Creepy and unexplained paranormal stories. Scary stories and mystical stories


Russia is rich not only in oil, gas, diamonds, Tchaikovsky, Aivazovsky and Dostoevsky (unlike exhaustible mineral resources, our cultural values will never end). In the vast expanses of our Motherland, a lot of strange things are happening, mysterious and inexplicable, but there's nothing to worry about. On 1/6 of the earth's landmass there is enough room for everyone: aliens, ghosts, prehistoric animals, psychics and supernatural monsters unlike anything else in the world.

1. Meeting of astronauts with a UFO

The pioneers of space exploration had a hard time: the technologies of the beginning of the space age of mankind left much to be desired, so emergency situations arose quite often, like the one that Alexey Leonov encountered, almost ended up in outer space.

But some of the surprises that awaited space pioneers in orbit were not related to the equipment at all. Many Soviet cosmonauts who returned from orbit spoke about unidentified flying objects that appeared near earthly spacecraft, and scientists still cannot explain this phenomenon.

Twice Hero of the Soviet Union, cosmonaut Vladimir Kovalyonok said that during his stay at the Salyut-6 station in 1981, he observed a bright luminous object the size of a finger rapidly encircling the Earth in orbit. Kovalyonok called the crew commander Viktor Savinykh, and he, seeing unusual phenomenon, immediately went for the camera. At this time, the “finger” flashed and split into two objects connected to each other, and then disappeared.

It was never possible to photograph it, but the crew immediately reported the phenomenon to Earth.

Sightings of unknown objects were also repeatedly reported by participants in Mir station missions, as well as employees of the Baikonur Cosmodrome - UFOs appear quite often in its vicinity.

2. Chelyabinsk meteorite

On February 15 this year, residents of Chelyabinsk and surrounding areas settlements observed an extraordinary phenomenon: it entered the Earth's atmosphere a celestial body whose luminosity when falling was 30 times greater than the Sun. As it turned out later, it was a meteorite, although the most different versions phenomenon, right up to application secret weapon or the machinations of aliens (many still do not exclude this possibility).

Exploding in the air, the meteorite split into many parts, the largest of which fell into Lake Chebarkul near Chelyabinsk, and the remaining fragments scattered over a wide area, including some regions of Russia and Kazakhstan. According to NASA, this is the largest space object to fall to Earth since the Tunguska bolide.

The “guest” from space caused quite significant damage to the city: the blast wave broke the glass in many buildings, and about 1,600 people received injuries of varying severity.

The series of “space” adventures for Chelyabinsk residents did not end there: a few weeks after the meteorite fell, on the night of March 20, a huge luminous ball hovered in the sky above the city. It was observed by many townspeople, but there is no exact explanation yet of where the “second Sun” suddenly appeared, especially at night. However, some believe that the ball arose due to the reflection of city lights on specifically located ice crystals in the atmosphere - that night Chelyabinsk was covered with thick cold fog.

3. Sakhalin monster

Remains of an unknown creature found by military personnel Russian army on the coast of Sakhalin Island in September 2006. In terms of the structure of the skull, the monster is somewhat reminiscent of a crocodile, but the rest of the skeleton is completely unlike any other known to science reptile. It also cannot be classified as a fish, and local residents, to whom the soldiers showed the find, they could not identify it as any creature living in these waters. Remains of animal tissue were preserved, and judging by them, it was covered with wool. The corpse was quickly taken over by representatives of the special services, and its further study took place “behind closed doors.”

Now most experts are inclined to believe that these were the remains of some kind of cetacean, according to some versions - a killer whale or a beluga whale, but others object that the creature differs in its skeleton from both of them. An alternative to the “accepted” point of view is that the remains belonged to a prehistoric animal, which were probably still preserved in the depths of the World Ocean.

4. Seeing off the mermaid

Mermaids are one of the main characters of Russian folklore. According to legend, these spirits living in reservoirs are born as a result of the painful death of women and children, and rumor says that meeting a mermaid does not bode well: they often seduce men, luring them into the abyss of a lake or swamp, steal children, They scare animals and generally behave in a manner that is not very decent. According to tradition, in order for the year to be successful and fertile, villagers brought various gifts to the mermaids, sang songs about them and held dances in honor of these restless souls.

Of course, now such beliefs are not nearly as widespread as in the old days, but in some parts of Russia rituals associated with mermaids are still held. The most significant of them is considered the so-called Rusal Week (also known as Trinity Week or Farewell to the Mermaid) - the week preceding Trinity (50th day after Easter).

