Residents of the Karelian village of Shchuknavolok have long been agitated creature that settled in the nearby pond Vedlozero. To tell the history of this phenomenon was agreed by the famous Karelian ethnographer, writer and traveler Aleksey POPOV. – Alexey, with what began the story of the appearance of a strange creature in the lake? – You will laugh, but it all started with a UFO. More precisely, with a cylindrical object, which is dank in the fall of 1928, arriving from nowhere, crashed into Vedlozero. Usually things like that happen without witnesses, but this time an unusual phenomenon observed fifty residents of the villages Schuknavolok and Vedlozero. – since more than eighty-five years have passed. How did you hear about this incident? – In fact, the events of those years became known thanks to the recollections of a local resident, Fedor Petrovich Egorov, with whom I had a chance to communicate in my youth. That year to him it was only nine years old, but the memory clearly preserved everything details of an amazing event. I read you an excerpt from his memoirs: “The incident became known to the NKVD, and practically immediately a special group arrived in Schuknavolok. Chekists cordoned off area of incident. Therefore, everything was kept in the strictest confidence: times you yourself know what … Techniques to properly to inspect the bottom of the lake, let alone raise an object from the water, not It was. It was only known that he lies at about seventy centimeters from the surface of the lake – the boys swam in there, and the fishermen stood on it, taking off the nets. “- Wasn’t that classic plate? – No, it was a metal cylinder! An eyewitness said that on the evening of November 15, he appeared from behind a forest huge, the size of a rich peasant house, smooth cylinder the correct form. He flew over the villagers silently and at a very low speed. Vedlozero by that time was already covered with ice. The object broke ice and fell into the water opposite Shchuknavolok. Rose the wave demolished part of a nearby islet. Depth of the lake in this spot seven to eight meters, and the fallen object just did not stick out above the water. Because of this, the locals had to move the fish I catch in another place – the nets clung to the cylinder. – after Did something unusual happen in these places? – FROM cylinder has just begun! Five years later, in the village of Shchuknavolok incomprehensible things began to happen. For example, in 1933 on a strange gelatinous rain poured over the village. On the advice of a local healers residents collected it in bottles and used as medical ointment. It was said that during the war years this medicine helped heal the most severe wounds. Around 1937 on the water of Vedlozero, next to the island behind which the object fell, from time began to appear multicolored luminous circles. Sometimes they pulsed, sometimes revolving around an invisible center. But the most surprising that the appearance of these circles affected the work TVs and radio – strong interference occurred. – All this is very interesting, but what does the goblin or the water one talk about eyewitnesses? – The fact is that starting from the same 1933, local residents began to meet on the shore of the lake a strange creature meter growth – thin, with a large head. His body and arms were disproportionately long, legs, on the contrary, are short. The vestment, as described, resembled a tight-fitting jumpsuit. The creature usually sat quietly on the shore. Local first the children threw stones at him, then they got used to it. Moreover, the observation this strange creature continues to this day! – And why goof something? It is rather a watery one. – The name appeared with a light hands of members of the expedition of the Leningrad Scientific Association “Cryptobiology” who conducted their research in the Vedlozero region in 1990. Then they searched for the bigfoot, and found goof. According to cryptobiologists, eyewitnesses on the Karelian Isthmus regularly saw three-meter creatures. Having classified everything observations, scientists concluded that in front of them a description “caveman”. Or Bigfoot, as he is called in popular science literature. In Slavic folklore, a creature with such “characteristics” was called a devil. Scientists noted that whenever in the north-west of the country they observed snow man, he appeared precisely from the territory of Karelia!

Just shortly before the mentioned expedition, the inhabitants of one from the villages they saw the notorious yeti on the ice of Pryazhinsky Lake. After examining the Yarn, scientists reached the Vedlozero, where they I joined. However, that time to meet a mysterious creature failed. – When did you meet Yegorka? – you Do you know his nickname? Yes, really locals call him Egorka. I don’t know why. And I saw him in the autumn of that year. At first, eight tracks were discovered on the slope of the sand pit, hypothetically owned by the Bigfoot. When we examined the vicinity of the quarry, then found Egor’s lying with cub. It was a rare success, because we found a whole family of snowy people. Our find was evidence that their population multiplies! – I would like to return to the UFO. In recent years are the plates watching? – Of course! In April 2008, it happened Another observation of a flying object. Witnesses, all as one, talked about a large luminous ball that moved around to the firmament, leaving a winding trace. Set “identity” the celestial guest failed – either a meteorite or a terrestrial rocket, but maybe an alien ship. Residents of several villages at once, located around Vedlozero, a flying body was observed, which It was much larger and brighter than ordinary shooting stars. Event impressed people so much that they reported about him to the local rescue service. This is how a luminous object was described one of the eyewitnesses: “I saw a bright ball flying, and I stretched after it white trace, two flashes flashed, and the ball disappeared. I regretted that I didn’t have a camera with me, the sight was amazing beauty! Maybe it was some kind of celestial body, but I think that, most likely, something artificial. “- In your opinion, creature living on the shores of Vedlozero, you can catch? – something a certain guarantee is difficult, but there are such plans! Especially today, when the habitats of these creatures – both on Vedlozero and near the village of Yarn. Interviewed Dmitry SOKOLOV
