Ghost. Russia

Reports of manifestations of otherworldly forces can be treated in different ways. But almost everyone who had a chance to encounter such a phenomenon perceived it only as proof of the existence of life after death...

- One summer, our neighbor in the country village Anatoly Ivanovich died suddenly of a heart attack, - says Tamara K., a housewife from Belgorod. - He lived alone, relatives rarely came to him. Our plots were nearby, so he probably communicated with us more often than with other neighbors. He liked to sit on our veranda, treated our daughter, Lenochka, with sweets and nuts. She had just turned eleven at that time, and, of course, we did not tell her about the death of a neighbor. They said he had left.

And now - three or four days have passed, Lenochka tells us: "And Uncle Tolya, it turns out, did not leave. Last night he came to me, treated me to sweets."

My husband and I decided that my daughter had a fever. Measured - no, it's fine. And at night I heard footsteps and a rustle in Lenin's room. I went there and saw: my daughter in her panties goes out on the veranda, from there - into the yard. All pale, staring in front of her and the dog is walking faster and faster, almost running. I rushed to call my husband.

 

Do you know where we caught up with our girl? In the cemetery! 

She was already approaching the fresh grave of our neighbor, although she did not know the way to it. We screamed, and then Lenochka fell unconscious right on the grave. By the time they brought her to the village, by the time the ambulance arrived, she had already stopped breathing. Doctors barely pumped her out. She then spent a month in the hospital. The doctor says it was sleepwalking, but my husband and I don't believe it. With Lena, this has never happened - neither before this incident, nor after.

Lena remembered the events of that night vaguely. She said that before that, Uncle Tolya came to her two nights in a row, talked affectionately, called her to him, treated her with sweets. Only his sweets were somehow tasteless. And on the night in question, he was especially persistent: he smiled, hugged, persuaded to go with him, promised that Lenochka would like it with him. 

The girl doesn't remember anything further - it's as if she fell asleep and woke up already in the hospital. We talked about it in the village with the old ladies. Those, when they found out that a neighbor was buried without a funeral service, were advised to order a memorial service. So we did. Since then, Lena's neighbor has stopped imagining things. But we didn't go to the dacha anymore, and then we sold it.
