On Yakimanka, in the building of the French embassy, a ghost is often noticed, which was even given its name "White Woman".
The architecture of the embassy itself is very similar to the classic Russian tower, it was built by order of the merchant Igumnov and then donated to his mistress. The merchant lived in the glorious city of Yaroslavl, and when he was in Moscow, he visited his passion.
Before his arrival, the merchant's trusted servant, went to the lady of his heart and warned her about the imminent visit of his influential patron, but once Igumnov came to the house of his mistress without warning and found her in a warm embrace with his young lover. He threw Lovelace out of the house by vazasha, but the mistress after this scandal was no longer seen and no one knew where she disappeared.
No investigation was carried out, but rumors circulated in Moscow that a jealous merchant had killed his young mistress and immured her body in one of the walls of the mansion. For the time being, otherworldly forces did not appear in the building, but after the revolution of 17, a dormitory for employees of the State Sign was created in this house by order of Lenin.
Once they threw a merry celebration in the building, glorified their godlessness, sang obscene ditties and suddenly saw the ghostly figure of a girl in a white robe floating around the hall. After this unexpected meeting, the legend was born that this is the ghost of the unfortunate mistress of the merchant, whose restless spirit is immured somewhere in the walls of the mansion.
