Several years ago, the Daily World News magazine published sensational stories of people who allegedly witnessed a real "demonstration" of immigrants from the other world.
According to them, it happened in Austria in a village cemetery near the city of Bruck an der Mur.
It was as if the dead had left their graves and in front of the frightened inhabitants marched in a column through the neighboring village. This ghastly procession, the sight of which made the hair stand on end, consisted mostly of yellowed skeletons, but there were also half-decayed corpses, exuding an incredible stench. Indifferent to everything around the "demonstrators", as if obeying someone, approached the lake and, as it seemed to eyewitnesses, dissolved in its water. Many saw a bright light in the sky that night, and some claimed that a meteorite had fallen into the lake. On the next tribute, people who came to the cemetery found that all the graves were empty.
- Researchers of the paranormal have an ambiguous attitude towards stories with the revived dead. But the appearance of ghosts not only in existing cemeteries, but also in places of ancient burials is considered a completely reliable fact. Moreover, in numerous stories about this, not only village graveyards appear.
Among the most famous is the Weserfield Cemetery in the US state of Connecticut. There were cases when ghosts appeared there during the daytime. One photographer sat in a cemetery for several days and finally photographed a ghost that appeared on the grave of a man who had died from a snakebite. However, later the picture was considered "unreliable". There were no new hunters to be on duty with a photo or movie camera in the “city of the dead”.
The appearance of the ghost was accidentally recorded in the London National Gallery. An advanced security alarm system was installed there. And almost immediately one of the nights it worked. The alarm was raised, but the thieves, no matter how they searched the museum, were not found. The guard, who was not wearing his face from fear, muttered something unintelligible to the rushing policemen: “Ghost! I saw him walk through the hall of the old Dutch masters and examine the paintings. And then he disappeared. Dissolved into thin air …”The gallery director ordered to check the video made by the security system TV camera. And what was his amazement when a dark silhouette of a man appeared on the screen, acting in exact accordance with the story of the guard. Experts who examined the film came to the conclusion that the most real ghost was captured on it.
Further investigation revealed that earlier the guards, who were walking around the museum premises at night, saw ghosts in the empty smell. The administration believed that the guards, due to the low light, mistook a bizarre play of shadows for ghosts. But some explained the appearance of immigrants from the other world in the National Gallery by the fact that the museum was built on the site where there was once an old cemetery and a large deep pit, into which, without a church funeral service, the bodies of the dead were dumped during a terrible plague epidemic in the middle of the 17th century.
In Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, ghosts make themselves felt in the old Greyfriars Church. This temple, associated with many different historical events, is visited by many tourists. They are especially interested in the ancient church cemetery, where many very popular historical films were filmed. It was the tourists who said that during excursions around the old cemetery, they heard loud indignant voices, saw ghostly figures and sometimes received quite painful shocks and blows from some unknown force.

In two years, the number of such testimonies and complaints exceeded fifty, and the tourist bureaus, with the consent of the church authorities, invited two expert mediums from the Scottish branch of the Society for the Research of the Paranormal to the cemetery. They found that the entire territory of the ancient cemetery is filled with pain and suffering. And in those places where tourists saw ghosts and felt physical impact in the form of jolts and blows, the devices recorded powerful energy emissions.
According to medieval chronicles, in the 17th century on the territory of the cemetery, at the Greyfriars Church, there was a prison, where in 1679 King Charles II threw more than a thousand of his opponents. Many were executed there and buried at the local churchyard. Lord Mackenzie, who passed death sentences, is buried next to his victims. The experts who conducted the survey are convinced that it is the spirit of the bloodthirsty lord who terrorizes tourists with energy shocks and blows.
"Caers" from the other world
"Caera" is short for "counterrevolutionaries". This was the name given to those who passed Article 58, that is, they were accused of counter-revolutionary activities and propaganda. But there was also such a unique case when the investigation of the 58th was conducted in relation to … ghosts.
In pre-war Moscow, large factories were often located in the vicinity of residential areas. Aviation plant number 24 in the Stalin district was located not far from the current metro station "Semyonovskaya". At the end of the thirties, the plant began to expand, and he was given the territory where the old cemetery was. They did not do any reburial of the remains, the graves were simply razed to the ground and a huge test shop was built there. A mysterious ghost story happened at that plant.
In the spring of 1941, a technician-toolmaker, an old party member Ivan Khrapov, was summoned to the party committee secretary. There, next to the party leader, sat a soldier with chekist buttonholes. The confidential conversation that took place surprised Khrapov a lot. According to the NKVD, someone is trying to disrupt the implementation of an important defense mission. Mysterious personalities disguised as ghosts appeared in the test shop. They intimidate the minders to such an extent that they refuse to go to work on the days when new engines are planned to be tested. The additional guards deployed around the workshop did not help: the "ghosts" somehow manage to get inside.
Since Khrapov at one time served in the "emergency service", he is entrusted with a secret mission. Under the guise of a trainee, he will be transferred to a test shop, where he must establish whether individuals posing as ghosts really appear there, or whether this was invented by minders, perhaps members of a counter-revolutionary group that planned to disrupt the production of new aircraft.
Khrapov took up the task entrusted to him. But new emergencies with ghosts in the test shop no longer occurred. Until, after the May Day holidays, a batch of new motors was submitted for testing.
