Anomalous places in Russia where all the hell is going on. Medveditskaya ridge - an anomalous zone of the Volgograd region

Many skeptics who do not believe in mysticism and believe that a scientific explanation can be found for everything will certainly doubt the reliability of the information presented below. But in any case, it is pointless to deny that there are a number of inexplicable anomalies in nature that not only frighten, but terrify.

Stories from mysterious disappearances and deaths in disastrous places that can be found in Russia, chill the blood and make you truly horrified. In the continuation of the article you will find a list of the most terrible places in our country.

Devil's Cemetery (Krasnoyarsk Territory)

It is known about 75 missing or dead in the last 30 years. Within the territory of Krasnoyarsk Territory, on top of a low mountain, there is a strange clearing with a hole in the very center. According to some sources, it was formed in 1908. Versions have been put forward that the appearance of this place is directly related to the fact of the fall of the Tunguska meteorite, and the hole in the center is nothing more than the mouth of a long-extinct volcano, pierced by an object during its fall. People called this strange place the Devil's Graveyard.

Over the past thirty years, at least 75 people have either disappeared or died in the area. Being in the Devil's cemetery is detrimental to all living things. Hundreds of cows fell, deciding to taste the herbs from the clearing. In the post-war period, all the inhabitants of these unsafe places were resettled. From the stories of the old-timers, it became known that a huge number of people died either on the territory of the glade itself, or being in a small radius from it.

In the 80s, researchers became interested in this anomalous zone and began to persistently search for the Devil's cemetery. Several expeditionary units are still considered missing. About 75 searchers also did not return from search trips.

In 1991, an eerie clearing was found. A large serious expedition was going to study it. In the same year that the glade was found, a film called "Devil's Cemetery" was made about this place. Many publications published articles and photos about this mysterious place. Those who wish to visit the area of ​​the Devil's Cemetery should know that it is not worth setting up a camp closer than one kilometer, but it is more correct and more convenient to set up a parking lot at the mouth of the Deshemba River. The easiest way to get to your destination is by river. It is really only possible to raft in the period from May to early June. Only professionals should go hiking, as the area is very difficult.

Mountain of the Dead (Sverdlovsk Region)

In 1959, a group of young enthusiasts led by Igor Dyatlov went on an expedition to the Mountain of the Dead. The ascent to the summit was started on February 1st. By coincidence, it is on this day that a magical festival called Candlemas takes place. Before reaching the summit, a group of nine people set up camp for the night. It is not known what the young people witnessed and what made them, having cut the tent from the inside, hastily leave it, going out into the cold with practically no clothes. No traces of someone else's presence were found. No signs of a struggle. No trace of the elements. At the same time, all participants had horrific injuries, some had their tongues torn out, their skin was purple or orange, unnatural even for the dead.

By decree from above, everything related to the Dyatlov expedition was in the strictest secrecy. The Dyatlov group is not the only one who died on the slopes of the terrible mountain. Several expeditions never returned home after visiting her. The publishing house of the Gentry newspaper in the 90s released a huge material dedicated to the Mountain of the Dead. At the same time, specialists from Vladivostok carried out thorough ufological studies. And today this place does not attract tourists too much because of its notoriety. Although on this moment no anomalous manifestations are observed on the mountain and it is safe to visit.

Devil's lair (Volgograd region)

In the Volgograd region, on the ridge called Medvetskaya, there is a place called the Devil's Lair. According to the information received, spontaneous combustion of people occurs in this place. The bodies of local shepherd Mamaev Yuri were discovered in 1990 and combine harvester Tsukanov Ivan. But it is reliably known that Ivan burned down, saving the harvester and the grain field from an unexpected fire.

In the case of the shepherd, there is evidence that the cause of his death was the burning of hay. Nevertheless, this place is considered unkind, although the expedition did not reveal any anomalies. It is safe for hiking.

