"Round, about 200 250 meters, Paul brings the horror: on bare soil seen some where the bones and carcass taiga animals and even birds. And overhanging branches over the clearing of trees were char as close to the fire. Polyana was very clean, devoid of whatsoever no vegetation. Dogs also visited on the "Ferris Cemetery, stopped there, had become sluggish and soon podohli" - this is an excerpt from a letter Michael Panova from the village of Ust Cova Kezhemskogo district of Krasnoyarsk region. The author conveyed that heard before the war from a skilled hunter.
It was first widely alerted about the mysterious phenomenon, later received the title of "Ferris Cemetery. Those places that would purposely located relatively near to where the terrible Tunguska catastrophe ...
So I Kezhme - an old Russian village on the shores of majestic in the field of Angara told a journalist. Main village street runs along the coast to three kilometers. For the Church Club - empty bookstore, and even more wooden bridge over Kezhemku, which then flows into the Angara. Then the road turns to the taiga. Well, go, do not pass me the rural executive committee, local government, which is obliged to know everything. A few minutes later I knocked on the door with a sign "The President of the Executive Committee Nikolay N. Vereshchagin.
The owner of the Cabinet is chosen from the table, zhmet my hand and offers available. I immediately begin to:
- It may be that you seem trifling interesting topic, but it worries many people. Where in your region, they say, there is a place which is called the "devil's graveyard" or sometimes "killed the place." Do you know about this? Vereschagin confidently nodded.
He got up, walked to the window and looked thoughtfully at the Angara, on the river behind the middle of a green island, where паслись who knows how to move the cows there.
- Because I was born in these places - away from the contemplation of executive chairman. - And, of course, the history of this I know. This place is in the taiga. Where then lie in wait near the river, which flows into the Angara. Sam I am "fucking meadow" has not seen, but many times have heard the stories of those who hunted nearby.
According to Vereshchagin, for the first time about the "loss of place" to learn in Kezhme in the late 30's. The old hunter - mother grandfather neighbor Nikolai Nikolaevich certain Tamara S. Simutinoy - as a mother told about the mysterious event that happened to him in the taiga in the River Cove and its tributaries Kakambare ... The winter Rozhkova, to blank out a place for many miles from the last at Cove Karamysheva village, and took the bull disappeared. As he was there? It turns out that local people in the past, not afraid to walk through the taiga and even driven them to trails managed outrun cattle. Run in those places so-called Chervyansky path - forest roads, which could escape to the north to the Angara river and next to the upper Lena River. Siberians are often difficult to drive the herd this way, delivering it for sale in the mines.
Summer 1938, issued an unusually dry. Riverbed many boreal rivers in such extreme heat instantly peresyhayut and herders, thereby reducing the path, often drive their cattle directly on the rocks. Reached in this way until the winter hut, shepherds staying for the night, and let the cattle graze. It is clear: far from home do not leave pet - afraid. And when the morning the shepherds rushed to whip in a herd, a bull missed. Obsharili coastal thicket, a little deeper into the wild taiga. And suddenly I saw something terrible - a black, as if scorched round the meadow and in it a dead bull. His skin was singed. Dogs in the form of carrion zarychali, but the clearing did not go.
Witnesses did not tell the grandfather that was next. Decide whether they walk in the cursed circle? Most likely, rushed headlong out. Then, in the stories of the old hunter, a spot was small, with a twelve and fifteen meters ...
But to know whether the owner winter hut, where to look for a "devil meadow"? He said, he knew. Who took it somewhere else? Perhaps, who is from the local hunters want to check this incredible story?
- Probably the old fables, became interested in only one man - a local agronomist. He first went to the "Ferris Cemetery. Better to ask about this my friend, the correspondent of the regional newspaper. He wanted this agronomist, and even found the old file which is his true story.
Remember journalists Shakhova I said before leaving:
- And you, Nikolai Nikolaevich, believe in "Ferris Cemetery? Not invented there, from the very beginning of the story?
- Why did not believe? But I am, however, did not find it. When hunting in the region to find the way to winter, it was difficult. Mysterious polyana on stories of the deceased prior to the outbreak of war winter hut owner, was on Karamysheva forty miles in approximately the same number you had to go to a small forest lake, which is also about much talked. And indeed, some who are healing from their sores. How to get to Karamysheva? This village, count, have not. Nobody lives there now. The last time I was there ten years ago, or even more. We lived there for two vzdymschika - seasonal collecting sap.
Shakhova home I have not caught, he soon found me in the hotel - one building neatly. Boris, as it should be a journalist, was aware of everything. In Kezhemskom area he lived more than fifteen years, and he hails from St. Petersburg. Pro Ferris Cemetery himself had not time to write in the local rayonke and thereby contribute to the revival of interest in the forgotten phenomenon, never received his explanation, he was one of the organizers of expeditions to the mysterious region, which in recent years, it turns out there were several .
- Fields that we did not find - let out Boris contritely. - Perhaps there are not searched. Oldman, who saw "Ferris Cemetery with his own eyes, all poumirali ... In our local press reported this fact appeared in 1940. The publication I am looking for a long time.
