Saint Michael's Castle
Saint Michael's Castle, also known as the Engineers' Castle, in Saint Petersburg is one of Russia's most famous haunted royal residences. Built by Tsar Paul I as a heavily fortified island sanctuary, the castle became his place of violent murder in March 1801, just forty days after he moved in. Decades of eyewitness reports describe the Tsar's glowing ghost playing the violin or pacing the windowed galleries at night.
