On the island of Borneo, there is a road along which thousands of prisoners of war passed during the Second World War. It is called the Death Road. Recently, retired Major John Talloch, who studied those historical events, took a photograph in which you can see transparent silhouettes that look like people walking. True, the author himself does not believe in ghosts too much.
On this road, winding through the jungle, the Japanese drove the British and Australians captured by them for a month. They treated the prisoners very cruelly: they practically did not feed them, beat them and forced them to go barefoot. Many died of hunger and beatings on the way, while the rest were beaten with bayonets by the guards so that they would not be freed by American soldiers. Only six captured soldiers managed to escape and thanks to this they survived.
This is considered the worst atrocity of the Japanese military during the Second World War. On the island of Borneo, there is a road along which thousands of prisoners of war passed during the Second World War. It is called the Death Road.
John Talloch specially arrived in Borneo to take pictures of Death Road. Subsequently, looking at the photographs, in one of them he saw silhouettes resembling walking skeletons or people who are in an extreme degree of exhaustion.
Talloch is a born realist, far from any mysticism, so he first tried to find some materialistic explanation for the anomaly in the picture. In the end, he decided that the phenomenon was nothing more than the reflection of a white towel that was lying on the dashboard while he was taking photographs. However, when the author showed the photo to other people, they called it "strange" and "frightening", and also argued that the "reflections" very much resemble human figures.
Ghosts are found on other military roads as well. For example, on the border of Buryatia with the Irkutsk region, there is the Khamar-Daban ridge, through which the trail leads to the city of Baikalsk. It is notorious among local residents - it is called the path of death, or the path of Genghis Khan.
During the civil war, in January 1920, the remnants of the defeated corps of General Vladimir Kappel retreated along this path. Many of them died in the mountains from hunger and frostbite. Nobody picked up the bodies of the dead. Tourists staying here often see shadows near the tents. They say these are the ghosts of the dead and unburied Kappel soldiers. Sometimes people find military weapons and orders in the vicinity of the trail. But those who pick them up and take them with them begin to pursue various misfortunes.
Note that recently the term "military anomaly" has appeared in the lexicon of researchers. Such anomalies often appear in areas of massive battles. One of the most famous anomalous zones associated with the Great Patriotic War is the forest swampy valley Myasnoy Bor 30 kilometers from Veliky Novgorod. No one remembers where this name came from - it appeared even before the revolution.

But it turned out to be symbolic: during the Luban operation in 1942, many soldiers of the Soviet Second Shock Army, units of the German Wehrmacht, the Spanish "Blue Division" and other troops died here in bloody battles. In total, about 300 thousand Russian soldiers were killed in the Novgorod region. This was dozens of times higher than the number of enemy losses. In these places, there are many unburied remains, which are being searched for by the joint detachment "Dolina", which includes volunteers from different Russian cities and even from abroad.
Search engines say that birds do not settle in places of mass accumulations of remains, all living things avoid them. But that is not all! At night in Myasnoy Bor, strange voices, as if from another world, are heard, and at dusk in the forest you can meet soldiers in Red Army uniforms, who allegedly more than once told the diggers where to look for unburied bodies.
The Moscow region has its own "Road of Death" - this is the unofficial name of the section of the Lyubertsy-Lytkarino highway at the entrance from Ryazan in the area of the village of Pekhorka near Moscow. Smooth asphalt highway is laid along the coniferous forest. Until recently, car accidents happened here every now and then.
There are also rumors of ghosts suddenly appearing in front of the car's windshield. Some believe that these are the ghosts of those who died on the highway, others - that these are the souls of the dead, buried in an ancient cemetery, lying under the asphalt at great depths.
Another version says that during the era of Stalinist terror, prisoners worked at local quarries. Due to difficult working conditions, many of them died, and the corpses were buried in a forest quarry next to the road. Now, silhouettes of small stature in hoods, similar to gnomes, sometimes come out of the forest. They say that "running into" such a "gnome" is considered a very bad omen: soon someone close to him will die.
