Pensioner Tatyana Barkova is a regular reader of the Meshcherskaya Storona. Either he calls to tell about the sore point, then with a question to the "Information", or even just talk. Rarely what story from her lips goes without mentioning mysticism and signs of fate.
At first, we didn't pay attention to this. But not so long ago, Tatyana Mikhailovna's brother, Viktor, dropped in at the Meshcherka - a relative asked to bring us photographs. We talked with him, and it turned out that mystical phenomena played an important role in the life of the Barkovs' brother and sister, and one simply cannot but tell about it.
Having previously agreed on a meeting, on a warm May day, I went to visit Tatiana and Viktor, who have lived together since childhood and almost never parted. The pensioners were waiting for me. Having settled in a cozy kitchen, they told me about their destinies and about that very supernatural and simply inexplicable that haunts them all their lives.
Victor and Tatiana's mom is from Georgia. She was very young - only three years old - when one day she went for a walk in the park with her mother, and she disappeared. The girl sat alone on the bench for several hours, and then an unknown woman approached her and took her home. So Valya stayed with her new parents, having received a different surname - Ternovaya. Soon the war began, numerous transfers. However, despite the cycle of events in her life and the life of the country and the world, Valentina Nikolaevna did not leave the thought of finding out where her mother was and what her real name was. The woman lived with this dream until her death - Valentina Nikolaevna died last year without solving this riddle, although she tried. It is possible that this burden, which haunted the mother all her life, somehow affected impressionable children. However, both Victor and Tatiana are sure that everything they see is for real.
Brother and sister Barkova are very similar. And externally, and even the intonations of the voice.
“I was born in 1954 in Chita,” Tatyana Mikhailovna began her story. - And Vitya was already born in the city of Cheremkhovo, Irkutsk region. Our dad was a military man, and therefore we constantly wandered from one place to another. Wherever he was transferred: to Siberia, and to various union republics.
Soviet times, a military family. And suddenly the grandmother meets … a ghost.
- She was just then working as a night watchman - guarding cars and trucks for the trust. It was all just in Cheremkhovo, - Tatiana Barkova continued. - One winter night, my grandmother, as usual, made a detour and went to the garage, where she sat down on the sofa and fell asleep. And she woke up from the fact that someone puts hands under her. She was frightened, of course, opened her eyes and saw a gray-haired old man in front of her. But the garage was locked from the inside, and no one could enter it. And suddenly this old man asked her: "Do you want wealth?" And the grandmother answered: "Now is not the time to live in wealth." After these words, the old man walked over to the car repair pit and disappeared.

The grandmother told this story to her relatives, but no one believed it. However, the pensioner did not dare to go to work alone and, in order not to go crazy, took 8-year-old Vitya with her.
- And already on the first night of duty, I also saw a ghost, - said the man. - Grandma went to make a round, and I was sitting on the couch. And suddenly the silhouette of a plump woman appeared in the doorway. She went into the garage and froze. Stood rooted to the spot. I couldn't say a word. There was a towel on her shoulder and a soap dish in her hands. And suddenly my grandmother came into the garage and asked a stranger something. And she began to laugh like mad. And then she began to move away, hid behind the cars and disappeared. We tried to find her, but there was no one in the garage.
During the next watch, the ghosts also did not leave the pensioner and her grandson: either the sofa was moved directly with the sleeping people, or the felt boots were scattered. And during the third shift, the ghost reappeared. The boy wanted to go to the toilet and went to the pit, and suddenly a fat elderly man in a hat began to appear from there. "Do you want money?" the ghost asked. Vitya was speechless and could not answer. The grandmother heard that the grandson was talking to someone. And only realizing that this was again the tricks of the ghost, the elderly woman began to call the boy to her. And before their eyes, the stranger disappeared into this pit.
“I still don’t understand what it was,” the interlocutor continued. “But they wouldn't let me into this garage again. And the drivers, too, at first did not believe our words, until one of them saw this ghost with his own eyes. He was repairing a car there one night, then climbed into the cab and fell asleep. And someone pounced on him from above, strangled and did not let go. But a strong driver was able to get out of the car. The man realized that it was not without evil spirits. He did not dare to sleep, and so that it was not so scary, he began to sing.
