An abandoned house stands on the outskirts of the small town of Ukhtomsk in the Moscow region. The windows of the house are boarded up with wooden boards, blackened with time, and the plaster on the facade has almost completely collapsed. There are no more people who remember this house as beautiful and inhabited. But the rumors around him, one more terrible than the other, and over time they only multiply.
The history of the house is as dark as its modern look. The last owner of the house, Vladimir Nikolaev, passed away over a hundred years ago. He was a prominent and wealthy man who lived on a grand scale: gourmet food, gorgeous women, hunting in the surrounding area, expensive alcohol, and so on. The day came when he was fed up with debauchery and entertainment and wanted the usual family happiness. The girl he liked was from a poor peasant family, but very beautiful.
To the chagrin of her parents, the girl flatly refused a profitable marriage, and then Vladimir Nikolaev forcibly took her from her native hut to his rich estate. Rumor has it that since Nastya crossed the threshold of Nikolayev's house, no one else has seen her. Yes, and Vladimir from that day has changed a lot: he became gloomy, overgrown with an unkempt beard, he began to treat the servants like slaves. And a month later he was found dead in his own home. No injuries were found on the body, but horror froze in the wide open eyes. There was no doubt that Nikolayev's heart stopped with fear. And Nastya was gone.
Nikolaev did not have direct heirs; over time, the estate fell into decay. The house began to enjoy a bad reputation among the locals. We saw light in the windows at night, although the house had long been empty. And they also say that none of those who tried to enter the building never came back.
More than a century has passed since those events, but even today only cats enter that house. They, unlike people, are not afraid of evil spirits.