Lake Labynkyr

In the east of Yakutia, in the Oymyakonsky district, there is an overgrown with legends and amazing stories water. A lake called Labynkyr. According to legend, an animal of incredible size lives in the lake, it is assumed that it is of relic origin. According to local residents, this creature swallows large animals and people. Based on rumors, the death toll is more than ten people. But all this is not reliable, there is no real evidence. The area is wild, impassable, which does not attract researchers. It is because of its mystery that this place is included in the list of the most creepy.

death valley

There are several "valleys" that claim to be the Valley of Death. One of them is located in Valdai, in the Novgorod region. According to local beliefs, somewhere there is a mysterious "stump", near which people and animals disappeared. In fact, no one saw this "stump", the police are also skeptical, and there were no reports of missing people.

Yakutia also has its own "Valley of Death" - Elyuyu Cherkechekh. Its supernatural nature has not been confirmed, none of the researchers have seen any hemispheres radiating heat, copper boilers and other anomalous formations. We have been studying data about this area for ten years, invited about 2000 specialists for all the time, and this does not take into account the help of people who responded to our advertisements in the newspapers. And, summing up, they came to the conclusion that the supernaturalness of this zone is just a fiction based on local legends.

Another Death Valley is located on the Kamchatka Peninsula, not far from the Valley of Geysers. This time its existence is confirmed. There is observed a large number of deaths among animals, there were also data, which are not confirmed, about the loss of life in the area. As a result of our research, it was found that mortality among animals is due to gas poisoning, the causes and frequency have not been identified. For a person, being in this zone is not dangerous, since he will be able to leave the zone on his own in case of gas release. Overnight stays in this area are not recommended.

damn gate

There is one section on the Kolyma tract, passing between two rocks, where a fairly large number of accidents and incidents have been registered, including fatal. No anomalies were found in this segment. The organization of the expedition did not make sense, there are similar sections on almost any route.

Mound of Sineus

According to legend, not far from Belozersk, Volgograd region, there is a burial mound of the Varangian king Sineus, brother of Rurik. During Soviet times, the upper part of the mound was dismantled for construction needs, and a cellar was dug in the rest for a large potato storage. But all the potatoes, as well as the logs of the inner lining, rotted, and in this place a pit filled with a fetid mess formed. Many cases of falling into it were recorded, local residents repeatedly pulled out corpses. According to legend, it is the embittered Sineus who lures people into the pit. The expedition was not organized, the location of the mound could not be established.

Myasnoy Bor

In the Novgorod region in one of the forests there is a swamp. During the Great Patriotic War it took the lives of many soldiers, whose remains are still swallowed up by the swamp.

The exact number of the deceased is unknown, according to preliminary estimates, we are talking about tens of thousands. The sad history of this area creates an atmosphere of fear around.

Cape Ryty

Near Cape Ryty, Baikal, there are many different anomalies - compasses and navigators start to go crazy, sometimes there is an increase in the background radiation, which is why there are currently no settlements near the cape. The nature of these anomalies could not be established, usually the radiation background is within the normal range. Staying near the cape does not promise dangers, you just have to beware of very aggressive earthen bees living there, whose bites are painful.

Damn ravine

Devil's ravine near the village of Lyady, Pskov region. It was said that several people disappeared there before the war. Several cases have also been reported after 1974. Some people still came back and told amazing stories. Expeditions did not reveal anomalies in the area, the loss of people was attributed to difficult terrain, so it is not advised to go there alone without equipment and appropriate knowledge of the area.

On our planet, along with modern, technologically and industrially developed megacities, there are many places created by ancient masters or by nature itself.

Each such attraction has its own legend and, of course, a lot of things are silent. Mysterious places cause a huge number of questions among scientists, confuse with anomalous phenomena and uncertainty.

1. Devil's Tower, USA

The so-called Devil's Tower is actually a natural rock amazingly correct form and consists of columns with sharp corners. This is a truly mysterious place, which, according to research, is more than 200 million years old, located in the United States, on the territory of the modern state of Wyoming.


In size, the Devil's Tower is several times larger than the Cheops pyramid and from the outside it resembles a man-made structure. Due to its unrealistic size and unnaturally regular configuration, the rock has become the object of attention of many scientists, and local residents claim that Satan himself built it.


2. Mounds of Cahokia, USA

Cahokia or Cahokia is an abandoned Indian city, the ruins of which are located near Illinois, USA. This place reminds of how ancient civilizations lived, and its complex structure proves that this area was inhabited by a highly developed people 1500 years ago. The ancient city impresses with its scale, on its territory a network of terraces and 30-meter earth mounds, as well as a huge solar calendar, have been preserved.


