Komsomolskaya Square in Moscow is often referred to as the area of three stations. Here is one of the most sinister and criminal places in the capital, where crooks of all stripes, homeless people, prostitutes and beggars gather. It is possible that they are attracted here by a special black energy.
According to legend, in the XIV century there was a monastery on this site. One night, a terrible storm broke out - it was pouring heavy rain, the wind whistled. And then a stranger knocked at the gate of the monastery, asked to let him in to wait out the bad weather.
But the monks refused for some reason. Then the wanderer in his hearts cursed the monastery, wishing him to go underground. Immediately, the walls allegedly shook and the building actually began to collapse.
They haven't built anything here for three hundred years. Finally, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Quiet ordered to build in this place the so-called traveling palace. A wooden watchtower was erected under him. And this place became known as the Kalanchevsky field.
On the western bank of the Red Pond, where the Yaroslavsky and Leningradsky railway stations are now located, a field artillery yard stood since the end of the 17th century, but it burned down in 1812 after the explosion of shells lying there.
In the 18th century, an Italian entrepreneur decided to build a wooden theater on the cursed place. But the building burned down three times.

In 1860 the marshy area was drained and the construction of the Nikolaevsky railway station began. It was named so in memory of Emperor Nicholas I. The station, which was to connect Moscow with the then capital, Petersburg, is now called Leningrad.
From the very beginning, there were many problems with construction: more than once workers died, walls collapsed, and they had to be rebuilt.
Later, two more stations were built here - Yaroslavsky and Ryazansky (the future Kazansky), and then, already under Soviet rule, they began to build a metro station.
In July 1934, at an eight-meter depth, workers stumbled upon some buildings. It turned out they were at least six or seven centuries old. Archaeologists decided to carry out excavations, but suddenly a heavy rain began in Moscow, which did not stop for several days.
As a result, the adit, where old buildings were discovered, was flooded, and its frame began to collapse. Komsomol metro builders with incredible efforts prevented the collapse. In honor of their labor feat, both the former Kalanchevskaya square and the metro station were named Komsomolskaya.
They say there are temporal anomalies in the area of the three stations. For example, passengers were late for the train, as it seemed to them that only a few minutes had passed, but in fact, hours passed. In addition, people have disappeared here many times.
And on the square of three stations sometimes there is a mysterious old man with a long stick, dressed in rags. He stops in front of the Kazan station, falls on stones and crosses himself three times. And then it disappears to no one knows where.
It is believed that this is the same wanderer who was not allowed to stay for the night by the monks. Tries now to atone for his sin.
