It would be surprising if the rich history of St. Petersburg was limited to exclusively pink bikes about the 19th century cats. Ghosts, wandering among architectural monuments, are just waiting to scare a visiting tourist. Or even eat, why not?
Victory Park
Walking through the St. Petersburg Victory Park, you may see that some people are squeezing with shoulders, and some look slightly dumbfounded. In fact, the park hides a terrible mystery: during the blocks of the blockads, they were harmoniously buried the dead from the famine of Leningradians. Of course, in Soviet times there were no funeral rituals, therefore, there are still rumors about unaccustomed souls, wandering through the alleys. In the nineties, someone invited a priest there, who, of course, read the appropriate prayers, sprouted the surroundings of the holy water, but in the end he said that all these actions "as a dead kap."
Marso Field
Before the foundation of St. Petersburg, there was a swamp in the place of the current Marsov fields. During the construction of the city, people periodically disappeared there - which, of course, was explained very simply - "drown." However, in the 19th century, several cities were missing in the same place. According to the legend, during the patrols of the Millionnaya Street, one of them heard laughter, a water splash and someone's strange voices from a military spot, broken at the place of the drained swamp. Leaving a partner, he went to see what was going on there, but did not return back.
Ghost of the St. Petersburg Metro
During the construction of the run between the stations, the Victory Park and Elektrosila in the 1950s there was an explosion of liquefied gas, as a result of which a worker died. After this occasion, the mechanists of the night shifts began to sometimes notice in a tunnel figure of a person in a specialist. Then the mysterious cases began to occur and at all - people fell from the perons and escalators, and those who remained alive, one of the vote was told that the man had a man in a bloody specialist and pushed them. In the 1960s, these cases stopped as suddenly, as they began.
Owl channel
The bypass canal at all times used the terrible reputation as a favorite suicide seat. Despite the fact that the channel depth is relatively small, almost all attempts to commit suicide, rushing into it, turned out to be successful. However, sometimes unfortunate managed to save. Having come to themselves, they said in one vote that they did not want to reduce the scores with life at all, however, being on the bridge, as if they had lost their own will and rushed down. Most often, this is explained by a simple coincidence, but someone considers these cases by the action of the curse of drunkenness, which, allegedly, lure people into the water.
House of Soviets
About the House of Soviets walks the most common St. Petersburg city legend. The historical fact is that this building has never been used for its intended purpose, and what really was there, no one knows exactly. It is said that in the Stalin's times, genetic experiments were carried out in the basements of the house. After some time, the project was closed, the laboratory was filled with concrete, but one of the inhabitants got out from there and settled under Earth, near the metro station Moscow. Some people assure that, having descended at night in the underground transition of this station, you can hear the muffled howl.
Sphinches
As you know, almost all sphinxes existing in St. Petersburg were exported from Egypt. There is a growing belief that they all carry Egyptian curses on themselves, and the worst, allegedly, is imposed on those that are standing near the Academy of Arts. Some people relating to the sphinxes or stayed next to them for too long, went crazy: someone is quite harmless, as a professor of geometry, who began to read the lecture "Why do a person need pants?", And someone and the tragic consequences. In the 1970s, they talked about the case when a man who visited Sphinxes suddenly killed his wife, after which he hanged himself.
Avtovo.
While in Avtovo, some people feel a vague concern, the cause of which they are not clear. In fact, there were several villages in the place of the current Avtovo earlier, which were extincting by early 19th century. In 1824, the famous flood was happening, described by Pushkin: Local River Rushensky left the shores and fell entirely half a graveyard. It is believed that after that the entire area was made by the inhabitants of the ridiculous ghosts.
Narva Zavada
Narva Zavada is one of the most gloomy sites of the city. In this area, one of the highest urban performance for murder, suicide and accidents. The fact is that it was here in 1905 a work demonstration shot, known as "Bloody Sunday". They say that earlier, in the winter twilight, when the lighting was much poorer, unclear silhouettes could be seen under the goal.
Malaya Okhta.
Nowadays, Ohta is an area with a weakly developed transport infrastructure, sad houses, industrial zones and a rather painful atmosphere. These places used bad glory before the revolution - both due to objective reasons (the area was considered very "turbulent" in the criminal plan) and because of the stories about the unclean strength. The reason for such an attractiveness of this place for the unclean, may be rooted in Petrovsky times. Here was the Swedish fortress of Landskron, which was exhausted by the troops of Peter I. Many people died in a fire flame. They say, from the same time, on the empty night streets, Ohta heard someone's steps, and in the dark you can see the unsubstantial ghostly silhouettes.
