Blood Transfusion station

Станция переливания крови, Волгоград, Volgogradskaya oblast', Russian Federation

Description

According to legend, a ghost haunts the area of the blood transfusion station.

At the time of Tsaritsyn, there was a church and a cemetery here, recalls Alexander Naumenko. According to the urban legend, a tragedy was played out here on the grounds of jealousy. Merchant Kotov, madly in love with a young girl from a very wealthy family, came out of the temple and saw a carriage passing by in which his passion was hugging a young man. The sight shocked the man so much that he did not hesitate to rush after the carriage, jumped into it and stabbed first an unknown rival, and then his beloved screaming in horror. Rumor has it that then the unfortunate was seen on the banks of the Volga. He was crying and trying to wash his blood-soaked clothes. And closer to night, the merchant went to wander around Tsaritsyn and at the place where he saw the traitor, stuck a knife in his heart.

Since then, the merchant's ghost occasionally appears near the blood transfusion station. According to eyewitnesses, the ghost looks like an ordinary person, but walks through the air and his hands glow. Seeing the lovers, Kotov asks them if the guy and the girl love each other, and if he gets an affirmative answer, he tells his sad story.
