13. Black Monk
You can meet this otherworldly guest in the Aleshkinsky forest (Khimki forest park). His story is unknown. He is a tall, thin man, very pale. He is dressed in a monk's robe. There is one difference from ordinary monks: his head is covered with a hood. They say that he appears only in rainy weather. He likes to talk and often tells people how to save a lost soul. Park guests who have never heard of him may mistake the ghost for a madman. Remember: you should never talk to him, otherwise misfortune will happen to your family.
Interesting fact. The Black Monk was seen on the eve of terrible events: the terrorist attack in the underground passage on Pushkinskaya Square and the tragedy at the Nord-Ost.
12. Lavrentiy Beria's limousine
Lives on Malaya Nikitskaya Street. The ghost car drives up to the house where this politician once lived. Usually it stops there, and then Beria's ghost gets out of the limousine and gives orders to the driver and guards. If rumors are to be believed, Lavrenty Pavlovich offers girls a ride in a luxury car. The frivolous beauties who said "Yes" to the ghost were never seen again. Most likely, this is fiction, but Beria really did have a weakness for beautiful women.
11. The ghosts of Alexander Herzen and Nikolai Ogarev
On the observation deck of Vorobyovy Gory you can see two unusually dressed men. These are the ghosts of Alexander Herzen and Nikolay Ogarev.

10. Old Man Kusovnikov
Myasnitskaya Street also has a bad reputation. A rather famous ghost lives here – old man Kusovnikov. He lived here with his wife in a huge mansion (on the site of houses 17 and 19). They were very rich, but they saved on everything. Soon, disaster struck: they lost all their fortune. The Kusovnikovs kept their money in a large box, and this time they decided to hide it in the stove. A servant lit a fire, and only some of the banknotes were saved. Kusovnikov’s wife could not stand it and died, and Alexey spent the rest of his life trying to get his wealth back. Attempts to exchange the burnt banknotes were unsuccessful, but even after his death, Kusovnikov does not retreat from his goal. The old ghost still regrets the lost money. To prevent this story from repeating itself with you, keep your money in reliable banks, and not under your pillow.