It is still unknown why almost 40,000 people left their settlement, and which Indian tribes are direct descendants of the Cahokians. Despite this, the mounds of Cahokia - favorite place many tourists who come here hoping to unravel the mystery of the ancient city.


3. Chavinda, Mexico

This mystical place, according to the beliefs of the natives, is the center of the intersection of the real and otherworldly worlds. That is why incredible things happen here that are difficult to understand for a modern person.


Chavinda is of interest to many treasure hunters, because according to legend, this area hides unprecedented riches. Unfortunately, no one has yet been able to find the treasure. Unfortunate treasure hunters often attribute their failures to otherworldly forces.


4. Newgrange, Ireland

Newgrange is the oldest building on the territory of modern Ireland, it is already about 5 thousand years old. It is believed that this long corridor with a transverse room is a grave, but scientists have not yet been able to determine for whom.


It is still unknown how ancient people were able to build such a perfect structure, which for five millennia was not only lucky enough to survive, retaining its primitive appearance, but also to remain completely waterproof.


5. Pyramids of Yonaguni, Japan

Mysterious underwater pyramids near the western Japanese island Yonaguni cause a lot of controversy among modern archaeologists and surveyors. Main question- whether the structures are a natural phenomenon, or whether they were created by the hand of an ancient person.


In the course of numerous studies, it was possible to establish that the age of the Yonaguni pyramids is more than 10 thousand years. Therefore, if the Yonaguna monuments created mysterious civilizations unknown to us, then the history of mankind should be rewritten.

6. Geoglyphs of Nazca, Peru

The Nazca geoglyphs in Peru are one of the most mysterious places on the planet. They were discovered in the middle of the last century and are still being actively discussed by scientists who cannot unequivocally say what ancient people wanted to express with these giant drawings of animals and for what purpose they were used?


Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to ask the creators, but scientists offer 2 main versions: some, leaning towards the cosmic theory of the origin of geoglyphs, believe that they are landmarks for alien ships, others argue that they are giant lunar calendars. In any case, the Nazca rock paintings are evidence of the existence of an ancient and mysterious civilization on the territory of modern Peru, which lived here long before the famous Incas and was distinguished high level development.


7. Black Bamboo Hollow, China

The hollow of black bamboo or Heizhu is perhaps the most terrible place on Earth. locals they called it the Valley of Death, and for no amount of money do they even want to come close to it. One memory of the hollow brings great horror to them.


They say that children and pets disappear without a trace here, which has a lot of documentary evidence. Scientists have been interested in the hollow of black bamboo for more than a decade, who managed to prove that the valley in the Chinese province of Sichuan is an anomalous area with a difficult climate and dramatically changing weather conditions, which together provokes soil subsidence, which, according to scientists, are the reasons for the disappearance of people.


8. Path of the Giants, Ireland

The Path of the Giants, or the Road of the Giants in Northern Ireland, is an amazing coastal area that was formed many centuries ago as a result of a volcanic eruption. It consists of about 40 thousand basalt columns that look like giant steps.


Natural landmark belongs to the number of objects world heritage UNESCO. This place deserves admiration, so it is visited annually by more than one thousand tourists from all over the world.


9. Goseck circle, Germany

The Goseck Circle is an ancient Neolithic structure in the German district of Burgenlandkreis. The circle was accidentally discovered in the early 90s of the last century while surveying the area from an airplane.


The original appearance of the building was returned only after a complete reconstruction. Scholars have little doubt that the Goseck Circle was used for astronomical observations and calendaring. This proves that our ancestors also studied space bodies, their movement and kept track of time.


10. Moai Monuments on Easter Island

Easter Island is world-famous for its giant Moai statues scattered throughout its territory. Each such megalithic figure is a large monument created by the masters of an ancient civilization in the crater of the local volcano Rano Raraku.


In total, about 1000 remains of such man-made monuments were found on the island. Most have already gone under water.


Today, the vast majority of the statues are again placed on platforms facing the ocean, from where they continue to meet the guests of the island and remind of their former power. ancient people that inhabited these spaces.

