People have disappeared in all ages, most often without a trace, sometimes in front of numerous witnesses. Much less often, a person opens the gift of spatial teleportation, which he could control at will.
For example, Zhang Baosheng, of Chinese descent, often demonstrated unique teleportation abilities, and was also able to dematerialize small objects that then appeared elsewhere. Experiments to study this phenomenon were carried out in 1982-1983, under the most stringent conditions. The specialists stocked up with all kinds of the latest equipment of the time, chemical markers and X-ray technology.
But the fact remained: In an unthinkable way, Zhang knew how to get objects out of closed containers and transfer them to others. Moreover, sometimes the “seized” items were absent for an hour, it is not clear where, after which they reappeared either in the same place or somewhere else. Once a mini-radio receiver disappeared in this way, and when it reappeared, it turned out that its batteries were completely discharged.
An extraordinary ability for controlled teleportation was possessed by a black prisoner from the United States, Hadad, who was serving his sentence at Fort Leavenworth prison, which is distinguished by the severity of the regime. The administration of the institution was unpleasantly surprised to discover that the prisoner had an unpleasant property to spontaneously disappear from a locked cell, and then, after a while, appear at the prison gate.
In addition to teleportation, Hadad also possessed some paranormal abilities: in particular, he could, of his own free will, suspend all vital functions of the body, while falling into a state of lethargy. According to Hadad, he received his mysterious abilities as a result of the passage of some dark rite.
There are places on our planet that are popularly called "perished" precisely because a large number of people, and animals, too, disappear there.

At the confluence of the Kova River into the Angara, there is a similar place called the Devil's Cemetery, which appeared at the beginning of the last century after the fall of the Tunguska meteorite. Then the locals were forced to bypass this place by another path due to the fact that there were massive cattle deaths. But "Devil's Cemetery" didn't get its name for nothing. Researchers trying to find out the secret of this area paid a very high price for their daring - the total number of deaths in the area was about seventy people.
But in the 90s of the last century, scientists still managed to find this clearing. However, when approaching the anomalous place, the devices began to behave strangely, and the members of the expedition noted a deterioration in their general condition, and communication with the second group was interrupted. They decided to postpone the study until the morning, but the next morning people began to show strange symptoms: body numbness, swelling of the joints, blurred vision, etc. Therefore, the expedition thought it best to go back. Many mysteries are also associated with reservoirs, sometimes demonstrating rather strange properties.
There is a mysterious Segozero in Karelia, with the oddities of which the locals have faced for many generations. So, according to eyewitnesses, there is a "lip" on Segozero - a special area that does not fit into the basin of the lake. And in October 1928, all the water from this area abruptly left, exposing the bottom full of fish. However, soon five - six-meter waves poured into the "lip", and the water turned out to be so warm that the children even bathed in it.
It is quite possible that there are karst voids under the lake, which can "pull" the water deeper as a result of some underground phenomena. However, how can one explain the moment that such cases on Segozero are not isolated, and are repeated more and more often. A similar incident took place in another part of this "cursed place", at the source of the Segezha River. In a matter of minutes, the water left the lake, leaving people with boats at the bottom, and then immediately gushed back. No one managed to escape. Such anomalies led to the fact that all people who lived here left these places.
The ancient anomalous zone (Shushmor tract), where people constantly disappeared, is located in the Vladimir region. The first documentary information about the mysterious disappearances of people began to come from 1885, during work on the Kolomensky tract. First, one peasant disappeared. Then the second (along with a horse and a cart). Then a whole train vanished. The police searches did not reveal absolutely nothing, since many of the missing had no money with them, and therefore murder for profit was unlikely. However, people in that place continued to disappear.
Over time, Shushmor was forgotten, as more convenient and modern roads appeared, but in 1957 he had to be remembered after a group of enthusiastic tourists disappeared here, who decided to explore a strange tract.
When they began to investigate this case, it turned out that over the years several local residents had gone missing in the Shushmora forest, and many of them knew all the roads and paths in the forest very well. An expedition that explored this area in 2002 found out that Shushmore is a kind of anomalous zone. Not far from the tract there is an abandoned village, where thunderstorms most often occur in summer. And next to this village there is a ravine, which the locals bypass. But those who decided to go down there say that all the plants there have distorted, strange shapes, and for some reason birches have square trunks.
According to Viktor Kazakov, a local ethnographer, the original name of the tract is "Ushmor", since people who worshiped the serpent god used to live here, and maybe it was not without reason that the inhabitants who lived earlier preferred this very creature? It is likely that the representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations who had previously been in contact with earthlings were most like snakes. And areas of anomalies are residual phenomena from alien energy alien to our Earth.
Prodigal places
"Prodigal places" are popularly called anomalous zones where anything can happen. First of all - a complete loss of spatial orientation.
