Patrick Bernauw: Want to make a ghost city trip, take the ghost city tour or play the ghost city game in the medieval town of Bruges, Flanders (that's in Belgium), also known as "Bruges-la-Morte"? Visit the most haunted house of Belgium and call up the spirits – the good, the bad and the ugly – with the ouija board. Meet the Succubus of Love Lake and go searching for the Holy Grail and the One & Only Holy Sepulchre. And beware... the Satanist Chaplain of the Holy Blood Chapel Is Watching You!
The Ghost City Tour or Game starts:
"In the dry bedding he dug a grave for Minna. He covered her body with a blanket of water lilies and he stayed with her a full night. After that, he let the water stream again. Soon the grave of his beloved Minna reflected the heavenly blue sky. Then Stromberg rolled a heavy black stone onto the riverbank and he hacked the letters MINNA’S WATER into it. And because the name 'Minna' meant 'love', this also meant Love Lake."