In the Barkov family, everything was not going very smoothly either. Parents divorced. The father left for Kursk, and the children with their mother Valentina and grandmother moved to the Kaliningrad region. The man created a new family. In that marriage, a girl was born (now she lives in America). The last time Tatiana saw her father was when she was 17 years old. Mom never married again.
“That was 1967,” the woman continued. - I then studied in the second shift. I stayed with a friend and realized that I was late for school. I immediately ran home. We lived on the first floor. In the window, I first saw my mother. And then I look - instead of mom, there is already a father in a military uniform. And around his head is a blue halo. And suddenly he began to disappear, as if he had dissolved. I go into the house, I ask my mother: "Has Dad arrived?" But no father was there. And only then I realized that something strange was happening to our family.
Mysterious visions did not prevent Victor and Tatiana from getting an education. She is a clerk by profession, he is a chemical engineer-technologist, graduated from a Moscow university. Tatiana worked most of the time as the head of the office, Viktor as a chemical engineer. But my personal life did not work out. Neither Tatiana nor Victor have gotten a family, they have no children or grandchildren.
My brother, sister and mother moved to Ryazan from Ufa in 1994. They bought an apartment here and did not leave anywhere else - they were tired of the nomadic life.
- Once I went on a business trip to the Yaroslavl region for engineering work, - said Viktor Mikhailovich. - I bought the necessary parts and decided to stay at the hotel. I went into my room - and suddenly I heard someone knocking on the windows. And this was the second floor. I went to the hotel worker to see what was happening with me. But the girl, apparently, was frightened or simply did not believe and sent me back to the room. When I went back in, the knocking stopped.
- And it was at this time that a drunken neighbor, besides a drug addict, burst into our apartment in Ryazan, - the woman immediately added. - My mother and I were scared and did not know what to do. And he tried to open the lock with a knife, beat on the door and shouted. But in the end the rowdy broke the knife and cut all his hands. Then he ran to his apartment and locked himself. When I opened the door, there was a large pool of blood on the floor. You see, a neighbor was breaking into our house, and someone beat Vitya on the windows, warned him.
The most terrible mystical events in the Barkovs' apartment took place in 2016. Tatyana Mikhailovna calls them predictions and predictions. One December night, as a woman was sleeping in her room, she heard footsteps. Waking up, the hostess saw a lady enter the bedroom and sit down on the sofa. "Mom, are you?" - Tatiana asked. But the answer is silence. The woman looked closely and saw a stranger with a translucent face. And then this person went out the door and disappeared.
“And a few days later my brother went to the kitchen and saw there that the newspapers that were in the pile were laid out one by one,” the interlocutor added. - They turned out like steps. And in February 2017, our mother died.
After the funeral, Tatyana Mikhailovna decided to complete her business - to find out at least the real name of her mother. For a long time she wrote letters to all possible authorities, but there was no result. Luck smiled in the winter of this year, when, together with the correspondent of the Meshcherskaya Storona, an official request was drawn up to the administration of the Georgian city of Zugdidi, where the Barkovs' mother supposedly once lived. A month later, the answer came from there: the real name of Valentina Nikolaevna is Bura.
- Having received the answer that my mother had been looking for all her life, I calmed down, and I think she too. Now I am looking for my other relatives, I continue to write letters. It's good if someone is found, - says Tatiana Mikhailovna.
By the way, since then there have been no ghosts and other anomalies in the life of the brother and sister. Whether this is connected with the solution to the main secret and family - the relatives do not yet know.
Now both Viktor and Tatiana Barkovs are retired: he is for the harmfulness of production, she is for disability. Brother and sister have lived their whole lives together and, one might say, never parted - only during their student days. I asked them if they were tired of each other for so many years.
- We are used to each other, - answered the owner of the house. - Now they started repairs. While there are two of us, we cannot call ourselves lonely. We are interested in something else: why are we given this mystical gift? After all, even our dreams are the same. And often prophetic.
