Koldun Island (Magic Island) is a small and very mysterious island on Lovozero on the Kola Peninsula, where a number of mysterious phenomena take place.
On the Sorcerer, a Bigfoot was observed several times, a poltergeist is "registered" in one hut, other inexplicable events are observed. The island probably also contains an anomalous zone.
One of the eyewitnesses who encountered the unexplained on the island was the doctor V. Strukov, who after graduating from the academy in 1975 ended up serving in an air unit in Severomorsk. In the winter of 1976/77, he went fishing with friends and colleagues. This is how he describes the story that happened, which was published in the journal "Science and Religion", 1998, №8.
“I had to witness very strange, almost tragic events on Lovozero, on the sacred island of Sorcerer. It was necessary to sail about 40 kilometers to the island. We went on 4 boats, but one engine broke down immediately, and for some reason a specialist mechanic could not fix the breakdown. We replaced the motor with a new one, but after 5-10 kilometers another one breaks down.
I had to go back. They say - take a local Lapp and his motor with you. We take a very drunk Lapp and his ancient motor. Since I performed the duties of a doctor, I sat next to our guide and very often, at his request (when the engine began to stall), I poured him pure alcohol.
For this he told me the legend about this island and lake. According to him, the island serves as a haven for all local residents and saves them from starvation: huge pines grow there, a lot of mushrooms, berries and fish (there is even trout). You won't die of hunger and cold here - but you can't take anything with you from there …
We caught red fish there - trout, trout, whitefish, gathered mushrooms and berries and dined together. It was a pleasant, clear, warm evening. We got together on the way back. This is where it all started. A real hurricane has risen, you can't see anything. One motor stalled. They began to sink, the wave was already covering the board. We moved out of the stalled boat, the overload turned out - even worse.
I have already decided that no one will survive. And then our Lappier ordered to throw everything caught and collected overboard. We carried out the order, but the hurricane was getting stronger. We tried to scoop out the water with empty containers, but it was practically useless: the wave was too high. There was no point in paddling either - you couldn't see anything two meters away …

Here the Lapp says that not everything, they say, was thrown away - look. One colonel found in his pocket a pebble the size of a pigeon's egg, transparent, beautiful, even, he picked it up on the shore, put it in his pocket and forgot. Immediately this pebble was thrown overboard.
We all expected a miracle from this stone - and literally in 10-15 seconds everything calmed down, absolute calm set in, the sky shone, and we sat wet to the skin in half-flooded boats and were afraid to look each other in the eyes.
