What actually happened

The knight Erazem of Predjama held out against an imperial siege for over a year before he was killed in 1484, betrayed by a servant while using the privy.

The history

Built into the mouth of a cave, the castle has stood for more than 800 years and is run today by Postojna Cave Park alongside the cave system.

What people report

The park's own page notes that a Discovery Channel crew reported the castle inhabited by ghosts; visitors have reported figures in the cave passages behind the walls.

That paragraph is reported tradition, not a claim about what is there. The history above it is sourced; the stories are recorded because people tell them.
