Urban Legend #5: Ghosts and Mysticism in an Old Theatre.
Detective Artyom is sent on forced leave and decides to teach profiling lectures. After the first session, an unusual woman approaches him and calmly warns him that she is going to kill. Then Artyom falls asleep. From her image, only one thing remains in his memory—a vivid blue scarf on her shoulders.
He is told that he has encountered a ghost: an actress who disappeared almost a century ago. According to rumors, she appears to people in uniform on the eve of a series of brutal crimes.
The next morning, a body is indeed found in the city—and beside it lies a blue scarf. The very one.
The threads of the case lead to the archives, to the walls of the old theatre, to forgotten cults and rites where beauty and immortality are paid for with blood. But the closer Artyom gets to the answer, the more clearly he understands: behind the “ghost” there is a living person. And her reason is far more terrifying than any mysticism.
