People have long known that there is another world around them, inhabited by invisible creatures that can sometimes disturb the peace of the inhabitants by their appearance. Until now, scientists are conducting discussions with specialists in parapsychology, trying to find out the nature of the most famous ghosts and ghosts, but we will walk through the mystical places of their appearance in Moscow.
According to legend, all sinners have a chance to correct mistakes after death, so they remain wandering around the planet if they were cursed or summoned by magicians. Not everyone knows that ghosts and ghosts are different from each other, because the former are always attached to familiar places and are often not dangerous to living people. The second categories relate to the souls of deceased persons and can be aggressive, but the appearance of such entities is always associated with important information regarding the witness of events. Many of them, before the appearance of phantoms, experienced a feeling of fear and cold, after which they wanted to quickly leave the objects. Lovers of mysticism show great interest in such anomalies, although ghosts are indifferent to the earthly world.
Spirits who died from a violent death can pursue the culprit of their death, and deceased relatives appear in dreams to warn of danger or help with advice. For the first time, historians recorded information about the appearance of ghosts 2000 years ago, and then scientists made repeated attempts to study their properties, but without having achieved success they began to deny such phenomena. However, millions of people on Earth have proven that ghosts are real and exist, so now you yourself will learn their stories and can yourself try to become eyewitnesses of such events.
1. The ghost of a black cat on Tverskaya street
The most famous metropolitan ghost of a black cat on Tverskaya Street is often seen by lovers of night walks, who then tell how he jumps out of the wall of a building several times a month, then to hide in another house. The staff of the Museum of the Revolution, together with the leadership, repeatedly witnessed the appearance of a huge animal and were even able to capture it in a photo. Therefore, it was entered in the world directory of anomalies, and also brings good luck to people who were not afraid to go here late at night on a date with the spirit. Also, many writers claim that it was he who became the prototype of the Behemoth in the famous novel by Bulgakov.

2. Alyoshkinsky forest and the ghost of a black monk
This picturesque and historical place has long been popular with Muscovites, and the village of Alyoshkino itself in the old days was the property of a relative of Boris Godunov, and then after his death it was presented for merits by Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich to Semyon Golovnin. Then the patrimony belonged to monasteries, survived the invasion of Napoleon, but in the 80s it was demolished due to the Olympics. Now only the forest reminds people of the events of ancient times, but during romantic walks along its paths, many couples saw the pale ghost of a black monk in a hood wandering through the thickets on a warm and rainy day. Often a phantom appears near the Kurkino district, frightening residents, who say that you cannot talk to him, but you need to turn away and quickly leave the road. This ghost is a messenger of great troubles, which the old people saw on the eve of the war,and then it appeared before the terrorist attack in the passage on Pushkin Square and in front of "Nord-Ost".
3. A ghost car on Malaya Nikitskaya street
Near Beria's house, where the foreign embassy is now located, on moonless October or April nights at night from the Garden Ring, the sounds of an approaching car with dark armored windows, released in the 1940s, are suddenly heard. Then this brand was intended only for the elite, including Stalin's assistant. But you can look at an empty street for a long time, trying to make out the transport there, which remains invisible until it stops near the building. Then the spectacle begins not for the faint-hearted, because they listen to the invisible person talking to the guard and loudly slamming the doors of the car leaving in their direction.
4. Creepy headless ghosts of the Yaroslavl highway
Drivers often, while driving around the Moscow region on the Yaroslavskoe highway, fly into a ditch after creepy headless ghosts appear on the road at night, holding their body part in their hands - but what have they forgotten in this corner? In ancient times, Trinity Road saw many historical events, the last of which is associated with Princess Sophia. When, after the riot, Ivan Khovansky was executed together with his heir Andrey, there were many versions concerning the personal relationship of Peter I's sister with the prince. One thing was clear, he did not want to share power with his mistress and even wanted to marry her son. The queen's servants fraudulently captured the traitors and beheaded, and instead of burial, the bodies were thrown in the swampy banks of the Vori. Then the inhabitants began to hear groans and ghosts of noble persons appeared on the road,praying living people to put in a word for them before the ruler, so that they would be buried as Christians. But the sight of these martyrs taking off their hats with their heads while bowing terrified the eyewitnesses of the meetings, so that until now the spirits cannot find peace in the earth.
