There are many mysterious zones on Earth, where amazing phenomena and strange events are observed that do not lend themselves to a satisfactory scientific explanation. They enjoy unkind, even sinister fame among local residents. They are usually located in hard-to-reach places: among high mountains, impenetrable wilds and swamps, in the heart of the desert, etc.
But all these anomalous zones are united by a characteristic feature: they are located near the force nodes of the planet's energy field. These places include Heizhu (translated from Chinese - Black Bamboo Valley).
One way road
This mountain valley is located in Southwest China, in the Sichuan province. The Yin people, whose settlements are located nearby, have laid down many chilling stories about this place. Locals prefer to bypass the valley.
There are daredevils who take curious travelers to the Shimen Pass (which means "Stone Gate"), immediately behind which thickets of bamboo begin. But outside the gate - not a step, not for any promises. Because entering the Valley of the Black Bamboo is much easier than leaving it. Both people and animals disappear there without a trace.
For example, in 1949, when a civil war was going on in China, a small Kuomintang detachment, a small, about thirty people, who had fought off the main forces, wandered into this anomalous zone, fleeing the persecution of the communists. Nobody saw them again.
In the footsteps of this ill-fated detachment were three scouts of the Chinese People's Army. Only one of them came out of the valley, in a deranged state. Later, when they brought him to his senses a little, the fighter said that he somehow lagged behind his comrades, all the way he tried to catch up with them, but did not find a trace. What happened to him in this cursed place, he could not remember.

In 1950, about a hundred people went missing in the Black Bamboo Valley. In addition, for completely incomprehensible reasons, the plane crashed here, although no technical problems were identified and the crew did not report a distress.
In June 1955, a detachment of military surveyors was working near Heizhu. Two soldiers were sent to the city for provisions. Their path passed through the valley. They also disappeared without a trace. The military combed the entire area, but found only two rifles belonging to the missing soldiers.
In 1962, the Black Bamboo Valley swallowed up an entire exploration party. Only the guide returned to the people. He said that when the expedition entered the Stone Gate, he delayed a little and fell behind. And then suddenly a wall of thick fog stood in front of him, nothing was visible at arm's length.
This fog was very unusual: the conductor caught in it lost all sense of time; some strange sounds were heard, causing overwhelming fear. He froze and could not budge until the fog cleared. But the expedition failed as if through the earth. Neither geologists nor their belongings and equipment were found.
In March 1966, six military surveyors were lost at the entrance to the bamboo thickets. Some time later, a local hunter found one of the missing, barely alive; he was hardly brought to his senses. Having regained consciousness, the soldier could not explain what happened to him and his comrades.
In 1976, a group of foresters set off for the valley - people who had spent most of their lives in the forest and were able to perfectly navigate the terrain. Nevertheless, two of them disappeared without a trace. Those who managed to get out of the forest told, again, about the suddenly falling fog.
A thick veil covering them was accompanied by sounds unusual for human hearing. According to the hands on the clock, the fog lasted for about 20 minutes. By the feeling of one and all people, it dissipated after a few seconds.
When the count of the disappeared exceeded several hundred, any expedition to the Black Bamboo Valley began to be equated with a journey to another world. The road is one way. The most amazing thing is that the remains of the lost people and animals were not found. The valley consumed them irrevocably.
Three arrows of Niupi
And yet one of the legends tells of a hero who miraculously escaped from an enchanted place. One day Niupi went hunting in Heizhu with a group of his fellow tribesmen.
Quite quickly, their water supplies were depleted, and after three days some of the hunters began to fall into unconsciousness. Niupi, who was in the same disadvantageous position as his comrades, was visited by a fairy in a dream.
She told him, “Don't worry. Your courage will help you find water. When he woke up, he followed the path indicated to him by the fairy. However, he found only a huge stone. Surprised, he drew his long bow and shot three arrows at the stone. Suddenly, three streams of pure spring water miraculously gushed out of the stone.
Having quenched their thirst, the hunters returned home with rich prey.
Supernatural not found
In the end, the authorities became deeply concerned about such a massive disappearance of their citizens. In addition, the most fantastic hypotheses about the causes of all these incidents were born among the people. For example, there were rumors about a giant cannibal panda that had settled in the valley.
And in 1974, a farmer Ran Qianbu, who lives near Heizhu, allegedly spotted a two-meter-high ape-like creature with yellowish hair on its body. Is it really Bigfoot? Many have speculated that a mysterious fog is hiding extraterrestrial aliens whose purpose is to kidnap people.
To dispel all these mystical theories and calm the population, the Chinese Academy of Sciences sent several well-trained and equipped expeditions to the anomalous zone. And although the magic of the valley was powerless before science and none of the researchers disappeared into its wilds, the secrets of Heiju remained unsolved.
The most thorough study of the area was carried out in October 1997 by an expedition led by Yang Wyun. Nothing supernatural was found. Scientists attributed the events in the Black Bamboo Valley to a combination of natural factors. They found that the structure of the geological rocks of the territory is extremely diverse and complex.
Also, periodic emissions of poisonous gases were recorded, which are the product of the decomposition of some tree species. Scientists also noted the difficult climate of the area with dramatically changing natural conditions.
In addition, in his report on the results of the expedition, Yang Wion suggested that all the victims of deadly natural tricks are under the earth's surface, which sometimes opens up. He believes that the totality of the identified factors explains the mystery of Heizhu.
The explanations of scientists can hardly be considered convincing. Let's say visitors to the valley are victims of poisonous gases. But then where are their remains? With a gas attack, the whole of Heizhu would be strewn with the corpses of animals and birds that live here. Or have they developed immunity to toxic fumes over many generations?
Let us also assume that the bowels of the earth really open up and absorb unwary travelers. But then, along with them, sections of the forest would collapse, and bald spots would appear on the surface. But nothing of the kind is observed in the valley. It remains only to admit the intrigues of aliens.
Magnetic field barrier
But there is another hypothesis about the cause of the Black Bamboo Valley anomalies. Heizhu is the threshold of the Valley of the Pyramids, the very existence of which is hidden by both the Chinese authorities and the space agencies of the leading powers of the world. According to the official version, these structures are the tombs of the Chinese emperors.
However, ancient records say that the pyramids were erected more than 5 thousand years ago "by the sons of heaven, who roared down to Earth on iron dragons."
An unquestionable connection has been established between the Chinese pyramids and the Egyptian and Central American ones. Probably, these structures, built in time immemorial by a highly developed space civilization, were stations located on the power nodes of the Earth's energy field.
Perhaps there were special devices inside the pyramids that allowed communication not only between different points of our planet, but also with other worlds and dimensions.
In the Black Bamboo Valley, the strongest magnetic field was recently discovered. A similar field exists in another Chinese "valley of death" located in the Changbai Mountains of Jilin Province, where people also mysteriously disappear and planes crash. In this place, the compass needle begins to go crazy, and people fall into a strange state, losing their memory and orientation in space and time.
Isn't this mysterious barrier of the strongest magnetic field protection from outsiders so that they do not find their way to the Valley of the Pyramids? Maybe this place still belongs to another highly developed civilization, which is still in charge of earthly affairs?
It does not allow us to understand and decipher the complex energy network created millions of years ago, which, probably, is still operating on a cosmic scale. We are not yet ready for this both technically and, above all, morally.
