Description

"In the Bay of Naples, in the mid 19th century, ruled a kind of unspoken code of silence around the so called "ghost of Naples." When a foreigner asked about it, he received an answer like "Quarter past six" or "Grapes must be crushed by trampling them barefoot in a barrel" or even: "Just behind you" and when you turned round you were hit in the nape with a rolling pin. This strange behavior caught the attention of a young traveler named Sylvester Maslow, who at that time was touring Italy, one of the fundamental countries in the itinerary of the "Grand Tour." In an outpouring of rashness typical of youth, the young Maslow decided to find out for himself the enigma behind the 'ghost of Naples', and to this end he paid a considerable sum to the owner of the palazzo where the ghost was supposed to inhabit, in exchange for letting him spend a night alone in that ancient stone building.At dusk, Maslow lit the candles of a bronze candlestick and, lighting up the road with it, began to roam the deserted palazzo. Soon he got the first signs of the ghost in the form of the slaps he received at regular intervals by an invisible hand. "Ghost! Let yourself see! Don't be a coward!", the young man provoked him. But the only thing he got with it was that the next slap was stronger. So he stopped provoking it and, stunned by the blows, lay down on the first bed he found and fell asleep. But, around midnight, a rush of cold air made him shake and he woke up startled. Someone had pulled back the curtains and opened the balcony to let the moonlight pass. Then he saw the ghost, and regretted have asked him to let himself be seen........"
