In 1969, in the Zhytomyr region, 42-year-old Dmitry A. was tried for murder, who took the lives of two people.
In general, it is quite an ordinary situation, if not for the strange circumstances of the case, due to which non-disclosure subscriptions were taken from all participants in the court. Indeed, in those stagnant times, there was no trace of "mysticism" in the Soviet Union.
One night Dmitry A. had a dream - as if he had died and was lying in a coffin. But at the same time he is aware of everything. He knows that he was an official of the city government during his lifetime, that he died of scarlet fever and has been buried in his grave for almost 70 years. The coffin has almost rotted, and the corpse has long turned into a skeleton.
The dream was repeated the next night. But this time the "dead man" was disturbed. Someone threw back the rotten lid of the coffin, and against the background of the night sky Dmitry saw the silhouettes of three people above him. In one of them, he recognized his neighbor from the first floor, a drunken drunkard nicknamed Butylkin. A metal instrument gleamed in Butylkin's hand. His comrade lit the skeleton's face with a lantern (if it could be called a face):
- And the crowns are definitely gold!
Butylkin's hand with a metal object reached for Dmitry, and he felt a wild pain - his jaw cracked, from which two gold crowns were pulled out with force. After that, the cemetery thieves hastily threw earth at the grave and left.
Waking up the next morning, Dmitry was surprised to see blood on the pillow. Two front teeth were missing in my mouth! Recalling a strange dream, the man immediately realized who was to blame and went home to Butylkin. He drank moonshine with two friends - the very ones who were in the cemetery.
Dmitry no longer had any doubts: it was they, the bums, who pulled out two completely healthy teeth at night!
Promotional video:
- Why did you pull out my teeth? - he growled, grabbed the collar of the landlord and at the same time showed his bleeding upper gum.
The drunkards, apparently, did not recognize Butylkin's neighbor as a guest. They decided that the robbed dead man himself crawled out of the grave and appeared for his property. Frightened to death, Butylkin ordered his comrade to give the deceased his crowns. He threw them right on the floor, at Dmitry's feet:
- Take it and go back to the grave!
At this time, the third drunk lost his nerves, and he launched a kitchen stool at the visitor. Dmitry was suddenly seized by an incomprehensible rage. He grabbed the same stool, swung, and broke Butylkin's skull. Then he hit his second friend on the head. Both fell off dead. The third, without waiting for the reprisal to overtake him, jumped out of the apartment through the window into the frost and rushed to the nearest police station.
Dmitry was arrested. He told the investigator the incredible story of his dream, which, to everyone's amazement, was fully confirmed by the surviving graveyard robber.
The prosecutor's office, just in case, ordered the opening of the grave of the official Golovlev, who died in 1901. Indeed, the skeleton's jaw was broken. And the physical evidence - the crowns - came just in time. But who, after all, pulled out Dmitry's teeth?
The case was transferred to the KGB. An experienced psychiatrist worked with Dmitry, who, apparently, had previously had to deal with similar cases. At the trial, the doctor was allowed to express his version. According to her, the soul of the late Golovlev was embodied in Dmitry A.
When the corpse was disturbed, something was disturbed in a routine manner, and Dmitry found himself in his previous incarnation. Perhaps our physical body is closer than we think it is connected with a psychic substance, hence the pulled out teeth, and the inexplicable fury that gripped the killer.
Although Dmitry A. was found sane, he was still not convicted of a crime and was placed in a psychiatric hospital. What happened to him next - God knows.
