Bashkirtsev's estate "Dacha"

During the day, this place looks quite sad, because it has been abandoned for a very long time: garbage, various inscriptions on the walls, etc. Therefore, as part of a trip to the mystical places of Voronezh and the region in 2021, we arrived there at night (based on rumors "at night the light turns on in an abandoned house by itself").

At night, the atmosphere of the estate is more mysterious: the noise of the city or the noise of the highway does not reach this place, there is no local lighting, so only the rays of our flashlights sometimes picked out fragments of the landscape, creating bizarre shadows, the branches of huge trees creaked in the wind, crows cawed.

We didn't see the poltergeist, although we managed to photograph the "ghost". Already at the exit, I photographed the trees of the park and saw a shadow of a man near one of them. It seemed that a cigarette was smoldering in his hand. We thought it was a local resident and wanted to ask him about the stories and rumors around the estate. They called out to him, but he did not respond, but continued to move his hand with a cigarette. "Maybe with headphones on?" - we thought.

Coming closer, it turned out that it was a bizarre shadow on a tree, and the light of a cigarette was a bright yellow leaf oscillating on a branch. Eh, and in the photo he looked so much like a spirit or a shadow person.