The main part of the ritual is the making and destruction of a stuffed mermaid, accompanied by fun, music and dancing. During Rusal Week, women do not wash their hair to protect themselves from perfume, and men carry garlic and walnuts with them for the same purpose. Of course, at this time it is strictly forbidden to go into the water - so as not to be dragged away by some bored mermaid.

5. Russian Roswell

The military missile range near the village of Kapustin Yar in the north-west of the Astrakhan region is often found in reports of the most strange and inexplicable incidents. Various UFOs and other curious phenomena are observed here with amazing regularity. Because of the most notorious case of this kind, Kapustin Yar received the nickname Russian Roswell by analogy with the city in the American state of New Mexico, where, according to some assumptions, an alien ship crashed in 1947.

Almost a year after the Roswell incident, on June 19, 1948, a silvery object shaped like a cigar appeared in the sky above Kapustin Yar. On alert, three MiG interceptors were scrambled into the air, and one of them managed to shoot down a UFO. “Cigar” immediately fired a certain beam at the fighter, and it crashed to the ground; unfortunately, the pilot did not have time to eject. A silvery object also fell in the vicinity of Kapustin Yar, and was immediately transported to the test site bunker.

Of course, many have repeatedly questioned this information, but some documents of the State Security Committee, declassified in 1991, indicate that the military more than once saw something above Kapustin Yar that does not yet fit into the framework of modern science.

6. Ninel Kulagina

During the Second World War, then Nina Sergeevna Kulagina served as a radio operator in a tank and participated in the defense Northern capital. As a result of her injury, she was discharged, and after the blockade of Leningrad was lifted, she got married and gave birth to a child.

In the early 1960s, she became famous throughout Soviet Union like Ninel Kulagina - a psychic and the owner of other paranormal abilities. She could heal people with the power of her thoughts, determine color by touching her fingers, see through fabric what was in people's pockets, move objects at a distance, and much more. Her gift was often studied and tested by specialists from various institutions, including secret scientific institutes, and many testified that Ninel was either an extremely clever charlatan or actually possessed anomalous skills.

There is no convincing evidence of the first, although some of the former employees of Soviet research institutes claim that when demonstrating “supernatural” abilities, Kulagina used various tricks and sleight of hand, which was known to the KGB experts investigating her activities.

Until her death in 1990, Ninel Kulagina was considered one of the most powerful psychics of the 20th century, and the inexplicable phenomena associated with her were called the “K-phenomenon.”

7. Dragon from Brosno

Lake Brosno, located in the Tver region, is the deepest freshwater lake in Europe, but it is known throughout the world mainly because of the mysterious creature that local residents believe lives in it.

According to numerous (but, unfortunately, not documented) stories, an animal about five meters long, resembling something like a dragon, was seen in the lake more than once, although almost all observers describe it differently. One of the local legends says that a long time ago, the Tatar-Mongol warriors who made a halt on the shore of the lake were eaten by the “dragon from Brosno”. According to another story, in the middle of Brosno one day an “island” suddenly appeared, which disappeared after some time - it is assumed that it was the back of a huge unknown beast.

Although there is no reliable information about the monster supposedly living in the lake, many agree that some strange things do sometimes happen in Brosno and its environs.

8. Space Defense Forces

Russia has always sought to protect itself from all possible external (and internal) threats, and more recently, the defensive interests of our Motherland also include the security of its space borders. To repel an attack from space in 2001, they were created Space Force, and in 2011, the Space Defense Forces (VKO) were formed on their base.

The tasks of this type of troops include mainly organizing missile defense and controlling the military satellites that coordinate it, although the command is also considering the possibility of aggression from alien races. True, at the beginning of October of this year, answering the question whether the East Kazakhstan region is ready for an alien attack, Sergei Berezhnoy, assistant to the head of the Main Test Space Center named after German Titov, said: “Unfortunately, we are not yet ready to fight extraterrestrial civilizations.” . Let's hope the aliens don't know about this.

9. Ghosts of the Kremlin

There are few places in our country that can compare with the Moscow Kremlin in terms of mystery and the number of ghost stories that are found there. For several centuries it has served as the main citadel of Russian statehood, and, according to legend, the restless souls of the victims of the struggle for it (and with it) still roam the Kremlin corridors and dungeons.

