Athanasia's House in Thiseio (To fantasma tou Thiseiou)

Attica · Greece · Haunted house

Behind Thiseio station stands a house where weeping is heard. The neighbourhood calls her Athanasia and says she never got her wedding.

A block behind the railway station in Thiseio stands a house Athenians connect to a girl named Athanasia. The story says she lived there in the 1930s, was betrayed by her fiance and abandoned by her own family, and took her life inside. What is said to have stayed is the sound: a muffled, persistent weeping heard through the walls at night, clearest from the street below and always from a house standing empty. Neighbours describe how the sound stops the instant someone knocks at the door. In Thiseio the legend is told as much as a warning as a ghost story, and it has followed the district through nearly a century of demolitions, conversions and new tenants.