11 Georgia Guidestones, USA

Georgia Guidestones - 20 tons of polished granite slabs with inscriptions on eight of the most known languages peace. The inscriptions are commandments for future generations on how to rebuild civilization after a global cataclysm. The monument was installed in 1979, the customer is listed in the documents under the name Robert C. Christian.


The height of the monumental structure is a little over six meters, and the slabs are oriented towards the four sides of the world and have holes. In one of them you can see the North Star at any time of the year, in the second - the Sun during the solstice and equinox. A few years ago, the monument was vandalized and damaged by paint, which has not yet been removed.


12. Richat (Eye of the Sahara). Mauritania

On the territory of modern Mauritania, the largest desert in the world hides an amazing a natural phenomenon the Proterozoic period, whose name is Richat or the Eye of the Sahara.


This property has incredible huge size(up to 50 kilometers in diameter), so it can be seen even from space. The structure has several ellipsoidal rings formed by sedimentary rocks and sandstones about 500 million years ago.


13. "Gate to Hell" - Darvaza crater in Turkmenistan

The Darvaza gas crater is located in the Turkmen Karakum desert. appearance reminiscent of a gate to hell. This fire pit, about 60 meters in diameter and up to 20 meters deep, is the result of excavations carried out here during the Soviet Union.


During such geological studies, a group of scientists discovered an underground cavern with natural gas which almost led to the death of a huge number of people. Therefore, the management decided to set fire to the gas so that it would not threaten the local residents. But the fire, which was supposed to burn no more than 5 days, is still burning, instilling fear in everyone who comes close to it.


Courageous people are ready to take a selfie at the "Gate of Hell"

14. Arkaim, Russia

Arkaim is an ancient settlement reminiscent of ancient civilizations, which was discovered several decades ago in the vicinity of Chelyabinsk. It is believed that this landmark of Russia is the birthplace of the ancient Aryans, who gave rise to European, Persian and Indian civilizations.


Arkaim is not only a unique architectural monument with a thousand-year history, but also a place of concentration of healing energy flows that can save a person from any disease.


15. Stonehenge, England

English Stonehenge is a real place of pilgrimage for tourists from all over the world. It attracts with its mystery, legends and mystical beginning. Stonehenge is a megalithic structure up to a hundred meters in diameter, which is located on the Salisbury Plain.

On the territory of the aforementioned Chinese province, which is no longer distinguished by anything remarkable, there is an anomalous waterfall, the water in which has supernatural properties. It does not freeze even in a thirty-degree frost. The flow of water in that anomalous waterfall is incredibly fast, but this, according to scientists, affects the water and its strange properties. Local old-timers say that the water in that waterfall is healing. They also claim that it does not freeze for fifty years. The researchers who took the water for analysis did not notice anything unusual in it. Moreover, it can even be drunk without pre-treatment.

Lake in Taldykurgan region (Kazakhstan)

To be more precise, on the territory of the Taldykurgan region there is not even a reservoir, but more a puddle. The dimensions of the lake are 100x60 meters. The peculiarity of the reservoir is that it never dries up. The researchers did not find aquatic vegetation and fish there. Very often, divers died trying to dive deeper into this reservoir. Literally at 3 minutes of diving, most of them were suffocating, despite the presence of oxygen tanks behind their backs.

How did Antarctica come about?

Geologists once thought of comparing Antarctica with the Arctic Ocean, after which they found out that the contours of these objects are almost identical. So there was a theory according to which Antarctica in literally squeezed out by a giant cosmic body that crashed into our planet, forming the Arctic Ocean. By the way, the above objects are located on opposite sides of the planet, which gives the right to life of this fantastic theory.

Prehistoric Woolemi Pine Trees (Australia)

Age of data ancient trees- about 150 million years. They were once found in Australia. To this day, the government hides their exact location. Previously, the fact of their existence was also hidden, but for unknown reasons they decided to declassify it. Prehistoric pines have a very high height, smooth trunk, soft needles. Unfortunately, our people have not yet learned to keep what nature gives them. Therefore, tourists are not allowed to the “vulemi”.

