St. Petersburg is a mystical city, ghosts can frequently be encountered there. A little invisible lady lives on the Troitskaya Square near Peter the Great’s house. In Mikhailovsky Castle, there is a ghost of the murdered emperor Pavel I. The ghost of the first director of the Academy of Arts, architect Kokorin is wondering around the Academy’s corridors. When the weather is bad, at nights somebody knocks at the Academy’s gates and shouts, “It’s me, sculptor Kozlovsky from Smolenskoe cemetery, I got wet and frozen in my grave…open the door!” A sad ghost of architect Monferran is wondering around the Isakievsky Cathedral. When the architect was alive, he was predicted that he would die right after he completed the cathedral construction. A thin young lady – Shishiga- is walking on Lieutenant Schmidt’s bridge and complaining about her misfortunes. On the opposite bank of the river Neva, near Petropavlovskaya Fortress, famous princess Tarakanova is crying bitterly.  However, the most frightening ghost is Sofia Perovskaya, the member of the terrorist organization within the Socialist-Revolutionary party existing in the beginning of 20th century and conducting assassination attempts on czars and government officials. In a nasty day of March, a young lady appåars on the bridge of the Ekaterininsky Channel. Her face turned blue because of suffocation, there is a purple trace from a rope on her neck, she is holding a white handkerchief in her hand to give signals to the bombers.

Nizhni Novgorod

The most mystical place in Nizhni Novgorod region is Svetloyar Lake having ghost town Kitezh on its bottom. In 1238 the town sank when Tatars besieged it. Magi paternoster transferred town Kitezh in some parallel dimension where the town still exists. It is guarded by a Wonder-Fish, a Russian kind of “Loch Ness monster”. Something weird happens on the shores of Svetloyar Lake as well. UFOs fly over the lake occasionally, last time a whirligig-shaped UFO was seen there in 1998. In winter, a snowman shows up in the area, and he lives 1.5-meter traces on the snow.
