Many scaring stories circulate about this so called "House of the spirits" isolated over the lagoon, in the north of Cannaregio, some steps from Madona del Orto church. This large 16th century house is indeed part of the Contarini del Zaffo palace. Some say one can hear uncanny noises coming from it at night, other that they have seen flickering lights through the windows. Some say that magical rituals took place there. Others that back in time the deceased used to be put here for a while before being sent to San Michele. I've heard too that in recent years, some rich owners renovated the house and had one bathroom paint in black... Anyway, these owners, disturbed by some "ghosts", didn't live here too long.