Some say that in the Bell Tower of Ivan the Great you can sometimes hear the crying and lamentations of Ivan the Terrible, atoning for his sins. Others mention that they saw the spirit of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin in the Kremlin, three months before his death, when the leader of the world proletariat was seriously ill and no longer left his residence in Gorki. But the most famous ghost of the Kremlin is, of course, the spirit of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, who appears whenever the country is in for a shock. The ghost smells cold, and sometimes he seems to be trying to say something, perhaps warning the leadership of the state against mistakes.

10. Black bird of Chernobyl

A few days before the infamous accident of the fourth power unit Chernobyl nuclear power plant four station employees reported seeing what appeared to be a huge dark man with wings and glowing red eyes. Most of all, this description is reminiscent of the so-called Mothman - a mysterious creature that allegedly appeared repeatedly in the city of Point Pleasant in the American state of West Virginia.

The Chernobyl plant workers who met the fantastic monster claimed that after the meeting they received several threatening calls and almost everyone began to have vivid, incredibly scary nightmares.

On April 26, the nightmare happened not in the dreams of the employees, but at the station itself, and the amazing stories were forgotten, but only for a short time: while they were putting out the fire that raged after the explosion, survivors of the flames said that they clearly saw a 6-meter black bird that flew out from the clouds of radioactive smoke pouring out of the destroyed fourth block.

11. Well to Hell

In 1984, Soviet geologists launched an ambitious drilling project ultra-deep well on the Kola Peninsula. The main goal was to satisfy scientific research curiosity and test the fundamental possibility of such deep penetration into the thickness of the planet.

According to legend, when the drill reached a depth of about 12 km, the instruments recorded strange sounds coming from the depths and most of all resembling screams and moans. In addition, at great depths, voids were discovered, the temperature in which reached 1100 °C. Some even reported a demon flying out of the well and a flaming "I Win" sign appearing in the sky after eerie screams were heard from a hole in the ground.

All this gave rise to rumors that Soviet scientists had drilled a “well to hell,” but many of the “evidences” do not stand up to scientific criticism: for example, it is documented that the temperature at the lowest point that the drill reached was 220 °C.

Ghost stories and others paranormal stories- these are tens of hundreds of cases that challenge material reality. From time to time we encounter such mystical horror that it is impossible to believe.

Voices in a woman's head.

In 1984, a woman was quietly reading a book while at home. Suddenly a clear voice sounded in her head, speaking to her with the words: Please, do not be afraid. I know how shocking this kind of conversation is for you, but this is the simplest way to communicate. My friend and I worked at Children's Hospital, and we would like to help you. You are sick.

After a series of medical tests, including psychological tests, the patient was diagnosed with a large benign brain tumor. Moreover, the mysterious voice continued to speak to her during medical testing.

After completing the operation to remove the tumor, the patient came to her senses and heard a voice in last time: We were glad to help you. Farewell.

The woman did not report any post-surgical problems and no longer heard the voice. A study of a patient diagnosed with a brain tumor and a mysterious voice in her head was published by the British Medical Journal (BMJ).

Imaginary friend or relative?

My grandfather passed away a few weeks after I was born. You understand, I have never seen what he looks like. When I was 5 years old, I started seeing a man in a rocking chair. My parents thought it was an “imaginary friend” from dreams. But they were increasingly surprised when I told them the details of the communication.

Finally my parents asked me more about this. I told them every detail I could remember and they showed me a photograph of the man. This was my grandfather.

Today I'm 22, and I feel my grandfather somewhere in the background. I remember when I dreamed of graduating high school, and looked at the stands, I saw him next to his parents. I like to think that he is watching over me from wherever he is.

Past life experience?

Several years ago, when my daughter was just over three years old, my husband and I watched a television show about the horror of 9/11. It was the day of the anniversary of the event. My daughter, who was coloring pictures nearby, looked up when a plane appeared on the screen, hitting one of the World War II buildings. shopping center. Suddenly she told us: “I died there.”

Then she just went back to her pictures as if she hadn't said a word. We never talked to her about the concept of death and we never discussed 9/11.

My daughter hasn't talked about it since, but now if something comes on TV about 9/11, she says, "I don't want to watch it."

Skeleton of Hampton Court Palace.

Hampton Court Palace is considered one of the most frequently visited buildings in England. According to their website, the castle is haunted by at least three ghosts.

Skeleton from Hampton Court Palace. England - a world of conservatism, a palace without a ghost - a shack

Catherine Howard - was repeatedly noticed by palace staff and guests. Sybil Penn, a ghost wandering around the palace, is apparently worried that her grave was moved back in 1829.

