Why is there no 11th entrance in the House on the waterfront, and the dead leopard is depicted in the paintings at the Denver airport? You can talk about some buildings not only as architectural structures, but also as riddles.
1 Pentagon
The Pentagon is the largest office building in the world. It got its name because of the shape - regular pentagon. The perimeter of this huge Arlington geometric figure is about 1405 meters.
The Pentagon is still the most optimal structure in terms of ergonomics. The building is crossed by ten corridors in the center, which connect five pentagons coming from the center.
So, an employee of the American military department can get to any point of the building along the perimeter, spending no more than seven minutes on it.
The Pentagon is all about the magic of numbers. It was built in 491 days. If, according to the Pythagorean method, we add these numbers (4 + 9 + 1), then we get - 5 (the number of sides of the pentagon). If we go further, according to the same Pythagorean method, and decide to multiply the numbers (4X9X1), we get - 36. If we calculate the sum of all integers from 1 to 36, we get - 666.
The construction of the Pentagon was planned to begin on September 11, 1941 and finish on January 15, 1943. According to the deadlines, the builders met the day. Date September 11 mysteriously accompanies the Pentagon. On this day in 1941, the construction of the building began, in 2001 the Pentagon was attacked by a Boeing, and on September 11, 2002, the entire territory of the Pentagon was put back into operation.
2 Denver Airport
The largest airport in the US. Its area is 140 square kilometers. For supporters of the world conspiracy theory, this building is almost the central link in the plans of the World Government.
According to one version, the airport was built on the site of an ancient Indian cemetery, which is why its roofs are decorated with tents in the form of wigwams. According to the official version, the tents symbolize rocky mountains.
The runways from above resemble a swastika in shape, which also cannot but arouse suspicion among people who are inclined to see a hoax in everything.
In fact, this form is the most convenient for traffic management and allows you to minimize the dependence of flights on weather conditions.
The Denver airport seems to have been deliberately built to give conspiracy theorists something to talk about. So, during its construction, despite the fact that Denver is a flat city, as much land was taken out as would be enough for a third of the city's territory. This gives some people reason to argue that the airport building is the tip of the iceberg, and there is a whole city under it, not that military base, not a concentration camp (yes, they say that!).
Raise questions and four strange paintings by artist Leo Tanguma, hanging in the airport building. As conceived by the artist, they symbolize the struggle of humanity against genocide.
Some of the details of these paintings, such as three dead girls in coffins, a dead leopard, a giant soldier in a gas mask, can be shocking. Conspiracy theorists believe that these paintings depict hints of the transformation of the earth, the establishment of a world government and a new world order.
Another interesting place- the last stone of the terminal with a time capsule, laid by the Freemasons. The capsule is to be opened in 2094. The sculptures of gargoyles in the luggage compartment are also suspicious ... In general, this airport is a very interesting place.
3 House on the embankment
The house on the Embankment was first so named in the story of the same name by Yuri Trifonov. There are many legends associated with this building and the place on which it was built.
Back in the 17th century, boyar Bersen Beklemishev began to build a mansion on this site (which was called the Swamp since ancient times), but did not have time to complete it, because he was executed by order Basil III. The construction of the building was completed by the clerk Averky Kirillov, who was killed during the Streltsy rebellion and never lived in his chambers.
Gradually, the Swamp acquired a bad reputation. Here, a gang of the famous robber Vanka Cain robbed visiting merchants, and executions of state criminals were often arranged here.
In 1927, the construction of the "house of the future" for the party elite began here. The total area of the house was about 400,000 m2. The ten-story building consisted of 505 apartments and many infrastructure facilities. There was a barbershop, laundry, shop, kindergarten, telegraph, post office, gym.
The first residents of the famous house were Beria, marshals Zhukov and Tukhachevsky, Stalin's children. The resettlement was carried out according to special government lists.
