Many years of acquaintance with the testimonies of eyewitnesses who had experience stay inside the so- called “Zhiguli mirages”, involuntarily raises the question – is only the “mirage” inherent property of education certain passages between different spaces – ours and some still others whose location is still unknown? Detailed analysis of messages that we carefully record and keep, no matter how strange they seem at first, gave his results.
There was another reason that prompted us to search for such phenomena in eyewitnesses, at first glance, not related to chronomrage. Our good friend – Tatyana from Siberia I., who came to stay on the banks of the Volga, returned with another walks with the question: “Well, often you have people behind pillars disappear? ”

The reason for the question was a random passerby who was in front of walking woman went behind a lamppost and … did not go out because him. Probably from the outside it looked pretty ridiculous, like Tatyana looked behind the pillar. But where did the man go, she did not understand. During her two-week visit, there were three such “disappearances” in different places of our city.
In general, the number of such “disappearances to nowhere” and “appearances from nowhere” number in the tens. Here are some examples.
Tolyatti, Prospect St. Razin, between 4th and 10th quarters
One of our eyewitnesses named Vadim (name at his request changed) in the middle of a summer day, riding a trolley from Old cities in New. There were very few people, five to six people the whole salon. At the stop “Volga Dawns” a young man entered a trolley bus man, fair-haired, dressed in bright clothes. As usual in in such cases, his clothes aroused a sense of brand new, completely dust free. He sat facing Vadim and for some reason carefully on him looked and smiled slightly. It looked a bit unusual – with why would a young man smile at another young man? But leave aside those thoughts that I think in our time in come first to mind. Looking for a second out the window, Vadim He returned his gaze to the salon. This young man … was gone. The trolleybus was only approaching the Polyclinic stop. Doors Do Not opened. There is nowhere to hide and no one to hide behind. No one in the driver’s cab (naturally, except for the driver) no. The passenger has disappeared. How is he made, only he knows. Gone, that’s all.
Tolyatti, Moskovsky Prospect, territory to the side Volga Automobile Plant
Another time she disappeared … a car. This incident occurred on Moskovsky Prospekt in the part that goes out of town and goes to the factory. At the bus stop were several people, including a woman with full bags and Alexander, who later told us this story. Shifting waiting for transport, Sasha wandered to the edge of the stop and even stepped behind it in the direction of travel transport. The woman with the string bags also did not stand next to the rest. This injustice allowed them to become observers of an unusual case. A trolley bus came to a stop, opened the door. At the back of the trolleybus, two were catching at high speed. cars – a dark “seven” and a bright “nine”. Here they both hid behind a standing trolleybus and should have been right there seem because of him, but … only the dark “seven” appeared. “Nine” did not slow down, did not turn to the side – everything is around It was too well viewed. She just disappeared with a light “clap”.
Volga Automobile Plant
Another such “disappearance” happened in one of the VAZ workshops. The attendant, who was sitting at the control at the entrance to the workshop, drew attention that in front of her a man is located directly on the floor quite decent looking, in brown wool trousers. Having decided clean up, she was headed in his direction, but right in her in front of the man … disappeared. He did not get up and did not leave, but he simply died it’s visible, and that’s it. Did you see it? May be. But then what a dream this factory worker?
She went to work on the Gazelle. When approaching your insert moved from the back seat to the front seat, next to exit. On the same seat on the other side was still a passenger, fair-haired and friendly. Our heroine asked for a driver drive closer to the 8th insert to walk less – she was late. That second woman asked her: “Is this the 8th insert?” -“Yes”. – “Are you going out here?” – “Yes” – “Then, perhaps, I’m here too I’ll go out. ”She also gave the driver money, went out, telling her fellow traveler: “Happily work out!”. Immediately giving money for yourself (without surrender, then eat fast), our informant went right after that woman, deciding to speak with her on the road, but … she wasn’t anywhere else. There were no other people around, no structures, no cars, for with which one could hide.
St. Petersburg (in those years it was also called Leningrad)
We began to look for similar ones in the archives of Russian researchers. And they found a lot of similar examples. Here for example, one of these cases occurred at the end of winter now distant nineteen eighty-one in one of hotels of the city of St. Petersburg. Three employees were on their workers places in the lobby. Suddenly a man appeared in the lobby. He didn’t go from entrance doors and did not go out of the elevator, as everyone does “normal” visitors. The man was heading straight from the middle columns – one of three standing in the center of the hall.
“Girls, where can I call?” he asked loudly. The staff looked at each other, as the hotel was not accepted speak loudly, and tenants usually adhered to this rule. They gave him a phone warning that he was an official, and he uses it as an exception.
– I know everything, but this is an urgent and important matter! I’m a mechanic space ship. We have a breakdown. If I do not find mine helper, we can’t fly away.
For the hotel staff, the situation seemed like a joke until they began to realize the very oddities in the stranger who took the situation beyond reality.
