A curious photo “surfaced” on the Vkontakte social network: old, almost collapsed Tikhvin church in an overgrown meadow in the village Timokhino in the Nekrasovsky district. Such as there seem to be many in country. But the beauty of this photo is that on the background of the church clearly visible … ghost!

Photo author (nickname “Sashka Varaksin”) signed: “Here’s a picture thing on a cell phone. Village Timokhino, Yaroslavl region – ominously, however. “Yeah, not that word!
A strange white spot is visible in the lower left corner. And it hurts too much It looks like a silhouette of a girl. Maybe this is a mystical place attracting ghosts? – Extremely known about the Tikhvin Church few. Like about Timokhino himself. We don’t even know where took the name of the village. It is understood that in honor of a man named Timothy, but who is he? – the head of the excursion shrugs her hands Department of the Nekrasov Museum of Local Lore Natalya Kopylova. Well, if even historians do not know, then the mysterious photo becomes more interesting! Blown up church on the Internet is still a bit Confirmed by historians, there is information about the village and the church. They write that a small but cozy church of the Tikhvin Icon of God Mothers built in 1797 with the money of a wealthy peasant Semen Jerichova. To this day, only Baroque decoration has remained “skeleton”: five-headed quadruple. There was once a bell tower, and refectory, but the years of Soviet power did not spare the structure. And from the once prosperous Timokhino left just over ten houses with two dozen residents and several abandoned buildings. Standard Russian wilderness.
Previously, a road ran from Yaroslavl to Kostroma in these places. It’s logical that on the sidelines here and there small villages like Timokhino. Here, even once there was a Prison the house in which the Decembrists were kept. Why was it? He is, only today even locals call this old building a match for the ruins of the Tikhvin Church, the school and do not know what was in old times. A strange white spot is visible in the lower left corner. And so painfully similar to the silhouette of a girl. Maybe here is mystical a place attracting ghosts?

Tikhvin Church was closed in 1950. The structure was not dismantled brick – they blew it up (a local resident blew up the bell tower, crushed stone). “I came here in the sixties,” says Claudia. Vasilyevna, a resident of Timokhino. – Already then they left the church some ruins. Local dismantled it for building materials … Timokhintsy dream of reviving the Tikhvin Church, but the hope is very weak: who will donate several million to restore almost a disappeared church? – There are many others in the Nekrasovsky district churches XVII-XVIII centuries built, some are monuments architecture. But does this stop them from collapsing? – complains Natalya Victorovna. – In addition, their status of maintenance money is not adds up.
A dead bride? So maybe a ghost roaming the ruins transparent reproach to the local – they say, did not save the temple of God? Or that a dead bride who never married? After all, next to the church there is a cemetery. Old, overgrown, with rickety crosses – all in the best traditions of thrillers. By the way, they still bury there. Romantic and mystical versions are, of course, always interesting. Here are just professional photographers skeptical relate to them. – It seems to me like a ghost, since the subject is clearly not far from the lens. Just something got into the frame. Most likely, a spikelet. But it turned out interesting, that’s for sure, – Yaroslavl photographer Sergey Afonichev believes. – How many churches filmed – never caught ghosts in the frame. And here is the blur of the object I often do in front of the lens on the set – this is how it turns out ghosts.
