For many, the domestic taiga, which we sometimes hear about in the news and TV shows about animals, is simply a vast territory overgrown with coniferous forest. This is a wrong opinion. Taiga is not only a harsh wilderness, but also a little-known area with its unique properties and ancient secrets.
In the spring of 2006, a cave with unusual rock paintings was discovered in the southern taiga. Three months later, a private expedition of five people was sent to the site to explore the forest dungeons, led by Nikolai K. The main purpose of the trip was to explore the caves and strange rock paintings without attracting too much attention. The potential grandeur of the find was not only of historical value, but also of financial value.
A day after the arrival of the researchers, an alarm signal was received from them and a rescue helicopter was sent to their camp. When the rescuers returned, they needed to urgently take the only survivor (Alexei R.) to the local intensive care unit. Crimson streams of blood flowed from the eyes and ears of the researcher, the condition was assessed as critical. The patient was in a semi-faint state and was constantly whispering something. Under the influence of strong antibiotics and tranquilizers, by the morning Alexei felt better and he was able to tell about what had happened. Here is an excerpt from his testimony:
“I said that the huntsman’s find didn’t bode well, but he didn’t want to hear it… It all happened. In the evening, closer to night even, I went to pick up some firewood, and the rest were at the tents … And then it will be distributed! A cry, a roar or a rumble … I can't say what it was, but still it looks like a cry … Or a lot of screams … Inhuman … Very loud … there … In short, everyone is dead. I came up and looked, and their ears were bleeding … I took the walkie-talkie from Kolyan … I don't remember any further … Probably passed out …"
The next day, Alexei died. According to unconfirmed information, the heart could not stand strong medications. According to information from other sources, the patient died of brain inflammation.
Eardrums and some internal organs were damaged in all the researchers who died. The impression was that people were in the epicenter of some kind of explosion, but there was no external damage to the bodies. How noise with such an effect could have been caused in the deep taiga is completely unclear.
The entire area was "combed" up and down, and in the end a small cave came across the task force. In it were discovered rock paintings of incomprehensible content and a deep natural tunnel into the bowels of the earth. Fearing wild animals and collapses, the law enforcement agencies left the cave.
A year later, another expedition came to this place, but the cave was never found. In its place, there was a huge boulder behind which there was nothing. As if the ill-fated dungeon was a wound for Taiga, which has overgrown without a trace.
