Having an energetic affinity with any place, you become a part of its single organism.
One of the legends of the Crimea tells how a brave young man, saving a bride, blinded a huge terrible cyclops living on Black Mountain with an arrow. Pursuing its offender, the monster fell into the Karadag gorge. Howling with pain, the cyclops that broke the bones turned in vain in a stone trap: huge stones and whole cliffs, breaking off, fell into the sea. All night, the top of Karadag spewed fire, smoke and ash, covered with cracks. The next morning the Black Mountain was gone. She collapsed, burying the giant beneath her. In its place, ridges of bizarre shapes and rocks, similar to wild animals, remained. This is how the Dead City and the Devil's Finger appeared - centers of power, sometimes manifesting themselves in the most unexpected way.
It was a hot summer day in mid June 2013. On one of the green slopes of the Karadag, a roe deer appeared among the trees, watching the excursion group going in the direction of the Devil's finger. The admiration of the roe deer and the splendor of the ancient extinct volcano was interrupted by the words of the guide: “In our area, on the entire southeastern coast of Crimea, it has not rained for more than six months. There has not been such a drought for several decades. The flora and fauna are dying. The springs are drying up and we don't know what to do. " When the guests of the reserve approached the goal, the guide continued: "If you make a wish and touch the Devil's finger, it will definitely come true." Someone shouted: "Let's ask for rain!" The tourists fell to the stone.
The next day, thunderous rumbles thundered over the Black Sea. The strongest downpour fell on Karadag …
Here is what the guide of the Karadag reserve Vladimir told about these places: “I got a job here in 2002. Once the Odessa Film Studio came to us to shoot a film about fortitude. The boss asked one of the guys to lead the film crew to the Dead City at about four in the morning, at sunrise, as the plot required. I went with them. And the peculiarity of the Dead City is that this place is completely inaccessible for mass visits. It is considered a particularly vulnerable area of ecological diversity. There is even a warning sign "Passage is strictly prohibited!"
We go into the Dead City. We passed two beams - and suddenly something stopped me. What kind of power came upon me? As if they were wearing a huge invisible top hat. I could not even move my fingers. My heart pounded so hard that I felt it pounding. And then a split occurred: I saw myself from the side! I could not understand: is this happening in reality or in a dream?.. I felt that my head was beginning to expand. Now it has already become so huge that it could contain the entire territory of the Dead City. A picture was opened: a huge man with a hammer is standing and beating on an anvil; he has a tanned athletic torso, like the ancient Greek titans at the creation of the world. A noise began to spread all over his head, increasing with each new blow of the hammer. My forces flowed through my feet straight into the bowels. When there is nothing left in the upper body,I was seized with a terrible fear. I tried to swing, and the body gave in: the fingers and toes began to move, and the legs gradually came to life. I understood: we must take the first step forward and try to break out of the cylinder zone.
The body obeyed little by little; walking half a step, I began to get out of a strange state. Still feeling weak, I was afraid that a few more steps and I would fall.

Suddenly another picture appeared in front of me - the place where I will now climb: stones; a cliff from which a magnificent panorama opens; the huge full moon shines, and the full moon, as you know, is a time of great energetic activity. I knew immediately: this place is very powerful! Everyone else went ahead, and I stopped. And I saw what I expected: a pile of stones and a stunningly beautiful view. Delight seized me; it took about ten minutes to breathe. Strength began to return to me, and, finally, I was able to calmly move on. Oddly enough, I went to the observation deck at the same time with everyone. The sun was about to rise. My borderline state was perfectly consistent with this twilight time …
Trying to comprehend what happened to me, I did not discount my past experience: before I was seriously involved in martial arts and was prepared to work with energy.
When we were returning from the observation deck, I asked: did anyone else feel anything unusual? It turned out that someone also experienced a rapid heartbeat, malaise or shortness of breath in different parts of the route, someone squeezed their temples and a heaviness appeared in their head … With the operator who carried the camera, about the same happened as with me, but ended faster.
The film crew never appeared here again. And the film never came out: everything that was filmed with the camera disappeared …