Interestingly, the House on the Embankment does not have the 11th entrance. In 1930, when the object was under construction, there was a strong fire. The developer was afraid to disrupt the deadlines for putting the facility into operation. It was decided to abandon the 11th entrance and distribute usable area between entrances 10 and 12.
The square meters of the apartments were redistributed, but where the stairs, elevators and stairwells “gone” remained a mystery. Since then, rumors began to circulate that Lubyanka employees used the “secret corridors” to monitor the residents.
The tenants were really followed, but not in such a way that it was very secret. In the house on the first floor there were secret apartments of Chekists. They worked in the house under the guise of commandants, concierges, elevator operators, and in their apartments met with their informants or hid mysterious tenants, such as, for example, a Soviet intelligence agent in South Africa Dieter Gerhardt.
4 Ostankino Estate
Ostankino has been infamous since the 15th century, when a suicide cemetery was located here. Therefore, those who were driven out of the city were strong here: witches, sorcerers.
In Ostankino, there was also a fortress theater. It is difficult to say whether this was the influence of the place or a difficult, unfree fate, but many actresses drowned in the Ostankino ponds, which were even nicknamed “actorkins”. Now there is a residential building nearby, and on the graveyard - the building of the television center. Local residents and employees of the television center say that sometimes in these parts you can meet an ancient old woman with a stick, who appears before misfortunes and tragedies.
There are several kings (Paul I, Alexander I, Alexander II), boyars, princes on the list of those warned by the prophetess. Today, in the era of television, for some reason, the ghost comes into contact exclusively with the Ostankino security and ordinary workers of the television center.
5 TsNPO Leninets
There are many mysterious buildings in St. Petersburg. The status of the most mysterious house of the times of the USSR can be carried by house 212 on Moskovsky Prospect. Here, in the building of the Central Research and Production Association "Leninets", a secret special laboratory was allegedly located, which was directly subordinate to the NKVD. Here they were engaged in the study of genetics, work was carried out on crossing different types animals.
In early 1999, documents were made public, according to which every year in the 30-50s of the last century, about 200 prisoners were sent to the special department of the Leningrad NKVD (and then the MGB and the KGB) "to conduct a holistic analysis of the physiological and mental state and develop a methodology for correcting the identified violations."
6 Moscow State University building
The Moscow State University skyscraper is one of the decorations of the Russian capital. There are many legends associated with this building. They say that the place chosen by the architects was unsuitable for construction: the soils on Sparrow Hills are too weak for such a large building. But the architects who worked on the Moscow State University project found a solution: they dug a huge foundation, filled it with liquid nitrogen, and then put refrigeration units in what is now called the 3rd basement. That is, if something goes wrong and the freezers fail, in a week the Main Building of Moscow State University will be in the Moscow River.
There is also talk that the main building of Moscow State University is as multi-story down as it is up. There are many versions of the collective consciousness: underground city"Ramenki-2", secret Metro-2, cyclophazatron, atomic reactor and even a secret permafrost laboratory.
An interesting fact: the red stripes on the facade of the Main Building of Moscow State University create the appearance of proportionality of the building. If you remove them, it will seem almost shapeless. Since the central building, the "large" and "small" zones differ significantly in height and width.
Finally, talks about the fact that ghosts live in Moscow State University do not subside: prisoners who died during construction or former students who want to settle old scores with the university.
7 Rotunda on Gorokhovaya
Rotunda on Gorokhovaya Street in St. Petersburg is one of the most mystical and legendary places in the city. This is a round building with six columns along the perimeter, to the dome of which a cast-iron staircase leads.
The house where the rotunda is located was built in the 18th century, and after that it was rebuilt many times. The dome of the rotunda is hidden under the attic, and its only window overlooks the courtyard. Everything is arranged in such a way that it is impossible to guess what exactly is hidden behind the doors of an ordinary house.
According to the most common version, the rotunda on Gorokhovaya Street was a meeting place for Masons who received new members of the club here. In favor of that version is the fact that the house once belonged to the famous Freemason Count Andrei Zubov. The rotunda is also mysterious because Grigory Rasputin himself often visited here. His mansion was very close. Since the 80s of the last century, the rotunda has become a meeting place for rockers, punks and other informals.
