Mysterious, abnormal in our life
Black Rangers
Archaeological excavations often overlap with the sphere of the mysterious, enigmatic, otherworldly … Especially when it comes to excavating burials.
• 1988 - three seekers of war trophies examined one burial place of local residents who were shot by the Nazis. It was on a deserted road. Suddenly a human figure appeared in the distance. The man was dressed in a suit, but for some reason his face was not visible - a shapeless black spot. The man moved towards the search engines. When he was 15 meters away from them, they called him. But, instead of responding or coming closer, the stranger, as if on a rubbed parquet, smoothly began to slide towards the forest belt. Of course, no traces of the ghost were found there …
• Near Lyuban, among the marshes, there are the ruins of the Makaryevsky monastery, destroyed during the war. The "Black Rangers" repeatedly visited here, but each time they were in wait for something incomprehensible and eerie …
1997 - a group of six people went here. On the way to the ruins, they noticed a bonfire from a distance. What was their amazement and horror when it turned out that the fire … was hanging right in the air! As soon as he got closer, he disappeared …
Throughout the night, the "trackers" who had set up camp in the ruins were prevented from sleeping by wild human screams from the forest. None of the guys dared to rush to the rescue …
In the morning, one of the search engines went out of necessity - and got lost. He returned to the camp only three hours later. His clothes were dirty, his eyes were mad … He did not answer the questions of his comrades …
Promotional video:
And more … Whatever the weather, for some reason, during the excavation of burials by the "black rangers", clouds are constantly gathering and it is pouring rain. As if nature itself is rebelling against blasphemy …
There are many horror stories associated with wartime burials visited by "black diggers" …
• In the Pskov region. three search engines "worked" at dusk in an abandoned German cemetery. Suddenly, not far on the river bank, they saw some strange creature - a half-bear, half-caban, covered with black wool. The beast, in front of the frightened people, went behind a bush and disappeared without a trace …
• 1985 - "Pathfinders" excavated a burial at a German cemetery in the village of Mikhailovskaya. And in the middle of the night, a UFO hovered over the village, from which there was a bright beam. All the dogs in the village barked in alarm, and power outages began in the houses. After 15 minutes, the beam went out and the object flew away …
• In the late 1980s in the Novgorod region. on the outskirts of the village, behind which there was a German cemetery, the searchers saw a white shapeless silhouette about three meters high separate from the corner of an abandoned hut. He swam somewhere to the side, changing outlines as he walked: becoming now a cow, now a horse, now a man of enormous height … The ghost crossed the field and disappeared into the forest …
• Several years ago, under strange circumstances, Sergei Tsvetkov, head of the Moscow organization "Ekipazh", died at home. Together with his assistants, he combed the places of frontline battles in search of old military equipment … Is his death accidental? Perhaps it is better not to disturb the peace of the dead in fact?
It is possible that the occurrence of some anomalies may be associated with the activities of people, that is, for example, magical conspiracies imposed on treasures, when attempting to manipulate the treasures, can somehow change the parameters of the environment and lead people to "confusion" … The burial sites probably also emit some kind of special radiation.
Disappeared village
All residents of a settlement or village (as a rule, we are talking about small settlements) suddenly disappear to no one knows where. Moreover, everything looks as if people just left for a while …
Tourists-poachers, having lost their way in the remote Mezensky district of the Arkhangelsk region, came across an abandoned village. It turned out to be completely empty. But it didn’t seem like people left these lands long ago. In one courtyard pine firewood was stacked and an ax stuck in a log … In another, entering the hut, the travelers found a shirt with a needle and thread stuck in it … In the third hut, there were plates with the remains of evaporated borsch on the table … And in the neighboring courtyard, the guests stumbled upon the newspaper Pravda dated July 11, 1978!
But most of all the tourists were surprised by the fact that all living things seemed to be completely extinct in the village! Not like dogs and cats - even spiders and mosquitoes were not visible! And this is in the month of June! Here the poachers were seized with a chilling horror, they felt that they could no longer stay here, and immediately left the "enchanted" place …
The most interesting thing is that no one has heard of the abandoned forest village from the local residents. Although the tourists had a chance to talk only with relatively young people, the village, apparently, was abandoned several decades ago. No traces of it were found on the maps.
But our heroes were told a lot of interesting things about the local wonders. It turns out that for the third year in a row something amiss is happening with the fishermen who hunt on the Mezen Lakes. Several people returned from fishing in some strange state, as if they were drunk, and after a couple of days they died … At first, alcohol was blamed for everything, which, as you know, is actively consumed by fishing enthusiasts. Then they began to talk about the poisonous swamp gas … And the old-timers assured that under the Soviets there was a secret military facility in the Mezen district. And it happened that in those parts of the summer all the midges suddenly disappeared or became lethargic in the autumn.
What kind of work was carried out at the facility, no one knew. But it is possible that they were associated with radiation or microwave radiation. When investigating abandoned settlements, an increased radiation or electromagnetic background was almost always observed. High-frequency vibrations are not perceived by the human ear, but they are able to scare off some small insects, for example, mosquitoes. But they also affect people, while the features of such an impact have not yet been fully studied.
Black Devil's cave
The Kashkulak cave, located in the spurs of the Kuznetsk Alatau, is called the Black Devil's Cave. It was he, as the legends say, who was worshiped in these places by the ancient Khakass. They immediately made sacrifices to their deity, including human ones.
