12 popular Moscow ghosts

Recently, in the compilation "25 facts about Moscow," we wrote about the fact that the capital of our country supposedly roam the 12 ghosts, tales of which have long since become urban legends. Today we want to "introduce" you to this dozen.

The Black Monk (Aleshkinsky forest Art. Metro "Glider") He usually appears in damp warm weather when it rains. Tall, with blue-white face is very thin, dressed in a long black robe, silently moves he Aleshkinskomu forest from Kurkina. Interestingly, when a bird "monk" does not fly and the dogs do not bark at him. According to legend, it is the people on the eve of a great misfortune. And one of the authors, unfortunately, was convinced of it personally, since she had to meet that ghost in August 2000, the day before the explosion in the underpass at Pushkin Square.

Who is he and why here goes - is unknown. Locals say it is impossible to hail a black monk and talk to him. Otherwise, you and your loved ones will certainly happen trouble.

Fatal mother (Nikulinskaya Street Art. Metro "Southwest") On this street are frequent car accidents. And on a completely mystical reasons. The driver suddenly starts chuditsya quiet female voice crooning lullaby. Before the eyes gets a mirage: a green garden, a young girl on a swing, a baby in her arms, she lulls. So mesmerizing is the vision that "the audience" loses control, jumps into the oncoming lane ... In rare cases, people stay alive - these lucky people and a legend of rock mummy.

Limousine Beria (Malaya Nikitskaya street, Art. Metro "Barrikadnaya") where at night you can watch a strange apparition: from the Garden Ring to the house where he lived before Beria, the sound of approaching cars and riding a small point of light. This sound effect - absolutely echoing sound of the engine of the limousine of the first half of the twentieth century. The house where once lived Beria, now is the Embassy of Tunisia, a ghost car stops, hear the man out of it and what is talking with an invisible security guard. Then the car leaves to come back the next night.

Unholy family (now serving art. Metro "Novokuznetskaya") This area has always been famous penchant for devilry. For example, the night is translucent cats roam. A whole flock of cats, cats and kittens just come out of one wall, cross the street and disappear into another wall. In principle, they are harmless even for dogs. But if you stand in their way - certainly will lose consciousness. While this can happen at a distance: Ghost - not a sight for the faint of heart. Let even a cat.

The old man Kusovnikov (street Myasnitskaya st. Metro station "Pure ponds") erected next to a building in east style shop "Tea. Coffee "is quite an ordinary multi-storey building built before the Revolution. The place where it is built, is due to Moscow's famous ghost - old Kusovnikovym. There once stood a house in which the end of the nineteenth century lived Kusovnikovy wife, known in the city of wealth and phenomenal avarice. The couple rarely went to visit, do almost no one took and never fed the poor. Moreover, already elderly people, they even servants of greed is not kept.

But at night Kusovnikovy taken with her jewelry box and shabby gig we drove around the city, thus has protected their wealth from thieves. However, once they are, going to one of his estates, hid the money in a closet. A janitor in the absence of the owners made a fire. After returning home and looking into the lodge, the couple saw the flames on the very spot where they kept their savings, but almost all denominations have burned. The old woman died Kusovnikova supposedly in place, and the old man, hastily arranging a funeral for a long time fussing before the city authorities, that he "traded, exchanged, and restore" damaged banknotes.

And now here in the evenings there is a "gray-haired old man" in a ridiculous long coat and wails: "Oh, money, my money!»

Cat Behemoth (Tverskaya Street, Art. Metro "Pushkinskaya") In Tver, say twice a month wandering the huge fat black tomcat. Perhaps it was from him, not from his house cat Flyushki Bulgakov wrote his Behemoth. It is exactly the same as his relatives in Pyatnitskaya, coming out of the walls of the building and out the other. This kotyara even listed in the International Directory of ghosts.

