I wonder why the editorial board of the TV-3 channel has not yet moved to the South Urals in full force and has not opened a head office here? Somewhere not far from Arkaim, to make reports, grabbing topics from the thick air full of secrets and mysticism.
The idea, by the way, is not devoid of sense, because to match the format of the TV channel, the Chelyabinsk region keeps in itself a whole darkness of mysteries, secrets and anomalous zones. I propose to talk about the latter in more detail.
Read about how the secret developments of Soviet scientists caused the appearance of the "Kasli anomaly", what kind of shamans with antennas are depicted on "Stone Tents", and why Lake Shaitanka is considered unclean, read the new rating of "Good News".
In the last place is the Big Iremel mountain
Let's start with the fact that Iremel has its own mysterious story. Take the title. It has been known since time immemorial, when the Turks (ancestors of the modern Bashkirs) inhabiting these lands called the mountain “a place that gives a person strength,” that is, “Iremel” in their language. By the way, the name of the nearby village Tyulyuk translates as “desire”.
The presence of these two place names is already suggestive. For example, there is a legend that if you climb a mountain and make a wish, it will certainly come true. Rumor has it that in ancient times the priests of pagan cults performed human sacrifices on the top of Iremel. Perhaps that is why the place enjoys a gloomy fame. A variety of rumors are associated with him. From frequent sightings of UFOs to the mysterious people "Chud white-eyed", whose representatives allegedly live in those parts.

The ninth place is occupied by Lake Itkul
Translated from Bashkir, Itkul means "meat lake", as "it" ("meat"), and "kul" ("lake"). Scientists believe that this name was given to the lake because of the abundance of various fish in it. Although there is a version that, on the order of the Demidovs, several pork carts were thrown there in order to drive out the Muslims who lived near the reservoir and protested against industrial work.
But it is not this fact that Lake Itkul is sadly famous. And the fact that in the middle of its water surface the so-called "Shaitan Stone" rises menacingly. There is a version that in the days of hoary antiquity, human sacrifices were made on this stone for the sake of the harvest and good weather. It is noteworthy that centuries later, people's lives continue to end near this stone. A lot of swimmers drowned, and those who survived describe an unpleasant feeling as if some kind of energy cord was passing through them.
In eighth place are "Stone Tents" in the Kasli district
Any child from the village of Allaki of the Kasli district with the intonation of an experienced guide will tell you that it was here that there was once a Finno-Ugric village. It was they who, about 7,000 years ago, painted strange little men with antennas on their heads on the "tents" with red ocher. But it would be okay little people, because, most likely, the "antennas" were elements of the traditional shaman's headdress.
But not far from the "stone tents", archaeologists discovered a bird-shaped idol, a spear and a jug with blood stains. This leads to thoughts about the harsh rituals that the ancient Finno-Ugrians performed next to their "stone tents". These places are notorious among the residents of the surrounding villages, but young daredevils often do not mind “working” as guides.
The seventh place is occupied by the Arakul shikhans
The place is notable at least for the fact that there are mysterious dolmens (original "boxes" of heavy boulders "). Members of the Kosmopoisk-Ural movement write about these objects in the following way: “The Ural dolmens differ from the well-known Caucasian ones in the way they were erected and in size. In addition, scientists still argue about the purpose of the dolmens, as well as their exact age, today there is no specific answer about who built these “boxes” and why."
And in addition to dolmens, legends about a certain Babka Shikhanka, who lives in the Arakul Shikhans, have become sore. Rumor has it that an evil spirit, taking on the form of a weak old woman, wanders the mountains and brings trouble to tourists. Meeting her does not bode well. Rumor has it that those who saw Granny Shikhanka only have time to tell about their meeting, and then they certainly die. Of course, under the most mysterious circumstances.
