Ghost of the Engineers' Castle: Apparitions, Ghosts and Mischievous Cadets

A story written by Nikolai Leskov, previously unknown to English speaking audiences, is now available in English as audio book.

The Ghost of Engineers' Castle is a classic masterpiece featuring not only numerous accounts of apparitions, ghosts and other paranormal events appearing at the famous location in St Petersburg, the story also shows how ghosts and paranormal activities manifest themselves in our societies and influence not only our literature, but also behaviour and traditions.

In order to reproduce the atmosphere of events described by the author, Nikolai Leskov, production studios used special audio effects including blasts of lightning, growling winds and others.

It appears that these studio effects will now have additional final touches imposed either by the ghosts mentioned in the script or by some other paranormal forces taking interest in this production.

Apart from interfering with production process, these forces appear to have taken some interest in the theme tune which supposed to appear as separate track.