Phantom giant (Sretenka, Art. Metro "Sukharevskaya") At the corner of Sretenka and Daewoo Lane on the wall of a building sometimes there is a huge black shadow. Peasant ghost growth is not small - about the second floor. The KGB archives are still stored memo two workers, who in 1920 met with the ghost began to shoot at him with a revolver. Anything good that they do not have - along with the ghost disappeared and the one whom they escorted - gave tear while security officers struggled with the phantom. To appear before human eyes the mysterious ghost is rare and does not cause trouble.

Bibliologist Rubakin (Pashkov House, Art. Metro "Library. Lenin") area around the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, called Chertolye cursed even during the construction of the temple in the XIX century. And the House of Pashkov and all connected simply a record number of legends (except that it has outdone demolished Sukharev Tower). On one of them, when you come to the Lenin Library in search of some rare books - be sure to ask for the help of the famous bibliographer Nikolai Rubakin that once bequeathed his huge collection of library books. If not refer to it, the necessary information is there is unlikely.

Themselves heard: sometimes in silence in the reading room footsteps. Wraps - one. Maybe it goes to the very Rubakin?

Dushegubets with Vladimir Highway (Gorky highway) said that in different parts of the highway (and in the city, and the Moscow Ring Road) is not seen as out on the road scary bearded man who looked like a normal homeless. Like, come out and standing on the sidelines, waving his hand. And if you stop the car, "the man," says the strange phrase: "Forgive me, my good man." Many witnesses noticed that a strange vagabond goes hard, "as if the chain of a drag." Legend has it that it was a ghost robber convict, deprived the lives of over a hundred people dead and at Vladimir Highway "without repentance and burial».

It should be noted that modern Gorky highway in the old days really had a bad name. In the Middle Ages the path connecting the center of the North-Eastern Russia and Kiev, and it is on this road Moscow witch flying on the Sabbath witches of Kiev. And then there were criminals in Moscow and St. Petersburg to hard labor in Siberia. The landmark on the Sparrow Hills prison convicts shackle and pursued by Vladimir Highway.

If you happen to see at the Gorky highway ghost murderers, waving a hand, in any case, do not stop the car, but if they stopped and heard the request: "Forgive me, good people!" - Answer: "God forgive you!" - And leave immediately.

White Shadows (Guryanov Street Art. Metro "Printers") The tragedy occurred on Guryanov Street recently. But now on the site bombed houses are already brand new high-rise towers. Nothing, it would seem, it does not resemble what happened. But they say the builders who worked here, have often heard the baby crying, and some scratching sounds. Many could not stand: to ask to another object. And the locals who happen to pass by this place late in the evening and at night, often see vague as a cloud, white shadow and hear muffled groans.

Knowledgeable people say that white shadow will disappear, and moans and cries will cease only when those responsible for the death of people who died in the explosion of houses on Guryanov Street, will be punished.

Grey Crew (Kuznetsky Most Street) It is known that in the nineteenth century, Kuznetsky Most Street were mainly fashion shops and gambling houses. According to legend, if the casino after midnight, leaving the loser, losing all their belongings and started cowardly to think about suicide, immediately before it shows a gray carriage, drawn by magnificent crows, and the driver for some reason turned away to the side, offered his master to take him, where darling please, for 10 cents (normal "tariff for" cab within the Garden Ring was then 30 - 40 cents). Those who took such a "favorable" offer, no one has never seen.

Of course, in our time of Kuznetsky Most and cars passing something rare, not to mention the gray carriages. It turns out it was just a ghost Moscow legend.

Headless Khovansky (Yaroslavl highway) at Sophia, as you know, has been canceled, one of the most barbaric executions in Russia - burying alive in the ground. But two great men of that time - father and son Khovansky - yet were trampled in the causeway for assaulting a village Vozdvizhenskoe Sophia. Their ghosts still a no-no and will appear in the former Trinity Road. There are two of them and always asking passersby to put in a word for them, to bury them, as it is necessary for the Christian canon, and Prince Golitsyn and for slander Khitrova called to account. As any normal person to communicate with ghosts maximum that way - is terrified goggle, Khovansky begin to ask more carefully - remove the head, like a hat, and bow even louder.
