The mysterious lake Sobolho, where people and animals disappear

A post dedicated to Lake Sobolkho appeared on the official page of the Government of Buryatia in VKontakte. It is located near the village of Domna in the Yeravninsky district.

- The locals shun this place. There are a lot of rumors and legends among the people, how people disappeared without a trace in the lake. The natural object is really unique. The water surface area is small, but in many places it is impossible to measure the depth," the publication says. - Scientists have used various ways to determine the distance to the bottom. If the measurements were successful, then the depth was equal to the height of a high-rise building, which is unusual for small reservoirs.

In most cases, the instruments could not determine the bottom. Researchers believe that there is a whole network of channels under Sobolho, and strong undercurrents could lead to the death of people and animals.

We told about Sobolho in detail last spring. Residents of Yeravna call it the "Bermuda triangle", and "local Loch Ness", and "bottomless", and even "killer lake". All because it is really shrouded in unsolved mysteries. More than one person and more than one animal have become victims of a small mysterious reservoir. It would seem that this happens. But what happens to Sobolho inspires nothing but horror – drowned people are found tens of kilometers from the lake, and at night a mysterious pink glow emanates from it.

More than ten years ago, the history of Sobolho interested scientists of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Experts explain its bottomlessness by the special structure of the earth's crust in this area. There are faults formed due to volcanoes raging centuries ago. Researchers suggest that the bottom is much wider than the lake itself and there are currents that are more like ordinary rivers, but only underground. And these underwater channels connect Sobolho with other reservoirs.

Perhaps this explains one of the main mysteries – why the bodies of drowned people and cow carcasses are found in completely different places. Perhaps we are talking about a whole network of underwater tunnels, caves and even galleries, the number of which can reach dozens or even hundreds. 

Locals recall how in the mid-90s one of the divers managed to get from Sobolho to another lake through an underwater channel. At the same time, he almost got lost among the many underwater roads.
