Have you ever, while staying in a hotel, heard the old, long-forgotten mill in the courtyard working at night, the floorboards creak in the next room, and the sounds of a concert that took place more than two centuries ago sound in the hall in complete silence?.. More and more travel agency clients are asked to find something unusual for them. We present to you the five most mystical hotels and guest houses in Russia.
1. Musical ghost in the hotel "Tavrida" (Yalta)
Last summer in the Yalta hotel "Tavrida" (in 1875 - the hotel "Russia", a unique historical and architectural monument, built by the architect A. K. Vinberg) an anomalous incident was witnessed. As a tourist Svetlana told the hotel concierge, a strange phenomenon prevented her from sleeping all night long: “I could not sleep, it always seemed to me that when I turned off the light, someone was walking around the room and singing”. Indeed, the walls of the apartments keep echoes of the concert of the composer Modest Mussorgsky and the opera diva Daria Leonova, who rested and performed at the hotel in 1879 …
2. The Stranger in Black at the Old Mill
There is an unusual mini-hotel in Baikalsk, created on the basis of an old mill. In ancient times, local residents were afraid of this place, bypassed it and said that something unclean lived here, although the mill was working properly. The only visitor, legend has it, was a mysterious stranger in black, with a cock's feather on his hat. Every new moon he came to the mill in a heavy cart and grind something on the seventh, "dead" (usually not used) millstone. This mill knock still wakes up hotel guests at night. But in the daytime it is pleasant to relax here in the bosom of nature - to go snowmobiling and skiing (there are ski slopes nearby), take a steam bath and a sauna.

3. Ghostly private residence in Yalta
The house, which now houses a private residence in Yalta, was built in the 19th century by the chief architect of Crimea, N. P. Krasnov, the author of the Livadia Palace and other famous architectural creations of Crimea.
In the last century, a doctor lived here, and immediately received patients. Tourists tell us that when you walk through the spacious corridors and rooms of the estate, for a moment you plunge into the past: from time to time you can hear conversations and muffled groans of patients who have long been dead … And the interior with high ceilings and windows reminds us even more of those times.
4. Medieval knightly rest house in Kazan
This brutal guest house was built in honor of one brave knight who saved a little bear cub from the claws of a hungry lion. In one of the corridors of the building there is an artificial mannequin-bear monument - as a reminder of the feat.
5. Black crow in the Leningrad region
For a long time in these parts, near the cottage on the Scandinavian highway, a strange black raven settled. Where he came from, no one knows, but everyone loved him. When a black silhouette appears on the horizon, everything around is transformed and becomes like in a fairy tale.