On the very first night shift, the shop manager urgently called Khrapov to one of the stands. The minder on duty, pale as a sheet, said that as soon as he turned on the engine, a ghost suddenly appeared from somewhere and began to choke him. Khrapov searched the entire shop. Nobody. And the ghost didn’t appear anymore, although the motors were running at all the stands.
In the future, such accidents were repeated at least once every two weeks, and only at stands with new motors. But when Khrapov ran there, there were no more envoys from the other world. In the end, he agreed with the head of the shop to test the ill-fated motors on only one stand for several shifts in a row, and began to be on duty around him around the clock. And on the third night Khrapov sat lost in thought. Suddenly, the terrible roar of the engine running nearby suddenly ceased. Ivan Sergeevich turned to the minder who was at the dashboard and could not believe his eyes: between him and the panel was clearly visible a translucent human figure, which the minder was trying to push away from him. Ivan Sergeevich jumped up - but the ghost immediately melted into the air …
Khrapov told the Chekist about what he saw. He was clearly puzzled. He promised that appropriate specialists would be involved in the investigation. However, the war that broke out soon interfered. Factory No. 24 was evacuated to Kuibyshev, where ghosts no longer appeared.
This story was told to me by Ivan Sergeevich Khrapov himself. But in one of the closed educational institutions of the NKVD, immigrants from the other world took into circulation … the Chekists themselves!
Revenge of the inhabitants of the "City of the Dead"
Halfway from Leningrad to Peterhof is the Trinity-Sergius Monastery, founded in 1732. For almost two centuries, noble persons and monks were buried in his cemetery. After the revolution, the monastery was closed, and in the thirties a school for training shooters of paramilitary guards moved into its spacious buildings. The new owners began with the destruction of the "legacy of the times of autocracy and obscurantism." The head of the school, Comrade Feldman, showed particular zeal when he smashed rich gravestones in the monastery cemetery with his own hand.
And a week after that, strange things began to happen. At night, in the echoing corridors, someone's shuffling steps were heard, indistinct muttering and plaintive groans were heard. Daykeepers noticed vague shadows in the office space and smelled a distinct smell of decay.
After a while, everyone noticed how the head of the school had changed beyond recognition. Feldman stopped conducting weekly political information, grew haggard, aged, irritable and fearful. At night he locked himself in his office, where, according to rumors, he drank vodka. Sometimes deaf voices could be heard from behind the door, but with whom the boss could talk, no one knew. And in March 1940, a pistol shot rang out in Feldman's office. There was some kind of nonsense in the note left by him: they say, he is dying, because he can no longer endure the persecution of the two white elders. The commission sent to investigate the emergency, of course, did not believe in ghosts, but came to the conclusion that the Chekist simply drank himself to hell.
After the war, a police school was housed in the monastery, and a parade ground for drill training was set up on the site of the cemetery. And the ghosts again made themselves felt: at night ghostly figures wandered in the corridors, groans and curses were heard.
In the early nineties, girls began to be admitted to the police school.
Like the young cadets, they were in a barracks position. And then one night a wild screeching was heard in the women's building. The duty officer quickly found out the reason. It turned out that someone secretly entered the barracks and climbed into the bunk of one of the cadets. The head of the school was immediately notified of the emergency.
- Do you remember that bastard? Can you identify? - Asked the angry chief of the frightened, sworn girl.
- Yes, he is not a cadet at all. Some old man. Pale, smelly and cold as ice!
The investigation of this case from the standpoint of materialism did not give any results, and local old-timers whispered about the revenge of those who were buried in the former cemetery.
What's behind the revenge of the dead
From time immemorial in Russia there was a tradition to bury away from housing and respectfully treat places of eternal rest. Our ancestors knew that the ruin of a churchyard could bring disaster. That is, even in the old days, people were convinced that our material world and that light are connected with each other. But if there is a factual connection between the two worlds, then there must be a mechanism for its implementation. The latest scientific research confirms this and also reveals the essence of this interaction. And the point here is not at all about the revenge of the dead.
Many scientists, including psychologists, biologists and physicists, believe that a person, as a person, consists of a physical body and soul, or, as they say now, an energy-informational entity. Studies using supersensitive devices have now established that after a person's death, the soul leaves the body not immediately, but in stages, over a period of time. This, in particular, was confirmed by experiments using the Kirlian effect, staged by the St. Petersburg physicist K. Korotkov. And British researchers, who placed special receivers on the graves, recorded energy surges on the ninth and fortieth days after the death of a person.
Scientists believe that with the first burst, the energy-informational essence leaves the physical body, and with the second it flies away from it into the subtle world. But even after that, it retains an informational connection with the flesh remaining in the grave, that is, the human skeleton. Thanks to this connection, loved ones who come to the graves of the dead can come into contact with their souls in order to receive support in critical life situations.
At the same time, it is the connection of the soul with the ashes of its former biological carrier that remained in the ground that leads to a kind of materialization of the energetic essence in the form of a ghost. Most often this happens when the eternal rest of the remains is disturbed. And the catalysts or subjects that send a challenge to the subtle world are the souls of those who prematurely passed away as a result of an accident or a violent death. They cannot go to the afterlife and are forced to stay on Earth next to the living, before whom they often appear in the form of ghosts. But in general, science is still only approaching the unraveling of the mysteries of the "city of the dead."
