Haunted library

In the zone around to Peace square, there is a library where students go to find books for their jobs. A night, when the caretaker of the library gave the closing warning, a friar that was studying seemed just not to want itself any to go; the guardian repeated it more times that he had to close, but the friar did not answer. So the man got angry and swore: suddenly the friar raised himself and gave him a slap. The poor caretaker fell to earth, passed out. When the morning after was waked up, someone who was helping him, told him that he had to stop drinking too much... but the signs of the five fingers that he had on the face remained a mystery!
This event is so famous in Rome that became a movie: the name is "Fantasmi a Roma" ("ghosts in Rome") and in the cast there is also Marcello Mastroianni. If you want to meet the ghost you have to go here very soon or late (just few moments before the fastener). For more, post me. Dblk

I checked out everything in your archives, very interesting. Italy sure has a lot of ghosts! Loving the site...keep it up1
