Ghost. Russia

While assign to work on a garden plot between the villages (stanitsa) of Gubskaya and Barakayevskaya in the foothills of the Northern Caucasus 8 witnesses including 3 young men ranging from 16 to 18 years of age, 3 young females and a woman had camped for the night at the edge of the forest had built a bonfire and were preparing dinner. The group carried loaded 2-barrel rifles. While the sun fell behind the horizon the three boys including the main witness (reporter) Nikolay Dmitrievich Grachyev went for a walk along the meadow and had approached a deep narrow gully near the forest. There they suddenly heard steps, unlike human steps. They quickly ran back to the camp and armed themselves with the rifles and carrying the bandolier (ammunition belt) the witnesses warned the others to stay behind and ran back to the edge of the forest where they had heard the strange footfalls. As twilight quickly fell the witness spotted a humanoid figure not far from their location coming out of the forest. The strange “man” was more than 2meters in height, and very thin. Floating just above the ground the stranger began to approach the stunned witnesses. One of the witnesses, Volodya Tkachenko who was armed, yelled at the figure to stop and out of fear pulled the trigger. As the shot rang out the floating figure seemed to pick up speed and flew close to the men and near the camp where the others had remained behind quickly vanishing into the darkness. The boys attempted to shoot their rifles again but all their efforts failed, the rifles all malfunctioned. The frightened witnesses could not eat their dinner after the encounter and the next day quickly finished their work and left the area.