However, the palace's most notable "occupant" has to be "The Skeleton", a creepy apparition caught on the palace's CCTV cameras in 2003. Palace officials explain on their website:

For three days in a row, palace security personnel were forced to close one of the fire doors... On the first day, CCTV footage showed the doors being thrown wide open with great force, but nothing was visible.

On the second day the same thing happened, but this time she suddenly appeared on the screen in an evening dress and closed the doors. They add: The doors opened again on the third day, but there was no further sign of the ghostly “gatekeeper.”

Could this be the ghost of the most famous resident of Henry VIII's palace? You can watch the video yourself on YouTube.

Papa Doppelganger (double)*

About ten years ago (I was 8 years old at the time), I visited my father at his house. My stepmother was in the kitchen and I was in the family room. We both saw him walking up the stairs in a red flannel shirt and blue jeans. I called my father and followed him. Father turned and looked at me, climbed to the top step and turned the corner.

I called my father again. Suddenly, unexpectedly, from the living room, dad raised his head over the couch and asked what I wanted. He slept on the couch the whole time, but my stepmother and I saw him coming from the living room up the stairs.

It was the most impossible thing I've ever seen. Both my stepmother and I still remember this and talk about it to this day. Moreover, everything happened in good daylight, so it was not some kind of supernatural illusion of the night.

Wilson Hall, Ohio University.

Room 428 in Wilson Hall is permanently locked. To students from Ohio University, the ninth oldest state university USA, no one is allowed to look into the room due to numerous reports of ghosts and dangerous ghostly activity.

Wilson Hall was reportedly built on an Indian burial ground (that always ends badly). Spiritualists claim; the building is located in the center of a pentagram formed by five ancient cemeteries, giving it geographical location additional forces of either security or evil.

In the 1970s, a student died under mysterious circumstances in room 428. Years later, a student used what she perceived as "energy" in the room to practice "astral projection" rituals.

In this practice, the human spirit (or consciousness) is said to leave the body and can travel at will. One day she cut her own wrists.

Since the two deaths occurred here, everyone in the room has reported horrific terrible phenomena at any time of the day or night. Objects flew across the room and crashed against the walls. Students heard voices whispering and even heart-rending screaming, although no one was there.

The door would often open and then close on its own. Even worse, demonic faces appeared right on the wooden door of the room. And although the school changed the door several times, the exhausted, disgusting faces appeared again.

Eventually, the room became too frightening, and the university, fearing that another student death might occur, decided to close the door permanently. This is the only one famous case, when the room is closed due to up to this day.

We are used to believing, or rather, we are convinced that the world around us lives according to established and familiar laws, but is this true?

In 1984, Soviet geologists launched an ambitious project to drill an ultra-deep well on the Kola Peninsula. The main goal was to satisfy scientific research curiosity and test the fundamental possibility of such deep penetration into the thickness of the planet.

In addition, at great depths, voids were discovered, the temperature in which reached 1100 °C. Some even reported a demon flying out of the well and a flaming "I Win" sign appearing in the sky after eerie screams were heard from a hole in the ground.
All this gave rise to rumors that Soviet scientists had drilled a “well to hell,” but many of the “evidences” do not stand up to scientific criticism: for example, it is documented that the temperature at the lowest point that the drill reached was 220 °C.

David Mironovich Guberman
Perhaps, David Mironovich Guberman, one of the authors and managers of the Kola superdeep well project, spoke best about the “well”: “When they ask me about this mysterious story, I don’t know what to answer. On the one hand, stories about the “demon” are bullshit. On the other hand, as an honest scientist, I cannot say that I know what exactly happened here. Indeed, a very strange noise was recorded, then there was an explosion... A few days later, nothing similar was found at the same depth.”

Today, a huge number of people are passionate about the occult. Someone will say that fear has big eyes. Well, what if not? What if this is confirmation that we are not alone, that there is something more? Of course, it looks fun, but only as long as nothing threatens your life. Ghosts, demons, aliens - sound interesting? However, let's see if you have the courage to face such phenomena face to face. It’s one thing to hear a legend or read a story that, of course, may turn out to be true (but most likely not), and it’s a completely different thing when someone you trust swears and swears that incredible or even unreal things surround you. And suddenly you begin to hear rustling noises, you feel eyes on you, as a result of which your night light is on all night, and you try to avoid dark basements. But there are cases when such measures are powerless. Especially for you, we have prepared 25 frightening paranormal events that were witnessed by trustworthy people.