5. The caring spirit of the former Lenin library
Now the caring spirit of Nikolai Rubakin, who donated 75,000 books from his personal collection, continues to live within the walls of the former Lenin Metropolitan Library. Employees and caretakers often hear the steps of the writer in the store, and he also likes to visit the reading room and look into other rooms to check order. The ghost settled here in 1946, when his literature, along with his ashes, was transported from the house, and then the urn rests in the Novodevichy cemetery, but the patron himself did not want to leave the building. You can always turn to him for help in finding the book you need, but then you should wait and not turn around when invisible footsteps are heard behind your back. After the phantom leaves, the desired item will be on the shelf.
6. Dangerous ghosts of the Kuznetsk bridge
Moscow old-timers often talk about the dangerous ghosts of the Kuznetsky Most trying to harm belated passers-by. On warm nights, a charming female figurine of the Frenchwoman Josephine, who worked as a milliner in a clothing salon before the revolution, hovers above him, and this beauty was also Savva Morozov's mistress. When she rode in a carriage in the morning, in this place she heard terrible news from a newspaper seller concerning the death of her patron. The girl wanted to buy a room, but she fell under the wheels of oncoming traffic, and the doctors could not save her life. A couple of days later, the boy was found strangled by the stockings of this person, after which the journalists who wrote the article were killed in a similar way.
Since then, representatives of the press did not want to walk along the bridge, fearing the revenge of a ghostly person, and even now her anger can touch the feather sharks if they appear here after sunset. The second phantom in the form of a gray carriage, driven by a silent cab, has not appeared here for a long time. Previously, he always stood next to the casino, after which he offered desperate players an easy way to another world, and then no one saw these people. The revolutionaries closed the gambling establishments, so that the mysterious spirit disappeared, although it could simply change its image and catch modern lovers of life.
7. The ghost of a pregnant woman arranges an accident on Nikulinskaya street
Capital drivers try not to appear unnecessarily in this place, where accidents often occur due to mysterious circumstances. The survivors of the accident often talked about hearing a female voice singing a song to a baby. Further, a picture of a blooming garden appeared before my eyes, where a young mother with a child was swinging on a swing, after which the driver in a trance found himself in the oncoming lane. It turned out that earlier in this place a pregnant woman had died as a result of a hit by a reckless driver, and now the ghost is taking revenge for the killed lives.
8. The most famous haunted house is located on Bersenevskaya Embankment
Walking in this corner of the capital, guests immediately pay attention to the complex of structures built in the 30s and standing on the Swamp Island. Now it is a historical monument, but it is also the most famous house where the ghosts of past eras live, frightening impressionable visitors. Twice a year, they see Malyuta Skuratov wandering the stairs and floors, unable to receive forgiveness for their sins, and many residents of the elite building before the war became victims of repression. In the 16th century, the territory of this corner of the land was notorious among the people, which was reflected in the fate of the boyar Berseni Beklemishev, who built his mansions here. He was executed because of freethinking, and the new owner Averky Kirillov was killed by archers during a riot.
Then the robbers were executed in the swamp and there were chambers for torture during the time of Grozny, connected by secret passages with the Kremlin. But Stalin did not pay attention to superstitions, so in 1927 he ordered to build the houses of the future here, where the country's elite was supposed to live. In addition to outstanding scientists, war heroes, writers and officials, the Chekists lived in separate apartments, only then the tenants were talking about the ghostly girl with chains in her arms, the appearance of the guardsman and the spirit of the robber Vanka-Kain. After the Stalinist purge, invisible voices and various sounds began to be heard, and the late writer Eduard Khrutsky personally witnessed such events during his lifetime. In the evening he was standing on the balcony and heard the sounds of the pre-war tango, distributed in the walls of the empty apartment of neighbors. When the surprised man rang the doorbell, everything was silent, and she herself was open,and there was no one here except empty rooms with bare walls. Then the writer learned about the family of an official who lived here before the war and loved this melody. After the arrest, all the relatives died in the camps, and their spirits still live in their home.
9. The ghost of old Kusovnikov on Myasnitskaya street
Now on this street you can see an interesting building in oriental style, where there is a tea and coffee shop, but often at night the ghost of an old man in shabby clothes strolls around it, who annoys people with his questions about missing money. In the 19th century, on the site of this house was the Kusovnikovs' mansion, famous for their incredible greed. Despite the enormous wealth, the spouses saved on every little thing and had never been in the world, and except for one watchman they had no servants. The couple kept their savings in hiding places, constantly checking them for availability, but one day she had to leave and hide the money in the fireplace.
Only after their return did the old people see only ash, because the watchman decided to melt it with wood and warm his sick wife. From such an event, the lady died from a sudden blow, and the owner rushed to the authorities to ask for help and restore the spoiled money. He did not manage to carry out his plan, so soon the person went mad and died, and his spirit is still looking for a burnt state. Meeting a phantom brings people trouble and loss of savings.
