Borghese Dynasty and Ghosts Across Europe in One Tale
A long feature on Prince Scipio Borghese and his storied Milanese family, their Rome palace legacy, and ties to European nobility, followed by a column describing ancestral ghosts at Blickling Hall and other manors. The piece blends high society intrigue with legendary hauntings and aristocratic connections across England, France, Hungary, and Spain. It touches on the Duke of Leinster, the Erskine lineage, and a London baroness baron, interweaving romance, scandal, and superstition.