Spores of bacteria "Kano"

The American biologist R. Kano once discovered a piece of amber that was up to 25 million years old. He found bacteria in it. Microbiologists under his leadership not only extracted these bacteria from fossilized amber, but also revived them in the laboratory. The survivability of Kano bacteria once again confirms that life on our planet could be delivered from space, or rather from other similar planets, by a meteorite or another cosmic body.

"Iridium anomaly" (Rome)

This anomaly is a geological layer with an excessive content of iridium. The amount of this substance in that area exceeds 300 times allowable rate. This geological layer was located between the other two, which belong to the Mesozoic and Cenozoic era. Thus, it formed around the same time that the dinosaurs began to die out en masse. The "iridium anomaly" in Rome is not the only one on the planet. Such deposits were found all over the Earth, which may indicate that at some point a meteorite, which was dominated by iridium, really hit our planet. Perhaps it was this meteorite that caused the extinction of prehistoric pangolins.

"Thunder bald patch"

This phenomenon of an anomalous nature is formed on earth after a lightning strike. The place where the lightning hit acquires a high energy charge that can be stored there for several minutes. If a person succeeds in stepping on this “bald spot” immediately after lightning hits it, he will die, despite the fact that lightning does not strike him.

"Zero Drift"

This extraordinary phenomenon is characteristic of all computer technology operating at high frequencies. The hands of such devices are often affected by almost imperceptible changing parameters. environment. Because of this, during fine measuring work, the instruments may fail and distort the result.

Drossolides (Crete)

The above concept literally stands for "droplets of liquid". Microscopic droplets can create mirages, as is known. On the territory of the island of Crete, there is the castle of F. Castello, near which the same anomaly periodically occurs: when the air is saturated with foggy droplets, a mirage of a bloody battle begins to appear there. Sometimes eyewitnesses hear the sounds of battle accompanying the mirage. Battle scenes always appear above the sea surface, after which they begin to slowly swim towards the castle and disappear. No one can explain why the mirage demonstrates exactly this. This battle is probably the battle between the Turks and the Greeks, which took place in that area about 150 years ago.

station Peredelkino, Kiev direction

The resting place of the French soldiers who retreated from Moscow in 1812 and died in the battle of Maloyaroslavets is not marked on the map. Finding an experienced guide, wandering through the wilderness for an hour or two, and finally finding a clearing of dry forest with grave ramparts is not so bad. The most difficult thing is not to get scared and not to pull into the thicket, when the clock starts jumping from noon to 6 pm, the grass sags under invisible feet. Here all the devices that register magnetic and electric fields are naughty.

White Gods

White Gods, Sergiev Posad district

Guides for mystical places they promise Russian Stonehenge in the local forest: supposedly there is a stone block here, 3 m high and 6 m long in diameter, at the foot of which they cut sacrificial lambs and girlish throats, sang the unknown gods of antiquity and asked for a good hunt. Apparently, the idol has long been covered with the sands of time: there is not a single photograph, not a single reliable description of the altar. Mystic - and more!

Basurman crypts

Moscow, st. Hospital Val, m. Baumanskaya

In the pestilence of 1771, Muscovites expanded their graveyards: there weren’t enough for their own, and then a whole German settlement supplied the dead. I had to arrange a special cemetery for the Gentiles on the high bank of the Sinichka River (now it was hidden in a pipe). Far from their native land, among gloomy Gothic tombstones and mossy porticos, German musketeers, French hatters, Polish bollards lie. On spring evenings, at dusk, the inconsolable melody of a flute rushes through the dark cemetery park. In the rain, an invisible musician cries with notes until dawn to the sound of iron shackles from the grave of doctor Fyodor Gaaz.

Beria's house

Moscow, st. Malaya Nikitskaya, 28/1, m. Arbatskaya

After midnight, if you stand on the corner of Malaya Nikitskaya and Vspolny Lane, press yourself against the wall and hold your breath, you can hear an invisible car drive up, doors slam and heavy steps are heard. And it will be happiness if the drunken laughter of the actress is heard nearby, and not the groan of the repressed. The chief security officer of the USSR, the master of torture, settled here in 1938 and lived until the death of Stalin and his disgrace in 1953.

