For a whole year, Gorkom36 has been collecting and publishing myths and legends of Voronezh. Now we have decided to place them geographically. Today we recall the mystical stories of the Levoberezhny District.
TAVROVSKY GHOST AND OTHER UNcleanness
It could well have happened that we would not live in the Voronezh province, but in the Tavrovsky province. The city of Tavrov, and now the small village of Tavrovo, which is part of the Maslovsky microdistrict and is part of Voronezh, could once compete with Voronezh in terms of its importance for the Russian state.
But in the city founded by Peter the Great, a terrible fire broke out, almost completely destroying it, after which almost all of its inhabitants moved to Voronezh. Perhaps that is why Tavrovo still keeps many secrets and legends in itself.

Almost every resident of the village will tell you about the Tavrovsky ghost, and many have met him personally.
On a stone near the Voronezh River, people often observe a translucent silhouette of a man. Adults see him only from the water, while riding a boat, but small children under 5 years old are much more likely to see a ghost.
Promotional video:
- Mom, there is an uncle, - the child points with a finger towards the stone, but the mother shrugs in bewilderment - there is no one on the stone.
It is also noteworthy that all Tavrovskie dogs, running by, raise heart-rending barking near the stone.

A mysterious creature also lived in the pine forest that grows outside the village. Locals say that this is a goblin. Before the 2010 fire, some were lucky enough to even see him. Tavrovsky the goblin is described as a tall and hunchbacked, more than two meters tall man, thickly covered with wool and with an ugly face. When the forest was burning, many heard from the fire terrible inhuman cries, begging for help.

Until the beginning of the 90s, a witch lived in Tavrovo. How old she was - it is not known, they said that more than a hundred. She lived on the edge of the village, and all the inhabitants were afraid of her. Gypsies often visited the witch, after which some misfortune must have happened in Tavrovo - either the person dies, or the cow falls.
When the witch died, her house with all her belongings was burned down. The site is still empty - there are no people willing to buy the witch's property. As soon as people come to see the land and the remaining ruins of the house, they feel unwell and sad, and they rush to leave the witch's den.
UFO WITH MASHMET
The whole world knows that Voronezh is a city in which aliens are interested with enviable stubbornness. The last time mysterious objects visited Voronezh quite recently - at the end of May 2017, when two ufological objects hung over the street. 20th anniversary of October. The event, I must say, is quite ordinary for Voronezh. After the visit of aliens to Mashmet in 1989, you will not surprise us with any ufology there.
Let's remember how it was. On the evening of September 27, 1989, children were playing in South Park on Mendeleev Street, and about 20 adults were waiting for a bus at the bus stop. At the same time, everyone - both children and adults - saw a pink light in the sky, from which a dark red ball appeared, which hovered over the park at a height of 15 meters, circled above the ground and flew away.
A few minutes later, another UFO appeared, hovered over the poplars, and when the hatch opened in it, people saw a giant creature in a silver jumpsuit. He did not have a real head, but only a hump with three eyes between his shoulders.
As some eyewitnesses said, when they saw the shiny overalls that were fashionable in those years, they were initially mistaken for guests from some capital country. However, noticing the three-meter height of one of the creatures, everyone was convinced of the alien origin of the balloon's passengers. Skeptically inspecting the park, the three-meter alien slammed the hatch, after which the ship began to sink even lower.
After the final landing, the hatch doors opened again, and a third alien appeared, resembling a robot. The second alien, who looks like Igor Sarukhanov with his gait and hairdo, looked at the children and said something inarticulate. One of the young footballers began to scream mercilessly in fear. All three aliens walked towards the child, and then the crowd screamed. The aliens were embarrassed, stomped on the spot and ran back to the ship. A few seconds later, the ship took to the sky and disappeared.
