Many have heard of mirages, perhaps even encountered them. Optical physicists believe that they are not unusual, since their secrets have already been revealed – all but one. Impossible with famous laws of physics explain why mirages can reflect events occurring at a certain distance not only in space, but also in time. 
Photo from open sources To this it remains to add that many peoples legends that after certain spells in allegedly a “flying ancient city” may appear in the sky. Maybe under the influence of these legends famous writer for his prophecies Jonathan Swift described the flying city in Gulliver’s Travels Laputo. A meeting with such an “echo” of the past is not a rare phenomenon. Sounds or visions from the “other world” often disturb us. his appearance. Most often these are human silhouettes, but sometimes buildings also appear, as if fished from another life. So along the old road between the villages of Kirimovo and Ryazan Sergiev Posad district (RF) often could hear voices and the laughter of people, the barking of dogs, the sound of buckets … Such a noise would seem to be ordinary for the village, but in those places there is no housing. Locals consider this place to be bewitched, and old-timers associate it with that according to legend, people once died in this place. Maybe these visions from the past would be considered a kind of ordinary mirages, if sometimes they could not “touch” or even chat with these ghosts. 
Photo from open sources In the book “Spirits and legends of the Wiltshire Territory” it was reported how in the 1930s Mrs. Edna Hagis en route to her girlfriend fell into a severe thunderstorm and was forced to knock on the door a gloomy thatched house. It happened in the desert “Erminestreet” Roman road (Swindon, England). She let her into the house a strange, silent and constantly smiling old man. Most the woman was struck by the amazing silence that reigned in the house. Its walls as if cut off even the sounds of the elements played out outside the window. Through for a moment Mrs. Hagis suddenly reappeared on on the road, she rode a bicycle. At the same time, came to a friend buddies who told me that the house is on the road uninhabited for fifty years. Indeed, soon after Edna herself found an uninhabited wreck on this site with abandoned garden. In the second half of the 20th century in Hattor (Devon, England) such “leprosy” became famous for a small house in the forest. Locals and tourists often noticed among the trees “wonderful a house near which laundry is dried and smoke comes from the chimney. ” The very next day, dumb eyewitnesses at the place of the house could only see the remains of a long destroyed foundation. George Russell, a close friend of the famous poet W.B. Yates, faced with a similar phenomenon at a time when he accidentally appeared among The ruins of an old chapel. According to him, the chapel suddenly acquired his original appearance, and he watched what was happening in her worship service. Haiti’s famous biologist and writer in the 1960s I.T. Sanderson, in his own statement, “visited the street medieval French city. “His car stuck in quagmire, he and his wife and assistant went on a dark Alpine plateau on foot. Suddenly the writer is very clear I saw shadows under the brightly shining moon that cast three-story mansions of various architecture, standing on both sides off the road. Their upper floors hung over a wet cobblestone pavement. The wife saw the same thing, however, as soon as their companion lit street lighter, everything disappeared without a trace. Having discussed what happened, the writer and his wife suggested that they are wonderful way got into old Paris. 