In sixth place is the Nurgush mountain range
According to the reports of tourists and hunters, as well as employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, UFOs can be periodically observed in the sky over the mountain, and in the surrounding forests you can meet Bigfoot, about meetings with which Satka regional historian V. P. Cherentsov spoke about in the pages of his book. It was in the vicinity of Nurgush that a cryptozoologist from Chelyabinsk, Nikolai Avdeev, was lucky to take a picture of Bigfoot, but like all materials on this topic, the picture turned out to be blurry and poorly informative.
The fifth place is occupied by the Ignatievskaya cave
The famous cave is located near the village of Serpievka, which is in the Katav-Ivanovsky region. Having a corridor character and almost half a kilometer in length, it consists of four sections - the Entrance grotto, the Main corridor, the Big and the Far hall. It was named after the old cell attendant Ignatius, who lived and died in the cave. According to legend, the spirit of the elder Ignatius leaves the cave at night and looks at the moon.
Among tourists, there is an opinion that at night in the cave you can hear someone's steps and unintelligible voices. And besides, next to any of the departments of such a stone corridor, people every now and then run out of batteries, flashlight lamps burn out, camera flashes refuse to work, and those who enter feel someone's invisible presence. Many people say that it is very difficult to get high-quality photographs in one of the halls - a "white transparent veil" appears on them.
In fourth place is the Kasli anomaly
It all started when members of the Ural branch of the Kosmopoisk movement discovered strange circles on satellite images. Several versions of their origin immediately arose. One of them was that the circles are similar to those of Arkaim and represent the remains of an ancient settlement. The second version can be conditionally called - "ufological", well, you know, inexplicable crop circles, mysterious drawings, as if made by the hand of a giant.
The third version was called military. It was she who, as it turned out later, was the closest to the truth. It turned out that once this place was a radio testing ground for testing and adjusting the secret products of the "Radiy" plant. The plant specialized in the production of defense radio equipment, the names of previously closed samples, which were tested at the test site, with a concentric movement system, even became known from open sources. Experiments with classified equipment are supposed to have left strange traces on the ground.
The third is the lake "Shaitanka"
The lake with the ominous name Shaitanka is located not far from Asha. It is remarkable, as usual, for its furious legends. So, according to one of them, the reservoir is considered bottomless (they officially speak of a depth of 200 meters), according to the other, a certain "monster" lives in its depths, and the third ascribes to the lake frequent UFO sightings. In fact, it is difficult to talk about whether the place is "abnormal" or just myths. For example, sometimes groundwater begins to rise sharply and splash out, as it were, over the edge of Shaitanka, flooding the surrounding area with a mass of peat, emitting an unbearable stench. At the same time, the water in the lake seems to boil. All these phenomena were previously associated with the intrigues of evil spirits, and therefore gave the lake the appropriate name. And now the locals, already well-versed in matters of esotericism and extrasensory perception, saythey say there is bad energy.
Taganay National Park is in second place
There are a variety of legends and myths about this park. Someone says that in some places the usual flow of time disappears, others claim that they personally met with “Kialimskaya Babka”. For example, once in winter at Dalniy Taganai, near the lower well, even the director of the weather station saw her. Seeing the director, "grandma" rushed headlong into the depths of the taiga. She was barefoot and lightly dressed, although it was bitterly cold. And besides this mysterious pensioner, UFOs, "snowmen" and other extraordinary phenomena are regularly seen on Taganai. However, no one has yet succeeded in fixing the "miracles" for certain.
In the first place, as you might have guessed, Arkaim
If you listen to homegrown mediums, then the ancient settlement of the Bronze Age is one continuous anomalous zone! Entire armies of psychics annually besiege Arakim in search of "power". And what they just do not see. Mysterious lights, according to the notorious magicians and "healers", no longer surprise anyone, being, as it were, part of the landscape. In fact, most of these miraculous phenomena are a figment of the imagination of those people who come to Arkaim to be "charged" with energy.
On the other hand, some cases of strange electromagnetic vibrations were recorded by special instruments. Perhaps this fact is somehow connected with the numerous stories of "contactees" and "eyewitnesses of the unknown."