Those who had been there spoke of the strange sensations that haunted them - nervousness, depression, turning into panic fear. This was often accompanied by visual hallucinations, while every single visitor to the cave saw in front of them the ghost of an old man in a shaggy hat with horns, similar to a Khakass shaman.
1985 - a group of speleologists headed by K. Bakulin, an employee of the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, conducted comprehensive research here. Once, an eerie incident happened to Bakulin. Preparing to climb up, he suddenly felt someone's heavy eyes on him. Turning around, five meters away from him, he saw a black shaman with glowing eyes, who gestured to him, retreating deeper and deeper into the cave. As if under hypnosis, Bakulin moved towards him … But then the obsession subsided, and he began desperately pulling the rope. What would have happened if he had followed the ghost - it's hard to imagine …
Inside the Kashkulak cave, strong fluctuations in the magnetic field were recorded, which is typical for anomalous places. In addition, it has been hypothesized that cave air has unusual properties that cause hallucinations. Finally, there is a theory that the special geophysical structure of the cave contributes to the manifestation of images of the distant past in it - that is, its walls have a "memory".
Inaccessible mounds
This is what N. B. Moiseev, an employee of the Tambov Regional Museum of Local Lore, a researcher …
- We dig, as a rule, near the mounds. Mounds are related to the Bronze Age (II millennium BC), when they continued to build pyramids in Egypt …
In the Neolithic, sedentary peoples (the Oka variant) were located along the Tsna River, and southern tribes roamed south along the Vorone River … Burial mounds can be found only in the steppe zone. Kurgan is a mound over the burial of a nomad. A nomad as such has no homeland. His homeland is where his ancestors are buried. And the tribes that settled in the forests along the Chelnova River did not build mounds, because they were sedentary and always knew where the graves of their forefathers were …
Later settlements of the Iron Age appeared in high places in the forest zone. One of them is located just above the Holy Spring. Such settlements were fenced off with a moat and rampart. Their inhabitants were called the suburb, Gorodets culture. And in the steppes nomads ruled: Scythians, Sarmatians … I have a collection of many swords and other finds belonging to that period.
Until 1989, I did not believe in anything beyond. And then this is what happened …
In the Zherdevsky district, the Pichaevsky mound was not excavated - almost on the very border with the Voronezh region. I arrived the day before the expedition - alone, on exploration to find a place for the camp … I decided to spend the night without a tent. Taking a sleeping bag, he settled down right at the very top of the mound. I fell asleep, and suddenly in the middle of the night - a powerful push from the ground! I was terrified, just my hair on end … Then I calmed down. This has never happened to me before …
Before that, we came across ordinary mounds of soldiers. There, during excavations, it is possible to find only an arrowhead … This earthquake was like a sign. A chariot warrior was buried under the embankment. That is, even if not the leader himself, he is still an unusual, special, chosen person …
1997 - excavations of a mound near the village of Selezny were carried out. For the first two days, there was nothing unusual until they reached the edge of the clay, where they found a bone ritual mace. The day was not cloudy at all. Partly cloudy, good weather … Suddenly a huge cloud came over us. We look - the sun is in the sky, a rainbow is on the right, and pouring rain is pouring down on our mound like a bucket! The whole pit was flooded with water …
I had to wait two days until everything dries up. It dried up, climbed - rain again, after hooked and pulled the amulet from the bear's fang … Three times they approached until the whole burial was examined. Most likely, there was a sorcerer … In those days, leaders were chosen not only for their organizational and personal qualities. They were people with secret knowledge …
What could the ancient people ask for from otherworldly forces, whose lifestyle was very dependent on natural and weather conditions? Either send them rain, or stop it … At the same time, the selection of people with magical abilities was very strict. The leader of the tribe, who failed to cause or stop the rain, could, at best, be expelled from the tribe, and at worst - killed … Since ancient times, in order to protect his family, this knowledge was inherited … In the same mound, a bird's wing was found, a very unusual subject for this type of burial. Perhaps he was related to the magical actions of the deceased …
Apparently, the deceased sorcerer did not want his grave to be disturbed after death. And he did some kind of protective ritual. That is why we could not get so long to the ancient grave …
When Expeditions Don't Return
Every year tourists and researchers set out to storm hard-to-reach and little-studied places on the map of Russia. But not all of them come back.
• 1953, summer - the connection with L. Leontiev's expedition, conducting research in Tuva, was suddenly cut off. In the parking lot, rescuers found a fireplace with still embers, tents and equipment. No people, no horses … True, the prints of horse hooves were visible on the ground, which led from the forest towards the camp … And nothing more! Long searches yielded nothing …
• Journalist E. Yakimov, having been on an expedition through the Ural taiga in May 1973, encountered something inexplicable … One member of the expedition fired a shotgun at a capercaillie - and at that moment satellites following each other at a distance began to scatter in different sides. It turned out that all the compass arrows showed a different direction. And for some reason people went in this direction, and not after the presenter, as if they had lost their minds … The arrows really rotated chaotically and went off scale. Only an hour later, they "calmed down" and the group moved on.
On the approach to the designated place, everyone began to feel inexplicable fear, mental stress. When the expedition reached the plateau, Yakimov began to light a fire, leaned his elbows on the ground and felt that something was pulsing under the surface of the soil, as if a heart was beating. At night the moon rose and the plateau was shrouded in a strange yellow fog … Fortunately, nothing bad happened with this expedition …
