A small village called Vilya has recently become of interest to fans of mysticism and the paranormal.
The reason for the outbreak of such interest was the terrible find of local residents who discovered a strange skeleton, "something between an animal and a person," as the locals wrote.
And although, later, experts came to a verdict that it was the skeleton of a fox, interest in the village did not subside, but grew even more.
The thing is that on the outskirts of Vili there is a small clearing, which the locals dislike, considering it cursed and even giving it the name "Witch's".
The shepherds say that often, returning to the evening with the cattle, they observed a crowd of dancing girls - ghosts on it.
The animals, which were driven through this clearing, soon began to get sick and, for unknown reasons, died. Eventually they began to avoid the clearing.
And those who decided to investigate the "bad place" noted that any equipment refuses to work on it: mobile communications and GPS are lost.
Despite the strange sounds that people hear, it has never been possible to record them.

There is also a belief associated with a small birch that grows in the meadow.
Residents say that once, a local hunter jumped out of the forest, driven by animal fear. And fell down dead.
Moreover, no damage was found on his body.
The wife of this man, in memory of her husband, planted a tree at the place of his death. Since then, there has been a belief that the one who even touches the birch will soon die.
Local legends also tell that even during the time of Ivan the Terrible, a military outpost was located on the site of this village, and the soldiers wounded in battles were treated by the sorcerers for whom the village was famous.
Once several soldiers attacked local girls, kidnapped them and mocked them for several days in the forest thicket, after which they killed and buried the corpses in this glade.
And now, the ghosts of the dancing witches are associated with that case, claiming that the unsettled souls of the murdered demand revenge.
Of course, you can believe in these strange legends, or you can only brush them off, but the fact remains: there are still cases when strangers who lost their way unexpectedly died right in the clearing under unexplained circumstances.
The journalists who came for the report more than once told about strange phenomena in the form of balls of plasma that appeared in front of the car.
And in general, no one has really managed to make a full-fledged reportage with photo and video shooting.
Everything that was filmed miraculously either disappeared or was so spoiled that it was impossible to broadcast it.
Once the daredevil - researcher Vasily Rasskazov decided to "conquer" the cursed place by setting up a tent and staying in it for the night.
The man survived, but woke up in the morning with a burn on his face. Moreover, the burn looked like a radioactive one.
