THE SPIRIT OF THE EXECUTOR THAT RUNS THROUGH THE ROYAL CHANCERY OF GRANADA

Lorenzo Huertas, a sinister executioner of great notoriety, gained his infamous reputation in the late nineteenth century in Granada, where he applied the death penalty using the ruthless garrotte. His distinctive attire, consisting of a wide-brimmed hat and a black cloak, gave him a macabre presence.

However, after his death, unexplained events began to manifest themselves. In 1988, a humble cleaner witnessed a terrifying vision: a faceless man, dressed in the same black cape and wide-brimmed hat that characterized Huertas, wandered through the corridors of the Chancellery. This incident occurred precisely in the same place where the vile club that Huertas used to carry out his sentences had been found. Since then, numerous workers have confessed to spotting this enigmatic man, walking into dead-end corridors or entering locked rooms, only to vanish into nothingness.

To this day, the gloomy vile garrotte used by Lorenzo Huertas remains on display in one of the corridors of the Chancery, a silent witness to the mysteries that still haunts its shadowy enclosures.
