Stromovka Park | Haunt of the Fish Eater

The Fish Eater of Stromovka Park

If you happen to be wandering about the tree filled Stromovka Park on moonlit nights you must beware of the Fish Eater of Stomovka Park! An extremely dangerous ghost this Fish Eater used to be in his living days the aide of General Windischgratz who bombarded the city of Prague in 1848. The Fish Eater in life was a mysterious man from an aristocratic Carpathian family and was also said to be related distantly to the one and only Count Dracula. This mysterious man used to bathe in the moonlit nights in the ponds of Stromovka Park and often stated that he was captain of the pond fish as he was a tad bit crazy, or he imagined the fish to be the lower ranking soldiers from the war. The captain lost his life in Prague after a Miller named Vondra took his life by beating him to death with a stick. Vondra threw the mutilated body of the Fish Eater in a pond and there he stayed rotting in the mud until long after the Austrian troops left the city. Now with his family background he very well could have been a fantastic vampire, however the water and mud weakened him even in his afterlife state. He is now destined to feast on the blood of rotting fish in the murky shallows of the ponds of Stromovka. Do not underestimate him for he wishes for human blood the most! Take our advice and stay away from the ponds in Stromovka Park at night!