10. Ghost of the White Lady in the house of the merchant Igumnov - Bolshaya Yakimanka
The amazing building, reminiscent of an old Russian tower in architecture, keeps the dark secrets of its owner inside. People often saw the ghost of the White Lady here, which first appeared to the factory workers in the 1920s. Then a club was made from a historical cultural monument, where the employees celebrated the holiday, but in the midst of the fun everyone was numb when a mysterious translucent figure of a beautiful girl in a white outfit floated through the air and disappeared into the wall. Then the people talked for a long time about this phenomenon, but then it became known that the lady was the mistress of a wealthy merchant who had built a luxurious house for her in a not prestigious metropolitan area.
She was bored because of the rare visits of the patron and decided to have romance with young admirers, so that one day the merchant found his beloved at home with an officer whom he drove out into the street, and immured the traitor in the wall of the building. Since then, her spirit has been roaming the rooms, and the curse of the architect Nikolai Pozdeev played a big role in this. When the house was built, the society out of envy called it bad taste, and the owner, out of chagrin, decided to blame the architect for everything and even accused him of wasting money. Then the man said that no one could live in this place, after which, in 1901, Igumnov was expelled from the capital without the right to return back.
11. Kremlin ghosts of history still frighten people
The Moscow Kremlin is also no exception in the mystical tour, as it has seen many grandiose events throughout its existence. Shadows of past eras roam on its territory and in buildings, and employees often hear knocks and voices in their offices in the evenings, after which objects begin to fall, locks break and strange spots appear on the floor. Now they are reluctant to go out to meet people, but you can often notice the vague figure of Ivan the Terrible, wandering around the bell tower, always appearing before great tragedies. Lenin also loves to enter his office, which has become a museum, and his ghostly footsteps are heard in the room after midnight. Sometimes you can see the ghost of Stalin appearing during the next crisis, and other famous people of history sometimes appear near the ancient walls.
12. Spirit of the owner of the Pashkov house
Muscovites are well aware of the majestic and beautiful building, towering on Vagankovsky Hill, from the balcony of which Woland and Azazello looked at the capital for the last time. Back in the 18th century, the traveler Richter called it the castle of fabulous dreams, built by the order of a former military officer. Then, in front of the facade, guests saw a wonderful garden, where exotic birds walked along the paths against the backdrop of pools and a fountain, and inside there were often performances and musical evenings with illumination. Now the historical value keeps many secrets within its walls, but many scientists are sure that under it there are underground passages leading to the missing library of Grozny. But no one manages to get there because of the spirit of the owner of the house, wandering through the rooms and sighing about the old days.
13. Sukharev tower and the ghost of the warlock Jacob Bruce
There are many legends about this associate of Peter, but we are interested in the events of 1701, when the sovereign decided to found a navigation school in the tower together with the first scientific center. Then famous scientists gathered here for their research and were teachers of young youths, only people talked about the terrible witchcraft things that Bruce did in her. His office housed many valuable manuscripts, among which was the book of Solomon, which served the magician to predict the future. Even the tsar could not take it in his hands, since it simply disappeared into the air, and after the death of the warlock, none of Catherine's servants could find this miracle.
The NKVD also dismantled the building brick by brick, but apart from Bruce's archives and documents, nothing was found. The owner himself continued to scare people with his appearance in the office, where the blue light often burned, and his death was associated with a magical experience, when he made the elixir of eternal youth, and then ordered the servant, after the murder, to cut it into pieces and pour liquid on the body. Then the experiment almost succeeded, and the body of the deceased began to connect, but his wife decided to take the potion and interrupted the process. Therefore, the ghost was forced to settle in the tower with the book, and in the 30s, when the old church was dismantled, the remains of the count were found in the crypt along with clothes and a ring. They disappeared along with the decoration, but the sorcerer's outfit can be viewed in the historical museum.
14. Restless white shadows on Guryanov street
The locals of this metropolitan area do not like to remember the terrible events of 1999, when a terrible explosion destroyed two buildings at night due to a terrorist attack. Then 106 residents died, and 264 people along with their children received various injuries. Many people could not be found, and the authorities were not going to restore the houses, so they were simply blown up, and eyewitnesses of the event told reporters how the remains of clothes and parts of the victims' bodies were taken out of here along with the garbage. At that time, many workers were frightened by the eerie nocturnal sounds of screaming and crying children, after which they preferred to change the object.
New buildings were erected on the vacant lot, only the residents often saw mournful white shadows near them, groaning along the way. They do not harm the living, as they expect that all the perpetrators of the crime will be punished.
