"Battle of Psychics" and other programs about magicians and sorcerers have long occupied television, zombifying the audience. However, most of us are in no hurry to believe in the existence of the other world and the ghosts walking next to us. Until he personally encounters something inexplicable and eerie.
A ghostly colleague on the radio
The telephone number of the editorial office of the newspaper "Number One" constantly receives calls about the most incredible stories, including the other world. However, it is unlikely that we would have ever touched on this topic if our colleagues, journalists, had not witnessed unreal events. Even notorious skeptics suddenly admitted that they too had witnessed incomprehensible events.
For example, an employee of Radio Buryatia told that one night, being late at work, she ran into Her …
- Somehow I worked in the House of Radio (on the Soviet Square. - Approx. Auth.) Until late at night. And suddenly she heard someone's steps. Of course, I thought it was probably a security guard.
But when the girl opened the door, the hallway was empty. After a while, the distinct thumping of steps was repeated right behind me. Numb with horror, the journalist closed her eyes. A few minutes later, a bullet flew out into the street.
Only in the morning, colleagues calmly told the frightened girl that that night she met their own "radio" ghost. For many years it frightened journalists, until they simply … got used to it. Moreover, the anomalous phenomenon did not do any harm to anyone.
Promotional video:
“It is said that sometimes an entity appears in the form of a woman. Sometimes it's something invisible. But what struck me most was that the old-timers perceive this phenomenon as something commonplace. Perceiving paranormal events in the studio as part of their interior, or what …
Officially, the staff of the radio does not tell anyone about their unusual neighbor. After all, such mysticism does not fit into the image of a serious regional radio station.
Security guard is not a profession for the faint of heart
It turns out that there are old familiar ghosts in other serious organizations as well. Another colleague, a sports journalist from one of the popular publications, told us about a similar experience of communicating with ghosts. Seven years ago, he decided to work as a security guard at the Center for Oriental Medicine on Banzarov Square.
- I had experience as a security guard. Replaced his brother for two months. From the special equipment only a flashlight. He was on duty at night. Everything was fine at first. A week later, a strange thing began … - says the young man.
One night from the second floor there was a terrible crash, as if from the stomping of ten people. Considering that the day before one of the Center's offices was almost surrounded, the newly-made security guard decided that they were robbers, and he was seriously scared.
- Where to break, to whom to pray? I just ran to the phone to call the police. But as soon as he picked up the receiver, the rumble stopped. This was repeated for three nights in a row. Later, the head physician personally approached me with the question: “Have you heard something? Come on.” As it turned out, they have been hearing exactly the same rumbling and clattering constantly for several years.
The head physician also told about the history of the building. It turns out that on the site of the Oriental Medicine Center there was once a temporary point where torture took place, and people were shot in a small courtyard. There is also an old door overlooking the river. It was very "convenient" to shoot and immediately dump the corpses … They shot both lamas and priests. The staff of the Center are sure that now these restless souls still make themselves felt, frightening the guards at night.
By the way, a similar situation is in one of the buildings of VSGUTU on Kalandarishvili Street. There in 1918 was the Bolshevik and Executive Committee of the Soviets of the Baikal region. During the day, there is an ordinary student life, and at night you can hear the creaks of floorboards and groans, frightening even the most seasoned guards.
City on bones
If you believe that the restless souls of the dead still live in places where mass executions or torture once took place, it becomes scary. After all, almost all of Ulan-Ude is practically built on bones.
Ghosts should be common in all areas of the city. For example, according to the stories of local historians, until the mid-30s, the executed victims of political repression were buried east of the Zheleznodorozhny District, in pine forests. According to some reports, there is also a chain of burials along the line of the park. Oreshkova - Strelka, between Small Tologoi and Istok, near Gurulba and Tulunzha. They also buried behind the “Eastern Gate”, on Bogorodsky Island, in the area of the 102nd quarter, and so on.
Another strange place in Ulan-Ude is near Detention Center No. 1 on ul. Pristanskaya. A whole line of ruins of buildings from the middle of the 20th century lies ominously along the river. The locals talk about strange lights and voices. People were also shot in the basements of the Verkhneudinsky SIZO on Pristanskaya.
But most often unexplained phenomena occur near the "House of Culture and Death". This is what the people call the House of Culture of the LVRZ. In July 1993, during the construction of garages nearby, workers discovered the remains of five people. The examination showed that the time of death of these people was more than 50 years ago, and the reason was gunshot wounds to the head. Apparently, the remains also belonged to victims of political repression in the 1930s. Strange sounds and phenomena are reported both by people who work inside the building and by those who keep their cars in nearby garages.
- Local grandmothers talk about various strange things, about which, perhaps, it is generally better to remain silent. I hardly believe in all this, but somehow I myself witnessed something … terrible. I was going to put the car in the garage, and in front of me out of nowhere appeared an unpleasant black column of either smoke, or … It just got off the ground, circled in one place and disappeared into thin air,”admits Oleg Badmazhapov, a resident of the PVZ area.
Death track
It is hard not to believe in the existence of something mystical, and when you hear about constant terrible accidents on the Ulan-Ude - Kurumkan - Novy Uoyan highway. Which is called the Death Track. One terrible accident after another occurs on a dangerous track. Moreover, it is often on this road that even the most experienced drivers do not cope with control.
In the summer, such accidents occur on a dangerous track all the time. There is even a legend among the drivers that they pass on to each other.
- I was also told about the "black echelon", which sometimes at sunset, like a mirage, appears before my eyes. A column of arrested people, dressed in rags, wanders along the road. And around a dozen armed people. I have not seen this. I don't really believe in this story, but accidents happen here too often - this is a fact, - says the driver Mikhail Kostromin.
For help from priests
The townspeople have already come to terms with the idea that the ghost also lives in the Museum of Ulan-Ude, which is located in the house of the hereditary honorary citizen of Verkhneudinsk, Irkutsk merchant Ivan Goldobin. Museum "abnormal inhabitants" is a separate story altogether.
But most often people talk about meeting "evil spirits" at home. The taps open by themselves, and water flows, doors slam, footsteps or voices are heard - these are the most common complaints.
With such problems, people now and then come to representatives of different religions. Someone asks Orthodox priests to consecrate their home. Others rush to the lamas or shamans. Tengeri shamans say that such complaints are common and frequent for them.
- It happens that at night they cannot fall asleep, feeling someone's presence, or some sounds … Recently, a family came to us, who constantly saw in the switched off TV, mirror, glass some small creature a meter high, recalls the last case from practices shaman of the center "Tengeri" Denis Ilygeev.
As the shaman explains, entities are generally different. Wandering restless souls are the most common cases.
- Imagine a situation when an apartment is sold after the death of a loved one. And the soul remains in this apartment. He walks, interferes with new tenants. Up to the point that the water itself opens in the tap and so on.
Therefore, always, stopping into someone's house or how a new one was built, the dwelling must be consecrated. It doesn't matter who it will be, father, shaman, lama. Such traditions, - Denis assures.
We were also reminded of the consecration of the dwelling in the Buryat Diocese. And not necessarily to get rid of the entities, but to receive a blessing. Note that, according to the Diocese, the consecration of even business objects is now becoming popular. Entrepreneurs don't talk about ghosts, but they complain about frequent breakdowns of new equipment and other troubles.
Whether or not to believe in the other world is a personal matter for each of us. Someone will consider all of the above to be an invention and a figment of the imagination of the Ulan-Ude people. After all, a massive psychosis based on popular TV shows and articles. But maybe there really is a parallel reality and another world next to us, into which some people inadvertently looked?
