The Haunting

Gjirokastër Castle (historically known as Ergiri during Ottoman rule) is a fortress that dominates the town of Gjirokastër in southern Albania, sitting at an elevation of approximately 336 metres and overlooking a strategically important river-valley route. The supplied source notes the site includes a Bektashi türbe, indicating a religious and cultural element within the fortress complex. The provided excerpt does not give construction dates, a detailed building history, or specific events tied to the site beyond its strategic prominence and the presence of the türbe. The excerpt contains no information about hauntings, apparitions, named spirits, eyewitness reports, or folkloric stories connected to particular rooms or battlements. Any claims about paranormal activity at the castle are therefore absent from the supplied material and would require additional sources focused on local folklore or investigative reports to document.
