Volzhsky Boulevard
The region of Kineshma is famous for its anomalies: there are ghosts in the local penal colony. Not so long ago, the builders of the sanatorium witnessed strange phenomena: oaks in the grove disappeared before their eyes, and people jumped from the forests. Many centuries ago, there was a pagan sanctuary on the site of the town of Kineshma, perhaps it was there.
Therefore, I suggest you walk along the main street of the city - Volzhsky Boulevard, and try to find traces of the presence of ghosts.
