Employees of the Pavlodar regional museum of local lore were frightened by poltergeists. Surveillance cameras recorded movement of strange silhouettes through the halls, Channel 31 reports.
Night watchmen have complained about strange entities before, but now there is confirmation of this, according to the museum.
The creak of old steps, incomprehensible sounds - these are still flowers, they say in the museum. While watching the videos, employees noticed floating circles. The building in which the Pavlodar Museum of History and Local Lore named after Potanin is located was built in 1890 by the merchant Artemy Derov.
Since then, it has never been empty. There were trading stalls, a hospital in wartime, and later a postal and telegraph office. The architectural monument was transferred to the museum in 1977. Therefore, the museum staff were almost not surprised by the poltergeist.
“Our night guards, our watchmen, were the first to tell us about it. Young guards, they were even afraid to spend the night in this building. When they even turned to the management, they even wrote statements that we wanted to leave,”says the chief custodian of the funds of the Pavlodar Regional History and Local Lore Museum. G. N. Potanina Aliya Zhomartova.
The stories of museum workers are like tales from a crypt. For example, when the first night excursion was held here, an ancient wall clock suddenly fell, they assure. The nail and fasteners remained in place.
However, there are enough skeptics outside the museum. IT specialist Evgeniy Shultays, having looked at the footage, suggested that it was still light defects.
“This is definitely not a montage. I doubt that someone is sitting there and playing with bunnies. Something floated, but there could be anything. I doubt this is some kind of poltergeist. I would like to see more videos. Let them carefully write it all down, put it off, and we will study the whole thing, it will be very interesting,”says IT-specialist Evgeniy Shultays.

The museum also has its own "magic" stone that fulfills wishes. Such statues do not wander around the exhibitions. They have their place of honor.
The fact that ghosts live in museums is not surprising, employees say. It houses rare luxury items, things that have absorbed the energy of millennia.
That is why fans of theories about the existence of spirits and ghosts often search for them in archives and repositories. However, many skeptics believe that in this way museum workers want to attract new visitors and tourists. Ghosts were noticed in the museums of Semey, Karkaralinsk, Almaty, and now - Pavlodar.
