Ghost Church from Badosi
On the main road between Craiova and Bechet harbour, Dolj County, about 25 km south of Craiova, in the municipality of Bratovoiesti, in Badosi village, there is a ghost church built in the 18th century, near the village.

This old church seems to have been forgotten by the people, having part of the roof fallen in, and severe damage on part of the inside walls.

The Saints painted on the walls have all lost their eyes, removed for unknown reasons.

There is a story that wizards used the powdered paint of the eyes for magic rituals, while others say that the pictures were defaced by Turkish soldiers in the 19th century, but no one knows for certain.

But, as with many other churches, this one is already dead, forgotten by the people, my brothers and sisters.
