The outskirts of the village of Shelomy have already become a place of pilgrimage for lovers of mysticism for several months. Whole families come to see with their own eyes the mysterious glow over the graveyards and glowing balls that appear from nowhere. Local residents assure that this continues almost every evening, but not everyone is able to see the unusual phenomenon with their own eyes.
One of those who were convinced that the stories about Shelom's poltergeist are not fairy tales is the head of the regional department of culture Olga Sannikova.
- For the first time I saw the multi-colored glow over the old cemetery and the mysterious balls that either approached each other or moved away, I felt quite creepy, - Olga Vladimirovna told the correspondent of our editorial office. The woman admitted that she was trying to find an explanation for what was happening, but so far she had not succeeded.
- There is an opinion that the glowing balls visible in the distance are the headlights of passing cars, - Olga Sannikova explained, - but I still think that this is not so. It doesn't look like car headlights at all. Mysterious balls appear out of nowhere and also suddenly disappear, then freeze for a while, then merge with each other, then move away at a considerable distance.
The head of the Shelomovsky rural settlement, Alexander Atroshenko, also sees something mystical in what is happening. He himself never managed to see the glowing balls, which the locals vied with each other, but he believes that it is impossible to explain what is happening rationally, and the fact that several people witnessed the unusual phenomenon at once deserves attention.
Alexander Viktorovich, said that in this cemetery the first burials took place in the 18th century. According to local legends, three women are buried here, who during their lifetime gained fame as owners of occult knowledge. The last burial here was about a year ago.
With a request to explain what is happening from the point of view of religion, we turned to the rector of the Temple of the Miracle of the Archangel Michael in Khonekh, Vladimir Pohozhay. The priest did not comment on this phenomenon, saying only that he himself went to Shelomy and saw nothing unusual there. If inexplicable phenomena do exist, their nature needs to be studied, - Father Vladimir explained.
By the way, in the World Wide Web, there was a completely rational explanation for the glow over the burials: when human bones are destroyed, the phosphorus released in this case passes through the soil layer and creates a slight glow in the dark. It turns out that this phenomenon is not so rare. So, in Washington, at the Arlington cemetery, within one month, greenish glow was noticed three times over military graves.

Those who have witnessed this phenomenon claim that the glow has no obvious source and does not illuminate the surrounding objects. Sometimes it wanders around the cemetery, moving not high above the ground in a shapeless bright spot.
Search engines for the query "glow over the cemetery" return dozens of photographs taken in different parts of the world. But it has not yet been possible to photograph the "Shelomov poltergeist". In any case, no one presented such photographs for everyone to see. Eyewitnesses say that a camera tuned to a mysterious glow eventually captures the darkness.
Meanwhile, the locals, it seems, are already so accustomed to what is happening that, seeing once again the mysterious balls, they treat them as something ordinary. Well, for those who want to see an unusual phenomenon with their own eyes, the locals give advice: to come to Shelomy not as soon as it gets dark, but later, and not to leave in 10-15 minutes, but wait a little longer.