Binder local newspaper, it was then known as the "collective farmer" in Kezhme, of course, not preserved. We had to go to Moscow and in storage porytsya Lenin Library. And this is, you know, reprinted in the local newspaper. In an old article dealt with the agronomists Valentina S. Salyagine. The man on the course of their work is often the most remote corners of taiga area. I had to get up to Karamysheva there and then he heard about "Ferris Cemetery. It told the story himself master winter hut, which is called the meadow "progalyznoy.
"The mountain seemed a little dark lysina - both reported to have the words Salyagina war reporter from Kezhmy. - Ground for it is really black, quicksand. There was no vegetation. The naked land laid gently Ryabchikov and fresh green twigs. After a while, learned back . At the slightest touch needles fall off the branches. hazel grouse outwardly unchanged. In the opening innards had reddish hue, as it were burnt. In short find some of the places in the body becomes what is a strange pain. "
It was also reported that Salyaginu once again have to go to the same mysterious place. The picture was the same. The compass in this place if it came in a strong oscillation.
The next summer, reported in this article is going to organize a local ethnographer hike (posovremennomu - expedition), but were interrupted by war. And where podevalsya Salyagin?
Old remember this and say that before the war where he is gone. His fate was unable to learn.
From the analysis of the stories of eyewitnesses, one might say, began to prepare today's expeditions to the mysterious place. Soon, the path went Salyagina search group. They are mainly composed of local gidrostroiteley. And then they were joined by enthusiastic mystery of Tungus meteorite scientists from different cities.
There are reports of the phenomenon, the existence of which was difficult to confirm, and in the central press. This is after the expedition began to prepare a solid.
Organizer gidrostroiteley was deputy chief surveyor trust Boguchangesstroy Pavel Smirnov. This is the first time it may be passed along to lie in wait in winter to ski, but never found the "devil's graveyard". Later, he met with the researcher, who gave his explanation of countries show disappeared agronomist. This Research Institute of Applied Physics, Tashkent University, Alexander Simonov. Do not know, he claimed, on the emotional kezhemtsev enigma "burned field, he came to Priangarye to validate your hypothesis about the actual place of the fall, has not found Tungus meteorite. Simonov seriously enjoyed astronomy and independently carried out calculations according to which the outer body, upavshee on Tungus plateau, looking for and continue to seek still not where you want. The epicenter of the explosion, the explosion force equal a medium-sized atomic bombs, was Podkamennaya Tunguska River area, near the village of Vanavara, which is now the center of a neighboring district with Kezhemskim Vanavarskogo Evenki National District (Krasnoyarsk Territory). Simonov believed that the explosion of a meteorite, but not on the ground, and 'in its atmosphere. Shock wave outer body was dropped on hundreds of kilometers away. According to the scientist came out that the meteorite fell to the taiga where is near the Angara river, in Kezhemskom area. It was formed in the taiga forest felling, but to him, the distance from home, no one drew attention. Simonov looked meteorite near Kezhmy in chetyrehstah kilometers from the place of most expeditions. And not hard to imagine that the story of "burnt meadow" it is linked to the Tungus catastrophe. Simonov suggested that the "footprint" of fallen meteorite, which went deep into the earth. Hypothesis and unexplainable phenomenon of the same, and recently acquired an unexpected and attractive interpretation.
The newspaper "The Soviet Priangarye in 80 years is quite elaborated on several expeditions, went from village to Kodinsky River Cove, which was organized jointly by Smirnov and Simonov. In 1988, their expedition was well equipped. Simonov brought with them devices for high-frequency magnetic measurements. Smirnov formed several search teams perebroshennyh by helicopter deep into the taiga.
Such a magnitude would not have been possible without the help of producers of forest plant Kezhmales. His leadership has provided a helicopter to the search engines, would attract the interest of specialists to the taiga Deshembipskomu Lake, which was in the area of logging, and most importantly - save that opened in the taiga gluhomani amazingly beautiful corner.
With over a large area over Kovoy greenish electronic screens catcher not recorded bursts of electromagnetic radiation, as eagerly awaited expedition members. At the same time, taiga scour surface groups, but they also do the search has not been encouraging. During the last detour devices suddenly responded and observed a long-awaited burst of magnetic activity, just over a river tributary to lie in wait Kakambaroy ...
Immediately radio contact with the group, located to the place closest. In practice nothing strange here is not observed: the usual hilly terrain with high-pines and babbling brooks. Allocated only one hill. From light compass pointed in a different direction, the magnetic meridian with the movements of a few steps "flows" at 30 40 degrees to the side. Specialists geologists have confirmed that found a pronounced magnetic anomaly. However, as they said then physics, it was magnetostatic typical manifestation of the magnetic field, rather than magnitodinamicheskoe that would have confirmed the original hypothesis Simonová. But the background radiation has been slightly higher.
And this time, did not find convincing evidence of these days' loss of place. "
Nevertheless, in the upper streams and Deer Taktikan one of the search group came across an arcane field, which cost the animal trails, but people felt there zhutkovatye feelings. The trees around such places were covered emerods. However, a detailed survey the meadow with the help of devices and did not have ...
- "The loss of a place" to find thus far - divorced Shakhov hands. - A riddle remained. Although, I think, can be easier to explain the mystery ... but still interesting to once again go to her search.
