It's time to summon ghostbusters to the capital of Belarus. Residents of Minsk increasingly began to meet poltergeists on the streets. The houses and streets of the old part of the city are literally teeming with secrets. In one inconspicuous building, four ghosts settled at once, all of them victims of a love drama. According to legend, the merchant's daughters fell in love with the tutor. Of all, he chose the youngest, the correspondent of "Mir 24" Polina Sribnenko.
“The older daughters found out about their half-sister's plans and decided to tie her up and throw her into the basement. It was in the spring. The river overflowed, and the basement was flooded, and the girl died,”says local historian Khristofor Khilkevich.
Bereavement pushed the tutor to a crime. He killed the sisters and took his own life. They say that you can see the unfortunate in the spring, during floods.
A mermaid lives in the city river Svisloch, right next to this house. Love, or rather, the groom, also brought her to such a life. Out of jealousy, he drowned in the river. Here she settled forever.
It is unknown who scares tourists on the narrowest street in the city - only three meters. Complaints about nocturnal footsteps and clattering hooves have become a regular occurrence. The former home of the Masons is also nearby. In the 18th century, meetings of the Order of the Northern Torch were held there under the heading "top secret". Crazy concentration of the supernatural per square meter.
The city hall of Minsk also turned out to be a haven for a lonely ghost. Three centuries ago, the courtyard became a place of real bloodshed. Adventurer and hero of Belarusian novels Michal Volodkovich started a fight. He wounded several people and damaged the crucifixion of Christ. It was not possible to obtain forgiveness. The bully was dealt with cruelly - lynched. Since then, he has not been able to calm down. Occasionally visits tourists, but only out of curiosity.
During the war, Minsk was almost completely destroyed. As the city was restored, old legends were recalled, and with them its mystical inhabitants revived.
