TALLINNSECRETS.EE— Hidden in Stone

Haunted Wall on Laboratooriumi Street

The wall and towers on Laboratooriumi Street create a setting that readily inspires ghost stories.

On Laboratooriumi Street, visitors walk beside a long section of Tallinn’s city wall. Towers, the narrow street and evening shadows create an atmosphere easily associated with apparitions. The available account identifies no verified sighting or named ghost. Instead, notice how a medieval defensive structure affects the imagination today. The stone is genuinely old; the unease comes from the encounter between a person and a place.
