New photos with a phantom girl from the Krasnoyarsk Museum of Local Lore appeared on the Web, which put the researchers at a standstill. In 20 old black and white photographs and four glass negatives, there is the same girl, wearing the same clothes and with the same facial expression.

Earlier it was reported that these photographs were taken in the years 1906-1908. The pictures capture landscapes, city views. Museum staff are still wondering who this girl is and for what purpose the author took these pictures. Some believe that the girl could be the daughter or niece of the author of the photographs.
According to the museum staff, the author of these photographs could have been Nikolai Ivanovich Grigorovsky, the owner of a bookstore in Krasnoyarsk, or the famous photographer Ludwig Yulievich Vonago. However, the researchers were puzzled by the fact that in the corner of some of the pictures the initials "F. E. A." are indicated, which do not fit any potential candidate.
“Many of these photographs are hanging in institutions, in cafes. We see and know them. But for some reason, for more than 100 years, no one paid attention to the fact that the same person is present in all the pictures. Today we do not know who she is, why she is present in the photographs, why exactly in this form, why in the same clothes, why the same age, why at least she does not smile,”said the initiator of the study, Dana Benyumova.