8 Tretyakov Gallery
They say that paintings from the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery have a special, mystical effect on people. For example, the painting “Morning of the Streltsy Execution” by Surikov caused a long, serious illness for the daughter of Pavel Tretyakov. The image of the Mother of God of Vladimir helped protect the capital from the enemy. And the positive impact on viewers of the paintings of Levitan, Nicholas Roerich can even be measured with instruments.
There is a well-known legend associated with the exposition of the Tretyakov Gallery: girls of no age should not look at the portrait of Maria Lopukhina for a long time (she died shortly after the painting was painted). She appeared thanks to secular gossips, who believed that Mary's father, Ivan Lopukhin, a famous mystic and master of the Masonic lodge, lured the daughter's spirit into this portrait.
9 Winchester House
Winchester House - one of the attractions of the United States. In 1884, the house was purchased by Sarah Winchester, widow of William Winchester, son of Oliver Winchester, inventor of the famous rifle.
At a reception at the medium, the widow learned that she was haunted by misfortunes due to the fact that her family was cursed with those who died from the Winchester (and there were many of them, given the history of the conquest of the Wild West). To avoid further problems, the woman must build a special house in which the spirits cannot harm her.
Sarah purchased a house on the west coast and invested her entire fortune in remodeling the house. The house is arranged in such a way that the spirits that haunt Sarah get confused when trying to find the widow. There are many dead-end doors that open into the walls, and stairs that rest against the ceilings. The corridors in the building are very narrow, especially since the widow was tiny and could easily move through this labyrinth. Some of the doors on the upper floors open outwards, and there are hidden windows in many of the walls. The number 13 is often found - almost all stairs have 13 steps, and in many rooms there are 13 windows.
Currently, the house has about 160 rooms, 13 bathrooms, 6 kitchens, 40 stairs. The rooms have 2,000 doors, 450 doorways, about 10,000 windows (stained glass windows have survived to this day), 47 fireplaces and one shower.
10 Leap Castle
We could not but include the castle in the list of the most mysterious buildings. Castles are generally mysterious, but this one, Leap Castle in Ireland, is considered the most mysterious and creepy.
The castle was owned by the O'Carroll family. They became famous, among other things, for often inviting their enemies to dinner at the castle under the pretext of reconciliation, and then killing them right at the table or in bed after the feast. A tradition worthy of Game of Thrones.
In the same way, dozens of mercenaries from the O'Neill and McMahon clans were killed, who had previously helped the O'Carrolls in internecine wars and received death instead of payment.
Under the dining room in the castle was a dungeon (“ubliet”), into which unsuspecting guests fell through a secret door in the corner of the hall. Its bottom was dotted with sharp stakes, on which the victims fell.
According to some reports, when the castle was restored after a fire in the 1920s, the workers found a huge amount of bones in the ubliet - it took three wagons to clean the dungeon. In total, the remains of 150 people were found. A pocket watch made in 1840 was also found among the bones, suggesting that the ubliet was used even in the 19th century.
Due to the abundance of horrors that took place in the castle, it is now inhabited by many ghosts (at least, so say the locals and psychics who visited the castle). The most terrible spirit - it is called Elemental ("natural phenomenon") or "It" - does not even have a human appearance. Eyewitnesses describe him as a bent, sheep-sized beast ready to jump. Before this spirit appears, the air is filled with the smell of decaying corpses and sulfur ... It is also said that every night a mysterious light lights up in the "bloody chapel".

Another of the scariest houses in the world is the Belmez mansion in Spain. Ghosts, in the usual sense, are not here, but there is another mysterious phenomenon. Silhouettes of human faces periodically appear on the floors of the house, which then disappear. The floors of the building were even studied by a group of scientists, but they did not draw any intelligible conclusions.
