Only True Stories <\/h2>
A bad reputation has firmly stuck to some places in Odessa, where, according to locals, it is better not to go after dark. We offer the most famous Odessa legends, the authenticity of which you can verify yourself. <\/p>
Shevchenko Park — Abode of Ghosts <\/h2>
In the mid-19th century, there was a quarantine cemetery on this site, where people who died from infectious diseases were buried. At the beginning of the 20th century, the cemetery was covered with earth and planted with trees. However, in 1905–1907, the secluded and quiet area of the Quarantine Administration became the site of mass executions of criminals and anarchists. According to citizens, strange shadows flicker on the park alleys at dusk. Random passersby say they have seen the silhouette of a woman dressed in an old-fashioned dress. Who knows, maybe the ghost of Sonya the Golden Hand is wandering here? <\/p>
Tairov Haunted House <\/h2>
The legend of the murdered priest's family is known to many Odessa residents. The abandoned house where the holy father lived with his family is located near the Tairov Cemetery. This abandoned building has been terrifying locals for many years. At night, blood-curdling moans and strange sounds come from the ruins. People living nearby are sure that these are the "crying" souls of brutally murdered people. If you are not afraid of ghosts, experts from Dobovo<\/a> advise renting an apartment in Tairovo and checking the truth of the scary tale. <\/p>
Many people avoid the empty house in the village of Usatovo (on the way to "7th Kilometer"). Scary rumors have long circulated about it. Locals claim that the house is cursed, so all former owners either committed suicide or were killed. There are two versions of the misfortunes. According to one, the bones of its first owner, an old sailor who bequeathed to bury his body in the walls of the building, are walled up in the house. According to another version, a witch's house stood on the site. The old woman died, and her body was buried in the yard. Be that as it may, at night moans and screams are heard from the house, frightening passersby and neighbors. <\/p>
The catacombs are a landmark of Odessa, shrouded in mysticism and secrets. The length of the underground passages exceeds several thousand kilometers. There have been numerous cases of people and entire expeditions disappearing in these dungeons. However, this does not frighten daredevils and thrill-seekers. Experts advise going underground only accompanied by an experienced guide. <\/p>
The hill in the northern part of Odessa has long attracted lovers of the unknown. Residents of nearby areas have repeatedly seen flying balls and strange glows here. Archaeological excavations have shown that ancient Greeks worshiped their gods and performed cult rituals on this site. Ufologists are sure that a beacon for alien ships is hidden in the mountain. If you dream of seeing a UFO with your own eyes, choose an apartment for rent in the Suvorovsky district of Odessa.<\/p>
The best way to verify the truth of Odessa legends is to see everything with your own eyes! Not afraid? Then have a nice trip!<\/p>
