross and called on God to stop him. But his efforts were fruitless. A villager ran after the vampire and tried to stab him in the chest with a hawthorn stick, but couldn’t pierce the monster’s chest. Kringa, Croatia via Wikipedia The next night, the priest and nine other people marched to Grando’s grave. When they dug up his coffin, they found a perfectly-preserved corpse with a smile on its face. One of the villagers sawed off the vampire’s head. As soon as the saw cut the vampire’s flesh, he let out a roar and blood burst from his throat. After the decapitation, Grando the vampire was never seen in the village again. Why It’s Supernatural: It’s a vampire tale. Enough said… Go there: Kringa, Croatia The Lokrum Curse The former Benedictine monastery on Lokrum Island via Wikipedia. Lokrum Island is off the coast of the city of Dubrovnik. Benedictine monks first built a monastery there in 1023. Centuries later, in a government takeover, a French general demanded that the monks leave the island. On their last day at the monastery, the monks circled the island three times, holding candles upside down and chanting, “Whosoever claims Lokrum for his own personal pleasure shall be damned!“ Soon after the eviction, three aristocrats involved in the land grab were dead. One jumped out a window, one drowned, and another was killed by a servant. Later owners, including Captain Tomaševic, Archduke Maximilian Ferdinand of Habsburg and his wife Charlotte, either lost their fortunes, lost their lives or went insane. Many tragedies befell the Hapsburg family members who were unlucky enough to inherit the small island. Now all that remains on the island is a botanical garden and some wild peacocks. Why It’s Supernatural: Travelers can visit the island, but locals warn them to leave before dark. The residents of Dubrovnik still believe the curse remains. Go there: Lokrum Island, Croatia (by boat) Just Bury Me, and I’ll Leave… Prandau-Normann Castle via Wikipedia The church inside the castle, via Wikipedia This is the story of a courageous young woman who just wanted some basic human decency shown for her remains—and perhaps some recognition of her courage during an attack on the fortress now known as Prandau-Normann Castle. Prandau-Normann Castle in Valpovo is one of the largest schlosses (German for chateaux) in Croatia. It houses the oldest church in Croatia. Why is the castle paranormal? Because of another ghost lady. Only she’s white this time, and not green or gray. Apparently the spirit of a girl—the Lady in White—haunted the castle until a colonel in the imperial army visited the place in the 1800s. His name was Kuschmann. He complained about seeing a ghost. Maybe he was a channeler. Maybe he was an empath. Or maybe he didn’t like his after-dinner cigar interrupted by a young girl who claimed to have been murdered hundreds of years earlier. The ghost told him her body had been thrown unceremoniously between the ice-cellar and the city chapel, and she was going to keep bothering mortals until someone found her mortal remains and buried them. The owner of the castle, Baron Prandau, couldn’t have his guest being hounded by the Lady in White, so he ordered an excavation. And what do you know? The skeleton of a female was found in the exact spot the ghost told Colonel Kuschmann it would be. Many believe the skeleton belonged to a courageous heroine, Catherine, who helped defend the Valpovo fortress against the Turks in the 16th century. Why It’s Supernatural: Catherine’s ghost no longer haunts the castle, now that she has been found. Go there: Prandau-Normann Castle in Valpovo, Croatia The House No One Will Buy Ghost in the window of the Skrinjari House via @CreepyFacts1166 This house is located in the small village of Skrinjari and is considered one of the most haunted places in Croatia. There are many reports of paranormal activities in the house and around it. Unlike most haunted places we’ve talked about, this one is a fairly recent structure. The Skrinjari House via lets-travel-more.com Built in the 1950s or 80s. The owner left the house because of the paranormal activities. The house has been on the market since 1997 for an unusually low price. There are rumors that say the owner will give the house to anyone who can spend the night there. There are lots of reasons why this place might be haunted. Built over a graveyard. Small girl fell into a well and drowned. A young woman was killed here and supposedly her body was hidden in the foundations. The owner purposely built the structure to “leave something” behind (an evil spirit). What It’s Supernatural Eerie sounds like crying of a baby, screams, strange noises, strange shadows. Apparitions of woman and small girl inside the house and around the house. Apparently, those who have tried to spend the night have ended up in mental hospitals. Two policemen decided to investigate the house. However, their equipment didn’t work inside of the house, and in the morning they were found walking the house completely disoriented.
