In old photos of Krasnoyarsk saw the "girl phantom"

Photographs of a century ago from the Krasnoyarsk regional Museum continue to attract the attention of Internet users unusual girl who, as it turned out, captured on 20 old pictures, taken in different places of the city in the period from 1906 to 1908. The mysterious stranger, obviously a teenager, is present in the photos from Krasnoyarsk attractions. While all shots of the girl in the same clothes and pose, therefore, fans of the mystics have dubbed her "the girl phantom."

In early 2016, the Museum was published on its website a message calling those who has any information about this man or about the author of the images. Soon the messages on this topic was published in the Federal and in the foreign media. Most publications have tried to focus on the mystical underpinnings of the phenomenon and related the story to the category of urban legends, and the girl is called "phantom" and even "Ghost", appealing to the fact that the unknown appeared on the images only in a hundred years, before no one noticed her, although the pictures are often hung in well-known places of the city of Krasnoyarsk. However, such assertions have little to do with reality because, firstly, all glass negatives image of the girl is present, and second, specialists have proved that those photos were not mounting.

One of the main theories explaining the presence of the photographs of a strange girl, was the assumption that the unidentified girl was a daughter or relative of the photographer from Krasnoyarsk. It turned out that the originally as the authors of the images Vonage and hryhorivs'ka could not take these photographs and images only came from their collections. In addition, an unknown element remains, and anagram, the letters did not coincide with the initials of one of the famous photographers of the early XIX century. However, it is possible that the photographer was visitors.

Another version was that the author of the images actually needed to capture the important city objects, many of which, like the bridge over the Yenisei river or the building of the railway station, was strategic. The girl in this case, the author was placed in the frame to divert attention of urban residents. And then, the discrepancy arises due to the fact that the facility was not built at one time, thus the photographer would have had to go to Krasnoyarsk for several years, and the appearance of the girls during this time had to be changed. The clue to the history of images with a girl is not found till now.
