Urban Legend No. 5: Ghosts and mysticism in the old theater. Investigator Artyom is sent on forced leave, and he agrees to give lectures on profiling. After the first lesson, a strange woman approaches him and calmly informs him that she is going to commit murder. And then Artyom falls asleep. All he remembers about the stranger is the bright blue scarf on her shoulders. He is told that he has seen a ghost — an actress who disappeared almost a hundred years ago. According to urban legend, she appears in front of law enforcement shortly before a series of brutal murders. And the next morning, a body is actually found in the city, and a blue scarf is next to it. That's the one. Artyom's investigation leads him to archives, an old theater, forgotten cults and rituals where beauty and immortality are bought with blood. But the closer he gets to the solution, the clearer it becomes: there is a living person behind the legend. And his motive is much scarier than any ghost.
