Mysticism and legends of St. Petersburg
In this post, I would like to share with you the mysterious legends of my native and beloved city, St. Petersburg. Will 5 photos and letters.
01. Poklonnaya Gora.
Pretty interesting legend associated with the Poklonnaya Mountain. So, one of the legends in the revolution at its foot burned remains of Grigory Rasputin. According to legend, during the combustion of the body, apparently under the influence of fire, moved, Rasputin sat down in a coffin, the crowd waved and disappeared in the flames. Since then this place came to be called unclean.
Although recent findings suggest that the body of an old man burned elsewhere. For Poklonnaya Mount firmly entrenched glory a bad place.
Also associated with Rasputin Another legend places nearby. When the April 8, 1974 the water broke through the tunnel on the stretch of forest area of Courage, the old-timers remember the legend. When Rasputin's body was carried to the Poklonnaya Hill, the car that he was driving broke. And the body, for some reason, unloaded on the ground. So, they say that it is a terrible breakthrough came at the place where had to lie down for a while Rasputin. It seems that years later he was an evil spirit Hellraiser to avenge the people of this humiliation.
02. Foundry Bridge
Foundry Construction began in the 70s of XIX century. The people called him "a stern giant" old St. Petersburg warned the builders: "Beware! Somewhere near the bottom of hiding bloody boulder, known as the ancient "Atakan." Connoisseurs of ancient legend says that this stone worship and human sacrifices unknown tribes living at the mouth of the Neva River centuries ago. Captured during wars and raids of the prisoners were killed, and their blood was sprinkled on the boulder. Atakan also was insatiable, he demanded more and more human blood. Then people began to pray to the Neva River, that she saved them from the endless murders and killings of prisoners. River relented, changed direction and swept away the terrible stone that was on the bottom. However, Atakan continued to avenge the people floated over it. That will turn the boat with the fishermen, the sailor fall overboard from a passing ship. It is not known whether the builders stumbled on Atakan but in the evening September 16, 1876 caisson, where there were twenty-eight construction workers, semi-flooded ground. Most of them were buried alive. Only five bodies were able to raise to the surface. A year later, at a construction site explosion, the cause of the explosion could not be determined.
Also, around the casting of the bridge there were rumors that his place was a "bridge Werewolf" on the night when the sky is red moon, under the bridge there is a black maelstrom that absorbs starlight and along with careless passers-by. And from there, in turn, climbs every evil. In addition, the werewolf is sometimes shrouded in a dense fog, and it turned out to be a passer disappear from our world.
With Foundry Bridge linked another legend. If during the reign of Anna Ivanovna on the orders of Biron in the wall of the bridge was buried alive some witch. And since then, he committed suicide when it is heard laughing immured.
03. "Tower griffins»
It is located in the yard pharmacy Pel and his sons at the 7th line VO, 16. The tower is unusual in that it is covered with white numbers - numbered almost every brick. Now this is only part of the tower, as the upper part of it was demolished during the siege, that on it they could not navigate the enemy pilots. In people, it is called "Digital Tower", "The Tower of the Griffin," "Tower Lone Optimist" Dr. Pel supplied to the Court of His Highness his famous "spermatozoa-Pel," who treated by senility, impotence, the consequences of alcoholism and cachexy with exhaustion. Officially, this is a great product, Doctor Pel is made from pig semen and sperm, but there were other various rumors. "Spermatozoa Pel" could become a Russian prototype of Viagra. But the drug did not stick, but many other drugs that doctors are still used in the modern pharmaceutical industry. They also say that he was interested in alchemy, the findings in this tube griffins (fruit crossing a lion with an eagle). Ostensibly these invisible Griffins at midnight flock to its nest in the tower, especially impressionable hear their screams and the roar, and at night the winged monsters emerge from his hiding place, and then you can see their reflection in the glass of the neighboring houses. The numbers on the bricks - this is the encrypted code of the universe. Whoever perechtet all the numbers on the tower, sulilos fulfillment of desires or immortality.
04. Bypass channel
With the bypass channel is connected one very long and bloody legend. In 1923, on the banks of Obvodny in the construction of a heating it was discovered an ancient pagan temple with the remains of human sacrifices. He arrived at the place archaeologist trying to stop the construction, but the authorities did not listen to him and continued to build. Stones were sent to stone-cutting workshop, then they paved curbs and bones piled into a sack and thrown into the dustbin.
In 1923, the city flooded with suicide. During the year the water closed over the bypass channel 89 persons. In 1924, everything stopped. History repeated itself in 1933, in the bypass channel took his own life 107. And so it is repeated every three years of the new decade. City catches a wave of suicide
05. Rotonda
The title of the mystical place has earned the so-called Rotunda. It is in the normal entrance on Gorokhovaya street is circular building topped with a dome (in the center, under the dome - the serpent), with columns on the perimeter. Since this place is associated in legend it is believed that the one who is unhappy in love, to come to the Rotunda and leave some inscription on its walls. However, the desire to write, not only related to private life, and gradually all the walls were covered with numerous messages. On the ceiling of the dome is located opposite the meaning of the call: "Abandon all hope, ye who enter, enter here ..." .Utverzhdayut, if the room has special physical properties - including the possibility to go into the fourth dimension. Rumor has it that a couple of years ago, a man went into the basement, he was there 15 minutes and left 70 years old. The incident with him, he did not tell anyone as crazy. In addition, it is assumed that if you went up the iron stairs of the Rotunda, close your eyes, you will never reach the end. In addition, they say that if the right to sit on rotondovskom alley (a kind of staircase), we can see the shadow of the seventh column (total of 6) .Esche another legend - who spend the night at the Rotunda can get crazy. This myth is also denied, but it is interesting that no matter how many people were convinced to the contrary, tradition and transmitted live followers. Not so long ago repaired entrance, all the inscriptions painted over (there were only traces of the columns and part of the wall outside the window) and at the door put a homophone. Now there are luxury apartments, but the "pilgrims" continue to go to their former place of worship. Residents have become accustomed, asking only to be quiet and not to litter. Sometimes the abundance of people in the entrance causes them resentment, but to deal with them is no longer possible. However, previous charges also gone - those who come, more groups can be called "tourists" Sit, chat, look at a mysterious place, and leave. What is the true story of the Rotunda, is hard to say. However, the faith in the legends, the energy of people who came here could not create in her a completely unique atmosphere. After all, the building is required to absorb the spirit of its inhabitants ...