The Incident of the Lincolns' Floating Piano

Nettie Colburn Maynard was Mary Todd Lincoln's closest spiritualist friend. During the next spiritualistic session, a request was made for the “spirits” to play the piano. He lifted himself off the ground and hung there. President Lincoln and Colonel Simon Kase, as they say, immediately straddled the instrument, causing the piano to jump and shake. As a result, Lincoln officially accepted levitation as evidence of "invisible power."

Real ghost photos of Mary Lincoln

After Mary's husband Todd Lincoln died, the widow visited photographer-medium William Mumler and photographed herself. When the film was developed, her late husband stood behind the widow on the photograph. It is inexplicable how the photographer managed to capture a ghost in the frame long before the invention of Photoshop. You can admire this photo card in public library Allen County in Indiana.

New Mexico Police: Special Branch

Carl Romero, a police officer from Española, New Mexico, was on duty that terrible night in 2014. Suddenly he noticed something strange on the monitor. At first it seemed to him that it was probably an insect, but, looking closer, he noticed a blurry humanoid figure looming at the securely guarded entrance to the post. This story took over literally all the local news. Investigators in the case noted that this is not the first time paranormal activity has been recorded at this location.

Bobby Jindal - Former Louisiana Governor or Failed Exorcist?

Bobby Jindal, governor of Louisiana until 2016, wrote that his girlfriend, Susan, was diagnosed with cancer. Soon after this, the woman smelled sulfur everywhere and saw strange pictures. One day, as she and her friends gathered to pray for a woman, Susan began making “strange, guttural noises” and fell to the floor. As Jindal took her hand to help her pray, a strange voice emanated from her and scolded the politician for being secretive about his true feelings for her.

Prince Albert for the Queen. Thanks, John Brown

Two years after Prince Albert's death, Queen Victoria contacted a 13-year-old clairvoyant boy who claimed to have spoken to Albert. A little later he wrote a letter from the prince's hand.

Eventually, young John Brown was hired to take his place. He took up residence at the Queen's residence at her request and acted as an intermediary between Queen Victoria and Albert's ghost for thirty years. Whenever the queen needed to make an important decision, she consulted Albert with the help of John Brown.

The ship seemed to be electrified and emitted blue and yellow colors. There were strange inscriptions engraved on its sides. Sergeant James Penniston touched one of these. He later claimed that he had thus downloaded some kind of binary code directly into his own brain.

At one point during a flyby, the Air Force had to manually reactivate the missiles. Captain Salas said that they were out of action when he and his men noticed an approaching triangular ship, spewing some kind of molten metal. When he reported the incident to his superiors, to his surprise, he was not scolded or laughed at, but rather made clear “that nothing happened.”

Next stop - cemetery

Train maintenance workers and station workers witnessed banging and screaming in the tunnels. It was quite obvious that the train could not pass at this time. The “ghost” appeared precisely when the station was closing. It is significant that “Panteones” means “graveyard” in Spanish.

Devil's Fury

After the fire was reported to the 911 rescue service, the fire brigade immediately went to the call - but that was not the case. The engine of the fire truck failed, although 20 minutes ago it worked perfectly. When firefighters finally reached the house, it was already completely engulfed in flames. The fire spread very quickly and very in a strange way: tongues of flame seemed to fly out of the windows parallel to the ground, and then sharply soared into the heights at an angle of 90 degrees. The ground floor seemed to be swaying. After the fire was stopped, it was discovered that the entire lower floor remained intact, while the rest of the house was burned to the ground. Eyewitnesses say they saw the face of the devil himself in the flames.

Ghost of Montrose

When an RAF biplane crashed in 1913, a government investigation found that the ship's pilot, Lieutenant Desmond Arthur, was at fault for the accident. An earlier theory that the ship was malfunctioning was disproved. After this incident, a figure began to be noticed at the air base, which was identified as the deceased lieutenant. His appearance continued until the editor of an airplane magazine promoted the idea of ​​reopening the investigation into Desmond. In the end, the lieutenant was acquitted, and Desmond's ghost was never seen again.

Another meeting with Lincoln

At a state reception in 1986, President Reagan shared the story of how his dog, Lucky, barked twice in the Lincoln Bedroom, refusing to cross the threshold of the room. In addition, he talked about how his daughter and her husband also witnessed the appearance of Lincoln's ghost in that very room.

It happens that incredible paranormal phenomena occur around us that are difficult to take at face value. And then we may not trust our own eyes, ears or sensations. But if someone who cannot but inspire confidence tells us that something similar happened to them, what should we do then? Should you trust or be skeptical about their words? You decide.
