RussiaSt. Petersburg truly, you can call the city of palaces and Russian emperors. They, being in their halls, decided the policy of our country. But sometimes there were hitches and tragic events in the Romanov family. Somewhere, rulers were killed by their comrades-in-arms, poisoned or tortured. In other cases, they ended their life suddenly. Many souls of various nobles and the ruling personages themselves still disturb the people living within their walls. Now some of them are worth talking about.
Anichkov Palace distinguished itself here, in the walls of which from time to time a certain Madame in a white robe appeared and frightened the reigning personages with her warnings. Its first attested appearance was in 1757, sixteen years after the palace was built. Further, she continued to be seen from time to time within its walls, but the lady was calm enough and did not cause anyone concern. True, in the fire of 1812, in the burning rooms from the street, her huge silhouette was visible. In the century that followed, she often frightened the emperors who lived in the palace with her presence. She tried to make contact with them. First she frightened Nikolai the first for a long time she explained something to him, he, Of course, did not remember anything from fright. She talked with his son Alexander and great-grandson Nicholas. To the latter, she told about the upcoming change of power and that he was the last of the emperors. So talking to her is a bad sign.

However, any communication with St. Petersburg Ghosts is considered a bad and bad omen. Such, for example, is communication with the founder of the city, Peter The Great. He appears sometimes in the historic part of the city on the Senate Square or in the summer park at night. So, he met Paul the first, who was returning home with his friend and was walking through the Senate Square. The emperor was dressed in dark clothes, bent down to him and spoke some words, which predetermined the location of his monument in this place. In the end, Peter took pity on Paul and disappeared. His companions assured him that they had seen nothing. However, it was noted that he turned pale and was taken aback, as if something had appeared to meet him.
The spirit of the emperor himself settled in the engineering Castle. Is one of the popular ghosts of the city. Because of the fact that it can be found today in the same place to see a man nervously walking back and forth, sometimes shaking his fist at museum employees. The spirit loves to play music, plays the flute. None of the workers and security guards like to be on duty at night in this building.
According to one rumor, in the corridors of the Winter Palace you can meet with Nicholas the first.

The administration of the institution strongly denies his presence in this building, but rumors about him multiply.
Such interesting phenomena can be found on the streets of modern Petersburg.
