In the center of the armory capital there is a fortress with nine towers, one of which had a torture chamber. Robbers and thieves were punished in it. The tortures were terrible: people were hung from hooks and beaten with belts, which caused many to die in agony. The atmosphere here is gloomy. Locals and tourists say that photographs near the tower often show glowing diamonds and spirals (nothing more than the souls of deceased people) .
There is another legend: in the 16th century, during the raid of the Crimean Tatars, the inhabitants of the city tried to escape behind the walls of the Kremlin, but one girl did not have time to run inside and died. The guards of the fortress said that since then they had periodically seen her crying soul near the gate.
There are several abandoned haunted mansions in Tula. They are all connected by creepy stories.
Another ghostly lady can be found in the park of the Bobrinsky estate in Bogoroditsk, Tula region. According to legend, the count liked to invite famous people to visit. One of them was a count from St. Petersburg. The girl fell in love with a local gardener, but he did not reciprocate. Due to unrequited feelings, the Countess threw herself into a pond and drowned. Locals say they see her ghost in the park.
Lysaya Gora is a high hill in the Aleksinsky district of the Tula region. Here, in 1999, a local historian found ancient choppers, arrowheads and knives with small drawings. The objects depicted little men, animals and flying saucers. After the unusual discovery, the mountain became a place of attraction for psychics and ufologists. Many of them stated that the objects found were the creation of aliens.
There are also mysterious caves in the Aleksinsky district. Their walls are decorated with rock carvings in the form of unknown creatures, flying saucers.
The story is less than a hundred years old: in the village of Krapivna, after the end of the Second World War, the authorities decided to build a road. They chose an unusual place — next to the soldiers' cemetery. Locals call the road "cursed", and this is not for nothing, because fatal accidents are especially common here. The victims are mostly young men who did not want to serve in the army. Some people believe that this is how dead soldiers take revenge for their unwillingness to become defenders of the Motherland.
Locals say that there was a tomb with burial in the refectory of the temple. A blue coffin with gold legs and a lot of expensive utensils were found here. Those who excavated and plundered the burial site were punished with sudden death or prison. Coincidence or not is not known.
The mystical places of Tula, which are shrouded in legends and mysterious events, side by side with urban romance, hidden in the landscapes and shadows of urban architecture. They become a magnet for those who want to solve unexplained phenomena and mysteries.