From the local windows, Lavrenty Pavlovich looked out for pretty ladies and sent Sarkisov's gloomy assistant after them. Historians have counted more than two hundred citizens raped by the people's commissar. Rumor has it that Beria was shot in the back of the head in his house during his arrest, and employees of the Tunisian embassy, ​​who moved here in the nineties, found a torture chamber in the basement.

Lights over Sofrino

settlement Sofrino, Yaroslavl direction

They fly, and circle, and cut the sky with sharp rays - such different objects under common name UFO. In Sofrino, flying saucers, balloons and other forms have been observed since the 1980s. There were dozens of eyewitnesses, there were even videos that disappeared in the archives of mysterious structures guarding the peace of ordinary citizens. You can see UFOs in the evening, closer to summer, when the air in the village is especially transparent.

Sorcerer's Tower

Moscow, end of Sretenka street, metro station Sukharevskaya

Here in the 16th century there was a border of the city: the capital's huts ended, and then the Troitskaya road went. Here the watchtower was built, at first from wood, and under Peter I from stone, according to all the rules of Italian serfdom: round, with a through passage. Peter's comrade-in-arms, sorcerer Jacob Bruce settled here. From an unprecedented 60-meter height, the alchemist observed the stars through a telescope and melted lead into gold. The sorcerer headed the "Neptune Society" for the study of science and mysticism. And the Muscovites believed that Bruce owned a secret book that opens all the gates and reveals all the treasures, and before his death he walled it up in the tower wall. Later, Stalin ordered to dismantle the tower brick by brick, trying to find the treasure, but the hopes were not justified. Since then, the shadow of a dry old man in a wig has flickered in the gates of Sretenka in the hope that the tower will be rebuilt.

Smerdyache lake

Shatura, walking along the river Polya to the lake

Water mirror ideal round shape- nothing more than a funnel from a meteorite fall with a diameter of 15 m. There was a catastrophe many thousands of years ago, so the old-timers' assertion that the church went under water is nothing more than a fiction. But geological anomalies in these places are in abundance. Podozernye lands emit hydrogen sulfide: hence the unsightly name, and the reddish color of the water, and the lack of fish.

fashion street

Moscow, st. Kuznetsky most

About a hundred or two hundred years ago, Kuznetsky was the most fashionable metropolitan street: dressed-up milliners bustled about here, the carriages of the nobility rumbled and squandered inheritances younger sons. For the losers, the street of salons, shops and casinos turned into a greedy maw, where passers-by were ruthless, the cobblestones were hard, and the bright shop windows were ominous. In the heyday of roulette and whist, there were too many thoughts of suicide here. soon a gray carriage began to drive along Kuznetsky at night, the driver of which offered penniless players a ride for free. No more passengers were seen. In the age of cars and gasoline, you will no longer see a carriage on Kuznetsk, but the Frenchwoman Zhuzhu, the mistress of the patron Savva Morozov, is playing pranks. The newspaper "duck" ruined her: the young lady was hit by a cab when she rushed across the street for a newspaper with a message about the death of her beloved. At midnight, journalists were blocked from going to Kuznetsky.

Miserly with Myasnitskaya

Moscow, st. Myasnitskaya, 17, m. Chistye Prudy

On the site of this nondescript building of pre-revolutionary construction, the house of the Kusovnikov spouses once stood. Rich old people were famous for their exorbitant greed: they lived modestly, did not go to visit, did not start servants. But at night they got into a shabby convertible, a box with banknotes on their knees - and on their way around the city. Once, going to a distant estate, the misers hid the treasure in the janitor's room, where, without their knowledge, the servant lit a fire. The money went up in flames. From the mournful news, the wife immediately died, and the old man has been wandering along Myasnitskaya since then and whispering to passers-by pitifully: "Oh, my money, money!"

death road

Pekhorka village, Lyubertsy-Lytkarino highway

Yes, the road is ridged, bumpy, narrow. But not only because of this, drivers try to drive more slowly here - they would not knock anyone down. They say that at times strange pedestrians cross the highway: either an elderly lady waves her bony hand, or a transparent shadow flickers, or the traffic police inspector glares with burning eyes. It is difficult to say which of this is true, but studies have shown that this place is unclean: there are ancient burials, cracks in the earth's crust, and the magnetic field is "twisting".

