Many have probably more than once happened - by occupation or due to life circumstances - to find themselves in someone else's apartment or house, in a hotel room or office.
But the new place did not always welcome guests, giving them a lot of trouble and excitement, and sometimes frightening things that go beyond the limits of human consciousness.
Hotel surprises
At the end of the 1970s, the Oktyabrskaya Hotel in Tomsk became famous for the fact that in one of its rooms there was a mirror, on the glass of which blood-red geometric shapes appeared for no apparent reason.
In the 80s of the last century, the guests of the Biysk Hotel Tsentralnaya were disturbed by the restless spirit, nicknamed the "trash bastard". As soon as midnight came, he began to scatter the contents of the dumpsters.

"Bad" apartment
In 2008, having entered one of the universities in Omsk, Elena Sviridova moved from a rural hinterland to this regional center. The girl rented a small apartment on the outskirts of the city for a reasonable fee. However, very soon strange events began …
The problem was the old creaky bed the student was sleeping on. Despite the fine days and the two duvets with which Elena covered herself, she could not get warm - a strange cold emanated from the bed, which penetrated to the bones. One night, the girl began to feel as if something was crawling over her.
Thinking that it could be bedbugs or cockroaches, she jumped out of bed in fright several times, turned on the light and examined herself and the sheets. However, no insects could be found. And one day the girl woke up and felt how something heavy and invisible fell on her and began to choke. It took Elena a lot of effort to get out of the ice bed and jump out onto the landing …
The neighbors ran out to the screams of the tenant. From them, the girl learned that for a long time an old woman lived in this apartment, who was strangled by her nephew, who wanted to take possession of the living space, on the same bed three years ago. He was sentenced to a long term, and distant relatives of the murdered woman began to rent out the vacated housing, in which none of the tenants stayed for a long time. Apparently, after the tragic death, an elderly woman protected her apartment from strangers.
Office horror stories
An equally curious story happened to a resident of Irkutsk, Viktor Ivanchenko, who in the 1990s happened to work as a driver at the Bodaibo gold mines. One day in mid-September 1996, a man came to the Solnechny mine on business.
Due to the muddy roads, Ivanchenko was delayed on the road and arrived at the enterprise only at the end of the working day. In order not to force Victor to sleep in the car, the mine management arranged for him to sleep in one of the office rooms, where there was a sofa and an electric kettle.
When the administration building was empty, Ivanchenko closed the office door from the inside, boiled a kettle, took out a bottle of vodka from a travel bag and, having prepared a simple dinner for himself, settled down at a bent-legged table.
After drinking the first glass, Victor brought a spoon of boiled noodles to his mouth, but suddenly he heard the floorboards creak in the corridor outside the door. In the next instant, the locked door silently swung open, and a tall man in a long leather cloak and leather cap entered the office. The stranger sat down opposite Ivanchenko on the sofa and stared at the driver with colorless eyes.
Recovering from an unexpected night visit, Victor invited the stranger to dine. The guest in the raincoat sighed loudly, got up and, bowing his head, left the office. Discouraged, Ivanchenko followed the visitor, who, having walked several meters along the corridor, suddenly … disappeared into the wall.
The next morning, after questioning the employees of the department, the stunned Victor learned that at night the ghost of the guard killed six years ago during the "golden" showdown appeared to him. Like, he, as if not noticing death, continues to visit his native enterprise.
Country host
One day in late autumn 2001, a beaten and frightened homeless man was brought to the Pervomaisky District Department of Internal Affairs, serving one of the large districts in the suburbs of Barnaul, who told the police officers an incredible story.
According to the man, the day before, as he usually did every year, he made his way to the territory of the Ogonyok gardening partnership, which had been deserted after the summer season, and after a short search, he easily entered a solid two-story brick house, intending to settle there for the winter.
As soon as he got inside, the man saw a huge, in a massive frame, a portrait of a gloomy old man with an evil expression on his face, hanging on the wall of a spacious room.
The homeless man's heart skipped a beat, however, not heeding his inner voice, the homeless man began to inspect the contents of the cabinets in the hope of making some profit. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed some movement in the portrait, turned to the picture and with horror saw how a high, almost to the ceiling, gray shadow separated from it. In the next instant, a strong blow knocked the intruder to the floor.
With a loud cry, accompanied by a hail of slaps in the face, the bum jumped out. Immediately after that, logs, pieces of reinforcement and rubble flew into it. A gray transparent figure with incredible force grabbed the alien by the collar, tripped him, threw him from side to side.
Trying to escape from the tenacious paws of invisibility, the homeless man began to zigzag through the narrow streets of gardening, finally ran out onto the highway and, seeing an approaching police car, desperately waved his hands, trying to attract attention.
At the end of his story, the man asked the police officers not to register the incident and promised to never appear in this gardening again.