For a long time, people who lived close to forests noticed the strange features of certain parts of the forest, where even those who knew the forest "like the back of their hand" managed to get lost. And not just to lose the road, but to walk in circles on the "damned" site, not being able to get out of there. Such places are called "prodigal", from the word "fornicate" ie look for.
The locals, wise by experience, in such cases said that it was a "goblin drives" and advised to put on clothes turned inside out to ward off evil spirits.
However, few people now refer to the intrigues of evil spirits, but people still have not ceased to get lost, even with such modern devices as a compass or a GPS navigator in stock.
Prodigal places can completely disorient a person in space, and sometimes time intervals are also affected.
For example, in the Kirov region (Sovetsky district), near the Nemda river, there is a small forest area, in which people are regularly lost. One of the eyewitnesses, familiar with these from childhood here and there, with his colleagues got into a similar situation. According to his stories, having visited a cave located in this forest, they came out on a familiar road, but after walking some distance the man realized that the road led to an unfamiliar place next to some field.
The second, third, fourth attempts led to the same results - people constantly returned to this field. In the end - after all, the travelers somehow managed to find a familiar area, however … 15 km further from the part of the forest where they entered it! Moreover, it seemed to the people wandering through the forest that two hours had passed, in fact, their forced walk lasted about four hours.
Six months later, in the same place, a mushroom picker was lost in a similar way, who also left at a distance of 20 km from the original point. After asking local residents, curious tourists learned that such incidents in this forest are not an accident, but rather a pattern. It is possible that the energy of the place itself plays a role here, because it is located next to the pagan sanctuary Chumbylat. And the inhabitants of the surrounding areas are sure that this is precisely the tricks of a pagan deity, the protection from the enchantment of which, again, lies in the old method: to turn clothes inside out.
One of the described prodigal places of the Moscow region is located between Dmitrov and Klin, in the area of the village of Rogachevo, and the mushroom picker who got there with great difficulty found his way to his car, although before that he often entered the desired coordinates on his GPS.
According to a participant in this story, at the next turn of the "damned place" he already felt uneasy, because the readings of the device were constantly getting lost, the battery was quickly running out, and he could not go beyond the vicious circle. With great difficulty, the man got out on the right road, but it remained a mystery to him, what was it? A little strange in his opinion was that when he first entered the forest, he found an old cemetery there, and it was the coordinates of the cemetery that were displayed on his GPS as a set point of reference upon arrival home.
But it is not only in the wilds that people can get lost. In the Kuibyshev region (now Samara), between the villages of Vasilyevka and Aleksandrovka, there was a small rounded grove. However, the villagers gave it a strange name "drunken grove", due to the fact that several times frozen people were found here, who returned home from guests on sledges. All this looked rather strange, because from a hill the grove could be seen at a glance, and there were only fields and a small forest plantation nearby. The grove itself could be walked around in an hour.
There are a number of similar anomalous places in the Pskov region. So, near the Udokhi River there is a village called Dubrovno, with the preserved ruins of an ancient settlement. This is a very ancient settlement, mentioned in the annals for 1137. In the vicinity of this place, strange cases often happen, for example, in the 40s of the last century, two children got lost in the forest and went to pick mushrooms. There was also a dog with the children. Only on the second day the boys were able to get out of the forest. According to them, they fell asleep under one of the oak trees in the forest, and woke up in a deep pine forest, from where they had to find their way home.
The Plyussky district of Pskov is famous for another paranormal place with the corresponding name "Devil's ravine". Overgrown with ferns, with fallen trees, this ravine keeps many secrets. And not one person was lost in its depths. Even in the pre-revolutionary years, several peasants disappeared without a trace, and in 1928 seven lumberjacks disappeared, who were never found. In 1974, seven mushroom pickers disappeared in the ravine again. True, two were found a week later, but they were in a state of insanity, and could not tell anything about the fate of the other comrades.
The well-known TV presenter, who got lost here, walked in circles for ten days on the "devil's ravine", eating only collected mushrooms, and lost count of the days. Already half-dead, he was accidentally found in the bush by one of the local residents.
The mystery of prodigal places has not yet been solved, who believe that circular walking is associated with an unequal step length of the right and left legs, as a result of which a person constantly "takes" to the right or to the left. However, how can one explain the fact that experienced mushroom pickers who have lived in these places for more than a dozen years are also lost?
At the moment, scientists have put forward the assumption that there are special structures in the human cerebral cortex that are capable of capturing a magnetic field. It is likely that small deposits of iron ores stored underground are capable of causing "demagnetization" of these structures, as a result of which the above-described walking in a circle begins.
By the way, studies of prodigal places have shown that in some of them clocks stop spontaneously and deteriorate devices, so people going into the forest should take care to take a map of the area with them, and just in case take a small supply of water, food and a box of matches.