Guilty without heads

With. Vozdvizhenskoe, Staro-Yaroslavskoe highway

They say that Princess Sophia, the power-hungry sister of Peter the Great, did not share the state with Prince Khovansky. According to other testimonies - love. Whatever the reason, the result is known: in 1682, Prince Ivan Andreevich and his son were lured to the Trinity Monastery, captured and executed in a nearby village. To this day, offended by the unkind princess, the princes roam the highways and frighten late drivers. Who will be taken to the grave, who - if you're lucky - into a nearby ditch.

Plague Lane

Moscow, Prechistenka, Chertolsky lane, metro station Kropotkinskaya

Once Prechistenka was called Chertoly: this was the name of a deep ravine and a stream that flowed on the site of a habitable street. The ravine - therefore, Chertoroy, the devil dug. Here, the pagans once lived, made sacrifices to Perun. In 1656, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, who traveled along this road to worship icons at the Novodevichy Convent, ordered the bad name to be changed to a pure one. But the holy land did not become: nearby, in the alley, they set up Bozhedomka - a "wretched house", that is, a morgue, to which the deceased poor fellows without a family, without a tribe, were taken. Here, under Stalin, the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands was demolished: dug bags with bones lay around for a long time in Chertolsky Lane. Now a typical Moscow school is on the ashes. But the orphans and visitors did not want to settle down in the Chertolsky graves. Until now, black shadows whisper in the alley at night and dark old women from the local shelter for the poor appear to schoolchildren, which they broke two hundred years ago.

Actor's Ponds

Moscow, Ostankino estate, Telecentre building, m. VDNH

Television lands in the capital are considered harmful due to electromagnetic radiation many antennas. But the power here lurks more ancient and less accessible to understanding. Old Ostankovo ​​was a pagan, demonic place, which is why a cemetery for suicides was built here - hence the name. Later, the Sheremetevs built a manor and a home theater here. Serf actresses lived unhappily: they suffered from consumption, they were flogged with rods, and in the end, many drowned in the local ponds, which they called "actorkins". Now on the bones of drowned women there is a residential skyscraper, and on the ancient graveyard - a small building of the Television Center. They say that an old woman with a stick appears for more than one hundred years before misfortunes and catastrophes: either the death of Countess Sheremeteva will predict, or a fire in the tower.

Our planet is full of secrets and mysteries. It seemed that its surface had already been fully studied by man, and any processes and phenomena occurring on Earth had long been recorded and studied. However, our world hides many more secrets. And some places called " natural anomalies”, are still mysterious not only for ordinary people, but also for scientists.

On the territory of China there is a waterfall, the state of aggregation of water of which is not subject to any laws of physics. AT winter period, when the air temperature drops significantly, the overflowing stream does not freeze even at -30°C. However, contrary to common sense, in the midst of summer, the waterfall freezes.

Nyos and Monoun are two lakes that, at first glance, seem like a corner of paradise. There are picturesque landscapes around, untouched fields, hills that beckon with their appearance. However, all these neighborhoods are absolutely unsuitable for life.

The reason is hidden in the depths of the reservoirs. The fact is that Nyos was formed at the bottom of the crater of the volcano, which still has not completely stopped its activity. Due to the processes taking place underground, the lake emits gas into the atmosphere in a truly huge quantities. Monoun is also a "gas storage", only it gets there through groundwater.

At the end of the 20th century, cases of gas release were recorded near the lakes, which led to many deaths of local residents and all living things in the area.

There is a small reservoir in Kazakhstan, the area of ​​which does not exceed 600 m 2 . But it surprises not with its size, but with geothermal anomalies in natural layers. Regardless of the season, the water in the lake remains icy.

No life forms have been discovered, and attempts to explore natural wonder were unsuccessful - not a single person could hold out under water for more than three minutes, even if he had an oxygen cylinder with him and was dressed in a diving suit. Divers who dived into the lake began to suffocate almost immediately.

In the town of Taos, located in New Mexico, one of the states of America, a strange noise is heard. Its origin is a mystery to the entire scientific community.

Not everyone can hear the buzz. Only 2% of the indigenous population, due to some genetic characteristics, can catch given sound. The "chosen ones" say that the buzz is most reminiscent of the sound that a car makes when it is idling.
