Halloween '09- Project #1: Evil Angel

I'd like to introduce Isabeau Spanheim. She was born April 7th, 1895 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, the great, great, great, great, grand daughter of the Count of Spanheim. The following week, much of Ljubljana was leveled by an earthquake that, sadly also claimed the lives of both Isabeau's parents leaving her orphaned.



At the age of 6 Isabeau went missing while she and her nanny shopped the markets at Vodnikov Square. The nanny was questioned, then tortured when she failed to provide the childs' whereabouts. The search for Isabeau lasted for 2 weeks before the local constabulary reluctantly pronounced her dead even though her body had never been recovered. Isabeaus' death marked the end of the Spanheim lineage.



To date, it is reported that glimpses of Isabeau can be seen running through the shops and alleys of Vodnikov Square, giggling as though playing a mischievous game of hide-and-seek. Since 1891 several children have been reported missing and several more have claimed to play hide-and-seek with the long, lost Spanheim child-heiress.


Spooky, huh?