One part of the researchers believes that the interaction is to blame chemical elements floor and dampness, as a result of which there are contours on the floor, similar to human faces. Another group believes that this is a "projection" of the subconscious of the visitors of the mansion, the house can somehow "burn out" images on the floors.

I made a list of mystical houses where it is better not to take a selfie - unless, of course, you want to see a ghostly stranger in the background.
Elsa's house, Pyatigorsk
The once luxurious, but deserted, three-story, 62-room mansion has earned its dark fame thanks to the ghost of a young girl living in it. This house at the beginning of the 20th century was built by confectioner Alexander Gukasov for his beautiful bride Elsa. The happiness of the spouses was short-lived - the girl was never able to get pregnant, and a few years later her husband left her alone in the castle, leaving with another woman. After the betrayal, Elsa could not cope with her grief and suddenly disappeared in the 40s. The true circumstances of the death of the mistress of the mansion are not known, but according to one version, she began to go crazy and eventually poisoned herself with a deadly poison. According to another, she was killed, and her body was walled up in the walls of the mansion.
Since then the house has grown mystical legends. Those who dared to go inside talk about children's crying coming from distant rooms, the sound of footsteps, groans. A strange white haze or incomprehensible shadows often appear in the frame in the pictures. And on one of the balconies there is a poem written, which, according to rumors, Elsa herself whispered to one of her guests:
Popular
Find me voiceless
Wash me with rain
Find me fading
Bring back my old house.
The basement is considered the darkest place in the house - there a curious visitor can find a strange tiled parallelepiped. Maybe it is in it that the body of the mistress of the mansion rests.
Glinka's estate, Moscow region
An old house in the Shchelkovsky district of the Moscow region literally attracts tourists with its legends. They are connected with the former owner of the estate, Yakov Broyus, who was fond of science, but people's rumor dubbed him a warlock magician. Frightened peasants whispered about how he froze the ponds in the midst of summer, and then launched iron birds into the sky.
After his death, the new owners were clearly uncomfortable in the house. For some reason, they very subtly got rid of the elegant antique statues that used to decorate the territory of the estate: they were destroyed, some were walled up in the walls, and some were even sunk to the bottom of the pond. At night, creaks and groans were heard in the corridors, which forced the frightened owner and hostess to move to the farthest rooms of the mansion.
Today, the residence looks no different from other estates of the 18th century, but several special skeletons are kept in its cabinets. They say that the house has a network of secret underground passages, through which the former owner entered his "secret rooms": an astronomical observatory, a repository of archaeological finds, a laboratory and a scientific library. At the end of the 20th century, enthusiasts conducted dowsing, which showed that there really were hollow chambers under the foundation, many of which remained undiscovered. According to legend, the Black Book and the chest with Bruce's gold are stored in them, which will "open" only to his blood relative. In addition, many notice that the demonic masks that adorn the façade of the manor grimace and wink at anyone who looks at them for a long time.

Palace of Oldenburg, Ramon village, Voronezh region
There are many rumors about the ghosts and evil spirits that are found in the Palace of Oldenburg in the Voronezh region. According to local beliefs, many years ago, a talented healer fell in love with the mistress of these properties. But the young princess Eugenia did not share the feelings of the doctor, for which she was cursed along with the mansion.
Since then, strange things began to happen in the estate. The husband of the Princess of Oldenburg became interested in the occult and began to invite mystics to esoteric seances, and the son of the couple allegedly performed experiments on people in the basements of the house. It is believed that even the princess herself kept prisoners and a chained bear in the dungeon, to which she gave unwanted servants to be torn to pieces. The workers who restored the castle in the 80s of the XX century constantly complained about creaks and groans coming from the basement.
Another mysterious event happened in Ramon just recently. Museum staff found that the plaster had collapsed in the basement, and a silhouette began to emerge from the broken part formed on the wall, in which visitors can recognize the mistress of the mansion. By the way, if all your life you have dreamed of spending the night in a haunted house, then this is your chance - the Palace of Oldenburg willingly accepts tourists.