Photo from Open Source Lucky and Laura Gene Daniels from Michigan (USA). In 1973, on a warm May evening, she returned home deserted street. The girl looked at the moon, lowered her eyes and … not recognized the city. A cobblestone street appeared instead of a pavement and sidewalk and thatched roof house. I ran out and started the little dog barking at Laura, the owner tried to calm her, however, the dog did not let up. Involuntary time traveler grabbed the wooden gate, and the old house disappeared. August 10 1901 two young women, Annie Moberly and Elinor Jordan, strolling through the gardens of the Lesser Trianon (Versailles, France), unexpectedly noticed an unusual change in the environment – before them was a different historical era. In this case, one of the women she felt as if in a dream, a state of slumber, she recalled, was depressing. Girls turned to passers-by with questions, but they they simply did not understand their excitement. And then they drew attention to that everyone around us is dressed in costumes from the time of Marie Antoinette. Later, after their equally wonderful and incomprehensible return to native XX century, historians have described this time by descriptions – approximately 1770s. True, they were not found in the old archives. mention of the appearance in XVII! century of two eccentrically dressed ladies. Sometimes people have the opportunity to see entire cities in the sky. In 1684 and in 1908, an unknown appeared in County Sligo (Ireland) to geographers “O’Brazil Island” with a beautiful city and drowning in greenery by fortifications. In the same Ireland, but already in County Cork, three times – in 1776, 1797 and 1801 – residents of Jugal watched over their homes a walled green city … In 18th century famous Swedish philosopher Emmanuel Swedenborg during while walking in Stockholm, I suddenly saw in front of “groves, rivers, palaces and lots of people. “July 18, 1820 the captain of the ship” Baffin ” Scorsby watching the west coast through a telescope Greenland, painted “a huge ancient city.” Afterwards, Of course, it turned out that there was no city in this place at all, but drawings of the unlucky discoverer of the city with majestic obelisks, impressive temples, monuments and castle ruins declared “a figment of the imagination.” In 1840 and 1857, the inhabitants of the island Sandy (Orkney Archipelago) seen in the sky “a distant land with beautiful white buildings – the crystal city of fairy-tale people fin. “And in 1881 and 1888 already over Sweden there was a whole archipelago of unknown islands. In 1887, the famous discoverer Willoughby even managed to photograph in the sky above Alaska is an unknown city. The pictures came out very distinct, so their author was declared … a deceiver, because in the photographs a slightly younger English city of Bristol, located for many thousand kilometers from this place. After a couple of years, a vision repeated, and the local Indians said that in what is not not surprising, since this city is often seen here and earlier, before the arrival of white settlers in Alaska. In 1890 in the spring an unknown also appeared over Ashland (Ohio, USA) town. Opinions of eyewitnesses sharply diverged? some claimed that it one of the nearby cities, others thought they were watching Jerusalem, the third is a non-existent settlement at all. 
Photo from open sources In June 1897 over the Yukon (Alaska) many people saw the city. Then they argued for a long time and finally came to the conclusion that the city appeared in front of them is neither like Toronto nor to Montreal. The general opinion was formulated as follows: it was a city of the past. And on August 2, 1908 for three hours residents of Belliconnell (Ireland) observed aged buildings in the sky in a variety of architectural styles. Already in our time the image of some ancient temple or city often appears in morning hours on the peninsula formed by the bend of the Volga in the region Samara (RF). Inveterate mushroom pickers report domes with turrets, whose location is new every time: on the shore lake, then at a steep cliff, then on a hillside, otherwise they simply peep out of the reservoir. In a word, does not sit in one place the ghost of those temples that may not have been around for hundreds of years. By the way, historians have not found in the local chronicles even a hint of the existence of such structures. But most of all, probably lucky astronaut S. Krichevsky, faced with this phenomenon in the end of April 1982 near the city of Kulebaki Nizhny Novgorod region (RF). He flew inside the ghost town, examining it an abnormal phenomenon from the cockpit of a MiG-23 fighter. Pilot walked on the “interception” of an air target in the clouds. Overboard night, thunderstorm and overcast. Krichevsky went down and suddenly side his vision noticed a strange glow and flickering of obscure objects. The pilot looked with his eyes at the source and causes of unusual glowing rectangles. And here ahead, as if from nowhere, luminous points emerged: “as if rushing through the city at a level high-rise buildings in which all the windows shine. “And they swim at the speed of a fast racing car. Earth is not visible below total darkness. “Such an illusion of a night city lasted about ten minutes. And only when the pilot slightly increased speed, everything disappeared in just a few seconds. Krichevsky again reduced speed and got … into the same tunnel city. Pilot a little more experimented with altitude and speed and came to the conclusion that a ghost town exists only in a certain layer, on a certain speed and altitude. Sorry, take a picture of this amazing Krichevsky phenomenon failed … “Interesting newspaper. World Unknown “№2 2014
