Locals say that the demonic spirits are still trapped inside of the house where Verdeguar lived.<\/p>\n<h2>Carrer Francisco Giner<\/h2>\n<p>In 1935, the entire building of the Francisco Giner Street witnessed paranormal events. The press release\u2019s found regarding the event entail that numerous people living in the building witnessed furniture flying around the room, and heard loud banging noises throughout the wall. The story tells that an ill child living inside of the building created the alleged poltergeists.<\/p>\n<h2>The Ghost of the Opera House<\/h2>\n<p>La Rambla is one of Barcelona\u2019s busiest and most famous streets. Half way down visitors will reach the Gran Teatre del Liceu Opera House, apparently cursed with bad luck. The opera house is said to have been built on top of an execution site from the Middle Ages. Since its erection in 1847, the Gran Teatre has suffered three major fires, one including an anarchist bomb attack.<\/p>\n<h2>The Singing Market<\/h2>\n<p>Visitors walking further down La Rambla will find the Boqueria market, built over the ruins of the Carmelite Descal\u00e7os de Sant Josep convent. One of the most notorious tales tells the story of a group of dead friars appearing together to sing one night to a group of horrified brothers of the congregation. The deceased choirmen marched back to their tombs in the cemetery. After the townsfolk heard stories of the walking dead, a crown attacked the convent, injuring and killing many Carmelites. Locals say that you now can hear singing in the market every night on July 25.<\/p>\n<h2>Happy Birthday, Pablo!<\/h2>\n<p>Pablo Picasso, was born in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/M%C3%A1laga\">M\u00e1laga<\/a>, Spain, and would have celebrated his 135<sup>th<\/sup> birthday yesterday (October 25).