“We were all shocked by the voice of this man,” said one of women present there. – Firstly, it is very loud, like passed through a microphone. Secondly, the voice was without any intonations and emotions – absolutely smooth, as if metallic, reminiscent of the voice of robots from the movies. Words measured separated by pauses. It seemed that before each in a word he was gaining air, as if he had difficulty speaking or he was ill. One of us made a remark to him – say, they say, be quiet. He nodded his head, but continued to speak with the same volume, as if he could not otherwise. Even a group of Finnish tourists, nearby, drew attention to this. ”
The visitor looked like a very ordinary European, only he was dressed it was out of season, too easy, and outside – winter cold. But how did he end up in a hotel? Satisfactory explanation for this not found. The main entrance was controlled by porters who strangers were not allowed. Emergency exits are constantly locked. With parties to the administrative block were also on duty. Yes, no who didn’t get the impression that this man came from the street. It did not blow frost from him, and his whole appearance did not mean that he frozen or cold. From a subsequent conversation, it turned out that the man generally has no idea where he is.
Having received a telephone, a man took out some pieces of paper, dialed a number and began to talk with someone: “It’s me. I need it urgently to meet. Otherwise, we will not have time to repair … Otherwise, we will not take off … “He spoke like that for three or four minutes, and then turned to the hotel staff and literally stunned them the question: “Girls, where am I?” One of the women was indignant: “How is it, where am I? How did you get here if you don’t know where are you? “But her indignation went unanswered. Stranger persistently repeated the question. This time they answered him by saying the name of the hotel. “Where is it?” – after the next outrage one of the employees called the address. – “Is there a subway here?” – “Yes.” – “What is the name of the station?” – “Alexander Square Nevsky. ”
Making an appointment at this metro station, the man hung up, collected all his pieces of paper and thanked the women. To their question, lives whether he is in a hotel, and who he will be, the stranger repeated that he is a spaceship mechanic. Then he took the heavy off the counter, It looks like a metal case, which I put in front of it by telephone, and again introduced those present almost in shock amazed state. He asked: “Excuse me, but how can I get out of here?” One of the employees waved her hand in the direction of the street. Swipe came like once towards the window.
– Right here? the man asked and pointed to the window.
“No, go through the door!” – she showed him more accurate way.
– And how to get to the subway?
They explained the way to him. The man headed for the door, but the women did not could resist curiosity and not trace how he emerges from building. And it turned out that curiosity brought results. Here is a man ended up in the gap between the glass wall and the door, here this man must have walked past the window (just not there was another way) … but this did not happen. He dissapeared.
Could it be crazy? This question was asked by women, trying to understand who they saw. However, the stranger’s behavior is by no means not talking about some kind of mental abnormality. Was not visitor and drunk All hotel employees participating in this incident categorically deny this. And, excuse me, the way its appearance (as well as the way of extinction) is somewhat “unlike” to the usual way of moving in space. So who is he was there? The mechanic of the spaceship. In the absence, as they say, evidence remains to take his word for it.

And again – Tolyatti: the road from the dam to the square before River port
For this story, the name “Five in brown. “That’s what a woman told us in the late 70s riding a bus from Zhigulevsk to Togliatti. Sowing at the ultimate stop, she noticed that next to the bus walks some pious grandmother is reading the Bible. The bus is about to drive off, and the granny, crossing the door, went in and sat down next to her. Passengers stole up funny, the boys sorted out the relationship, so there was a slight noise in the bus.
Before the “tenth pillar” the woman glanced out the window. On the the stop was empty, only two or three fishermen and their catch. When after a couple of moments the bus opened the door, a man came in eight. Where did they come from? After all, there was just nobody … Five of those who entered looked somehow “wrong.” Men were completely equally dressed: brown cloak, brown suit, brown tie, beige shirt, suede cap. “Doctor’s” beard equally framed by thin, completely impassive faces – neither a hint of emotion. Only eyes shone with amazing power, so as if those who entered knew and understood much more than those sitting on the bus people. There was a woman in this group, very similar to her satellites, and also dressed in brown. True, with a common brown the color of her clothes was sharply dissonant instead of a scarf.
Everything would be alright if the faces of men were not absolutely, until the smallest details are the same, as if they took one negative and made some photos with him. These five stood around back to back, apparently, to have control of everything surrounding territory. Granny began to fuss, began to push the neighbor, they say, move in, let them sit down. There was nowhere to move, but grandma still grumbled: “Oh, how evil you are!” One of the “brown ones” without looking, said coldly, “She is worse.”
Let’s go further. The cheerful hubbub in the cabin subsided, even the boys have stopped. Perforce, the woman continued to watch the strange passengers. They did not speak among themselves, only looked at each other, and the observer was absolutely sure that they were talking telepathically (it would seem, from where the simple person in the late 70’s years to know about telepathy, however …).
We arrived at the river port. “Browns” took to the square. Past the bus, still standing at the stop, drove the oncoming bus. It took 3-4 seconds. When the view was free, no one was in the square did not have. There were no (at that time) buildings near which one could hide, neither the car stopped nor trolleybuses on which it would be possible to leave.
Here is a story. What could it be? Let’s try to sort out explanation options. Option one is hallucination. Then grandma with Bible hallucinated at the same time with this woman?
Option two – a rare case with simultaneous travel five identical twins who for Hochma are completely dressed equally. Just where did they disappear in the square near Riverport?
The third option is still not people. And there is also questions: who are they? What did they do on the Kopylovo peninsula? What for went to the Komsomolsky district? And again – where did they go?
