Can you somehow explain the Russian people's passion for anomalies, riddles and secrets? What makes you go to places of ill fame from year to year? Maybe it's about the desire to conquer your fears? Or maybe in a thirst for more and more new adventures. To understand this, we decided to take a virtual tour of sinister places.
Devil's swamp of the Novgorod region
Which of us has not been visited by the thought: "That would disappear without a trace now!" If the desire is really great, you can try your "luck" in the Devil's Swamp in the Novgorod region. It is better to leave the compass at home - you will hardly need its help in the swamp, you will still get lost. Locals warn: don't go to the Devil's Swamp! Disappear without a trace.
Mountain of the Dead in the Sverdlovsk Region
Mansi call this place "Holat Syahil", which translates as "Mountain of the Nine Dead". Everyone who goes to the mountain with 9 people will inevitably die. Groups of people died on the Mountain more than once. In most cases, no external damage was found on their bodies, but their faces were shackled by wild horror. It was on this mountain that Dyatlov's group mysteriously died. So that something like this does not happen to you, you should not pass under the "Golden Gate" - two huge stone arches that are located on top of one of the rocks.

Medveditskaya mountain in the Volgograd region
Ball lightning and UFOs - that's what there is more than enough on Medveditskaya Mountain. Some researchers argue that lightning travels along well-defined trajectories, namely, through underground tunnels with a diameter of 20 meters with smooth and even walls. Local residents claim that robbers and gypsy horse thieves deftly floated stolen goods through these tunnels in ancient times. But allegedly in 1942 the tunnels were blown up. Old-timers tell everyone who wants to go to the mountain how in 1990 a shepherd sat down to rest on a haystack in the Devil's Lair of Medveditskaya Mountain, and he burned alive, but his clothes and hay remained unharmed.
Devil's glade in the Krasnoyarsk Territory
It is believed that before the fall of the Tunguska meteorite, nothing supernatural happened in the clearing. And then it began - the tourists disappeared in whole groups, the animals that ran into the clearing certainly died, while their corpses did not decompose for a long time. The devices record incredible electromagnetic radiation, as if a high-voltage line passes nearby, and the compass needle does not point at all to the north, as it should be, but directly to the center of the ominous meadow. According to eyewitnesses who visited the clearing, they were pursued by causeless fear, and the body was fettered by unbearable pain. Dead village Rastess in the Sverdlovsk region
Once the well-known Babinovsky tract, which connected the European and Asian parts of Russia, passed through the village. Gold miners lived in the village. Perhaps for this reason, the place was liked by the aliens - eyewitnesses tirelessly talked about the mysterious glow. And in general, the village was popular, because in addition to the aforementioned comrades, evil spirits lived in it together with evil spirits. Today there is not a soul in the village. A depressing picture - as if in a second, the inhabitants took and disappeared, leaving things and unfinished business in their houses. The local cemetery is no less a nightmarish sight, with a huge number of gaping dug graves. Hunters and tourists bypass the village, which they wish for the rest.
Malovishersky forest in the Novgorod region
If you really want to see something outlandish in the forest besides mushrooms and berries, Malovishersky is the most suitable place. According to the aborigines, a small group of hominoids (in other words, snowmen) settled in this forest area, which the locals called affectionately - "avdoshki". And everything went from the woman Avdotya, who lived in the village and dreamed of getting married. Only no one was in a hurry to make her a wife, because she was a strange person. Having lost her last hope, Avdotya waved her hand and went into the forest. And she chose not some banal hut for living, but a hole. So she lived in a hole for a year or two, and then disappeared. True, someone swore that he saw her with a wild man overgrown with wool. Allegedly, from this union, "avdoshki" appeared, which populated the entire forest. But is it worth believing such slander?
Lake Labynkyr in Yakutia
Who doesn't know about the Loch Ness Monster now? And we have enough of our own. The twin brother of the Scottish monster lives on the Yakut Labynkyr lake. His name is devil. Local residents warn: the monster is aggressive, does not spare either animals or people. It is better not to sit on the shore for a long time - it can go ashore.
