Our planet is rich in mysterious and mysterious phenomena that take place in various places. Disappearance of people, appearance of ghosts, mystical influence on mechanisms, spontaneous movement of objects, etc. Are just a few of them. Since most of these phenomena defy any intelligible explanation, they are attracting more and more researchers and thrill-seekers.
Most often, when asked about the mysterious places of the planet, almost any person will name the Bermuda Triangle or the Egyptian pyramids, but there are such little-known places that, in terms of the level of mystery, are not inferior to their more popular brothers.
In connection with the above, strange phenomena in the catacombs located in the city of Jihlav (Czech Republic) are of particular interest. These underground structures were created by people in the Middle Ages. A lot of mystical stories and legends are associated with the catacombs. The most common is associated with music. It is said that organ sounds can be heard in the dungeon corridors at midnight. Meeting in numerous passages of a haunted structure is also not uncommon. Scientists have not been able to explain the numerous mystical manifestations on the territory of the catacombs, and the assumptions that have already been considered are considered by learned men to be anti-scientific. But the abundant evidence of what is happening underground makes researchers try again and again to explain the mysterious events.
In 1996, the catacombs were explored by a special scientific and archaeological expedition. The members of the group admitted that, indeed, under the vaults of the dungeon (and this is at a depth of 10 meters!) Organ music sounds, the source of which cannot be determined. Also, it is recognized that there is not a single room in the catacombs suitable for placing such an instrument. Psychologists examined eyewitnesses who heard music in the dungeons, but doctors did not confirm the presence of a massive hallucination. A legend is associated with organ music in the walls of the dungeons. They say that in the basements of the catacombs in ancient times the inquisitors tortured a young musician who knew how to masterfully play the organ. The holy fathers considered him too talented and explained the young man's gift as a connection with the devil himself. Now the music can be heard during the day, at the time when the young organist was executed.
Another, so to speak, "pearl" of the Czech catacombs is the "luminous staircase" found in the farthest underground passages of the building. Even the old-timers, who know every corner of the dungeon, were unaware of the existence of this wonderful staircase. The first assumption of such a luminous effect was the possible presence of phosphorus on the surface of the object (phosphorus could get on the walls and stairs from the bones of the ancient burials of monks), but analysis of samples did not confirm this version.
The staircase itself, on closer inspection, does not stand out in anything special. But there comes a time when it begins to glow with a reddish-orange light or green, which causes a kind of mystical delight. Even if you turn off all the lighting fixtures in the area of this staircase, the glow of the stone walls and steps will remain intense.
Another version was the assumption that the staircase is somehow "recharged" from the electric lamps illuminating the underground structure. Conducted an experiment: they turned off the light and closed the entrance to the catacombs. After a while they returned - the stairs and walls did not glow. But it was known earlier that they do not always glow, so this experience does not prove anything.
Scientists suggest that the source of the glow may be the presence of radioactive elements in the rocks that form the walls and stairs of the underground passage. But this is only one of the versions.

Another interesting point. It turned out that during World War II, the Nazis used the catacombs as reliable bunkers and wrote neon green paint on the walls. The question arises: why did the Germans need to cover the 10-meter section of the wall and the staircase of the underground with this paint? Why did they use green paint specifically? From the surviving documents of those times, it became known that the headquarters and barracks of the SS units were located in the catacombs, and the Germans conducted numerous esoteric experiments. The purpose of their experiments was to find the entrance to the underworld of Agharti.
As it turned out, all this was done on the direct instructions of Hitler, whose interest in the occult sciences and mystical teachings was very great. The head of the Reich spared no expense for mystical research, including in the mines and catacombs of the Czech Republic. It may sound ridiculous, but the Germans tried to make contact with the other world in order to get help in conquering the whole world. The Germans used the green fluorescent color, believing that it is with its help that it is possible to carry out the transition of a person's consciousness to the otherworldly state.
The Jihlava dungeon gained popularity after the release of a documentary about a ghost living in the mysterious passages of the catacombs. The film managed to capture a vague shadow with a raised hand and a strange headdress. Now the dungeon has become a place where mediums, sorcerers and lovers of anomalous zones gather. They hold spiritualistic séances in the catacombs, communicate, exchanging information on similar finds.
Many eyewitnesses claim that the "glowing corridor" has a strange property: near it, there is a strong tingling sensation in the fingertips. Parapsychologists explain this amazing phenomenon as a result of the impact on the human body of a high level of energy accumulating in the "glowing" corridor "of the catacombs. Also, parapsychologists believe that at this level of energy a transition to another time space is possible. But this is just a guess.
There is still a lot of strange things associated with the catacombs. For example, the entrance to the catacombs is located in the building that used to house the Jesuit college. An important fact that can shed light on the mysteries of the dungeons is associated with the past of the city of Jihlava: during the Middle Ages, a huge amount of silver was mined there, which subsequently led to the prosperity of the city and the development of crafts, science and art in it.
The information available today about the Jihlava catacombs does not provide an opportunity to unravel the secrets of this man-made underground in the Czech Republic. This means that interesting finds are still waiting for their researchers.
