Moika Palace
Moika Palace, the opulent Saint Petersburg residence of the fabulously wealthy Yusupov family, is famous worldwide as the site of Grigori Rasputin's assassination in December 1916. In the secret vaulted basement chambers, the mystic monk survived cyanide poisoning and gunshots before being dragged to the icy Moika River. Today, visitors and staff report chilling apparitions, cold spots, and heavy footsteps echoing through the cellars.
