From the noisy spirit, which was not afraid of the priest, even had to flee to another apartment
Izhevsk woman Daria Ivanova (name and surname changed at the request of the heroine - Ed.) In 2015 moved to an ordinary three-room apartment on Voroshilov Street with her daughter. After filling out all the papers, repairs began. The new settlers did not even suspect that a spirit would settle in the apartment with them, which would force Daria to turn to priests, paranormal specialists, a psychic and the editorial office of the portal.
I don't even know how to say … a poltergeist lived in our apartment
Daria's story began in 2015. New house, new apartment, new neighbors. After the move, together with my daughter, they took up the repair. But then their new neighbor said that a man had hanged himself in their apartment. Then the women of Izhevsk did not pay any attention to these words, they lived quietly for a year, but then everything changed.
It all started with banal little things. For example, an old heavy hood left by the previous owners turned on, the cat began to play as if with some invisible object, and in a closed teapot they found a lid from a large burner.

The first thought is that the child of the previous owners is playing pranks, since they forgot to give one set of keys. We decided to change the locks. True, this measure did not last long. One day Daria's daughter called and said: "I'm afraid!"

- I hear it starts rustling loudly in the corridor. Then it was quiet. And suddenly it rustled again. We were still renovating, and the entire corridor was covered with plastic. I thought that the cats were furious, I turned around - one cat was lying on the couch, the other in the house … - the girl recalls.
From that moment on, the life of Izhevsk women changed. Sharp objects began to disappear or find themselves in another place: scissors, a knife. So one day Daria washed the dishes and wiped the table, turned away, heard a rustle behind her, and when she turned, there was a knife on the empty table. It was then that the landlords of the apartment remembered the story of the man who hanged himself.
It gets even worse. The hostesses heard strange sounds: the creaks of the floor, the ringing of "peas being poured in." Unexpectedly, the TV could turn on, the chandelier on the kitchen ceiling swayed as if someone had touched it.
From time to time, the hostesses could find various items in the oven. Photo: Ekaterina Ardasheva.
The spirit showed itself to the hostesses live
Three years have passed since Daria and her daughter moved to a "strange" apartment. But in the end they made a decision: "We must move." Two months later, in the new house, the situation repeated itself exactly.
As last time, it all started with little things: the floor scales turned on by themselves, a plate with plums was mixed, a salt shaker was in the bag, in the oven there were missing curtain clips. At night, the chandeliers turned on, things disappeared, doors opened. The niece, who somehow came to visit, felt that someone hit the seat from the inside of the sofa.
“I thought I’d lose my mind. When I was alone at home, I sat with a flashlight: I was afraid that the light would suddenly turn off, - recalls Daria.
And one evening a strange guest did show up. An Izhevsk woman saw a strange shadow with her peripheral vision. A dark silhouette slipped alongside and disappeared into the room, and a cat ran after him and looked in his direction for a long time.
Priest and paranormal experts
The attacks of the spirit continued. When Daria and her daughter lived in the first apartment on Voroshilov Street, they invited a priest. Father placed candles in the apartment and lit them. Only one candle fell and there were bite marks on the wax. The lighting of the apartment helped, but not for long. After a couple of months, the spirit took up the old business.

The second in the list of fighters against poltergeist was the psychic. He gave Daria the charmed earth, which had to be sprinkled in the apartment, but this did not help.
The Izhevsk woman turned to the "ghost hunters" from Sarapul for help. Experts checked the apartment with special devices and confirmed that it was a poltergeist. The attempt to get in touch with the spirit failed. They even tried to lure him out with a needle, but he did not leave.
Then there was a priest, who, when asked what happened, answered on duty: "Sinners, you need to pray." The last, where the Izhevsk resident turned, were experts on paranormal phenomena from Yekaterinburg. They arrived in Izhevsk and stayed alone overnight in the apartment.
And in the morning they said that the devices recorded increased electromagnetic activity. They also reported that video cameras filmed opening doors and a strange yellow spot running along the wall.

True, after that night the apartment became calm. The expert even said that sometimes spirits don't like to be examined and left on their own. But it turned out that the poltergeist moved in with Daria's sister, who took the expert from the station to the house and back. In the apartment of relatives, things also began to disappear and to be found in unexpected places, and strange sounds were heard in the kitchen; at night someone opened the curtains, an old icon disappeared from the sideboard - by the way, it has not been found until now. But this did not last long.
He left?
It is interesting that even when the family moved to the country in the summer, the restless spirit went with them to the countryside. There he "stole" the bed linen prepared on the bed, and also threw a rubber ball from under the chair at the hostess. After such events, Daria flatly refused to go to the dacha.

But after a while, everything stopped - in April it became calm in the apartment, and from July and in the country. Izhevsk women think that one method, which they found on the Internet, helped. Hit the walls of the room with a stun gun.
- We specially took it more powerful, even the wiring in one place was knocked out. But, apparently, it worked, - recalls Daria. - Three years we were tormented, an infection … Now the main thing is not to return. But it is somehow uneasy that this spirit can be free.
He came to teach them unity
According to the finalist of the 14th International Battle of Psychics Irina Bogdanova, there is no living or pseudo-living being called a poltergeist. This is usually called an unidentified phenomenon.
- As far as I can understand from hearsay, there was an ordinary little spirit in this family. The fact that he appeared a year later and moved from place to place suggests that he has nothing to do with the hanged man in this apartment. The ghost is tied to a place. This spirit is a clot of energy that can belong either to a daughter or to the entire female clan of this family, the so-called "larva". It may be someone's dissatisfaction, the elegy "I", which is concentrated in the apartment, - said Irina Bogdanova.
Moreover, the appearance of this spirit may be associated with a conflict between two women who live in the same apartment.
- The disappearance of the spirit may be due to the fact that relations in the family have improved. It is quite enough that the mother, daughter and sister of the mother united against the problem: together they were looking for specialists and solutions. The collective creativity of the women of this family helped to get rid of the spirit. So he most likely came to remove the conflict, and he removed it. He came to teach them unity, - summed up Irina Bogdanova.
In the afterword, I would like to note that we wrote the story of Daria from her words. We did not invent the facts, we did not conjecture them. We conveyed the events that happened to them over these three years. To believe or not to believe is a matter for each person personally. But after a personal meeting with the heroines and a visit, it became clear that they did not look like those who invented or imagined something for the sake of fame. Daria works in a laboratory as a food production technologist, and her daughter recently graduated from college and is looking for work. Izhevsk women live in an ordinary city apartment, where it is clean, comfortable and tidy. An ordinary Izhevsk family, calm and intelligent.
