Where is the light over the graves. Experts will study the mysterious glow in the cemeteries (7 photos)

The leadership of the American Association for the Study of the Supernatural has established a foundation whose sole purpose will be to study the phenomenon of lights over graves. In recent years, this strange phenomenon has been increasingly observed in cemeteries around the globe. People of official science have long "found" a logical explanation for the anomalous glow, but numerous experiments do not confirm the hypothesis of scientists.

From time immemorial, the unpredictable and inexplicable appearance of the so-called demonic lights has caused superstition, complicating the scientific study of these anomalies. Wandering fires gave rise to a great many legends and traditions.

Centuries ago, travelers told of how, having lost their way in the swamps, they found a safe way thanks to a blue glow moving low above the ground. Other travelers claimed that the mysterious lights, on the contrary, tried to lead them into deadly swamps. For this reason, the attitude towards this phenomenon has always been twofold and very wary. It is still unknown why the wandering fires are trying to save some people, while others are trying to bring death.

The color of the lights is pale blue, dull yellow, greenish and transparent white. Basically, an ominous glow appears at night in cemeteries and swamps, less often it can be observed in the fields. Sometimes it does not look like a candle flame, and sometimes it resembles a ball in its shape. Lights, as a rule, burn at the height of a raised human hand and spontaneously move from side to side.

Moreover, many who have witnessed this phenomenon claim that the wandering lights move as if endowed with consciousness. They can float in the air strictly above the path, cross the river on the bridge, fly into the cemetery without fail through the gate ...

European legends say that demonic fires represent the souls of children, drowned and unfortunate people who died a violent death. It is believed that these spirits, stuck between the world of the living and the world of the dead, try to lure people into bogs or other dangerous places. The British believe that will-o'-the-wisps are harbingers of death. If they were seen at the patient's house, it meant that he would soon die.

Our ancestors also believed that we are talking about the spirits of the dead, especially if the glow appears over the grave. Slavic legends say that special vigilance should be exercised after midnight: they say, at this time the spirits are especially active. Slavic myths also say that wandering lights can point to places where treasures are buried, but it is better not to touch the treasures hidden there, since they are cursed and can only bring misfortune to a person.

Notable sightings of cemetery lights

In the eighteenth century, a Scottish priest told a startling story. The house of this confessor was not far from the church cemetery. One dank autumn night, the altar attendant went outside and suddenly noticed a luminous dot outside the churchyard fence. Our hero thought that grave robbers came to the cemetery with a lantern. The shepherd decided to discreetly follow the alleged robbers.

When the priest carefully approached the cemetery, he was surprised to find that there were no thieves with a lantern there, and a yellowish light the size of a fist hovered in the air by itself. Then this light suddenly turned aside, left the cemetery and flew through the woods to one of the local farms. The intrigued confessor followed him. Firepaw approached the farm, circled around it, and then went back to the cemetery and disappeared into the crypt there.

A day later, the owner of this farm invited the shepherd to bury his daughter, who died of scarlet fever. The altar attendant, who reasonably connected this event with a mysterious wandering light, asked the cemetery watchman who owns the aforementioned crypt. As you might guess, it was the family of the farmer whose child died who turned out to be its owners. It turns out that the spirit of her ancestor came for the sick girl.

In the Australian state of Queensland, you can find the Alexandria railway station, which has a bad reputation among locals and travelers. So, in 1940, a local resident, driving here by car past an abandoned cemetery, saw a lot of luminous bluish-green balls above the rickety crosses. The road passed very close to the churchyard, and when the car approached it, all the balls suddenly flew at once towards the car. The frightened driver stepped on the gas, but the lights almost kept up. Only when the car approached the nearest town of Baulia did the pursuers fall behind.

In our country, a similar phenomenon also takes place. For example, the St. Petersburg Malookkhtinsky cemetery, founded in the seventeenth century and closed for burials six decades ago, is known for the fact that the air here glows at night over old graves. And the Igumensky cemetery on the Russian island of Valaam attracts mysticism lovers by the fact that on especially dark nights you can see a bright green radiant light streaming from the ground and rising to a meter height.

What are the American specialists planning to do?

According to the official scientific version, wandering fires are nothing more than phosphorus compounds formed underground as a result of rotting corpses, seeping out and burning up when they come into contact with air.

However, some researchers have experimentally proved that such a theory is incorrect. The gas emitted by rotting remains and plants simply cannot break through the two-meter thickness of the earth. Scientists specifically took containers with phosphorescent gas and buried them in the ground. Even if the vessel passed gas abundantly, no glow above the ground was observed, and when a lit match was brought to the air, nothing happened.

And how can demonic lights move sideways over vast distances, continuing to burn just as brightly all this time? And then still clearly possess consciousness?

American researchers of paranormal phenomena intend to find a quiet cemetery where wandering lights appear most often, and install the most modern and expensive equipment there, which will allow the phenomenon to be captured in the most volume and prove its mystical nature. And perhaps understand something else ...

The American Association for the Study of Anomalous Phenomena has established a foundation that will study the phenomenon of glow over graves. Recently, such phenomena have been observed more and more often, and in different parts of the globe.

So, a mysterious phenomenon has been observed near the town of Asheville (South Carolina) for many years now. It was called "Brown Mountain Lights". The mysterious glow on the mountainside was seen by hundreds of people. David Mull, who lives a few miles away, has recorded his sightings since the 1980s, and has also collected information about the phenomenon from other eyewitnesses.

In November 2000, a research team led by Joshua Warren managed to capture the phenomenon on video. The survey was conducted in the area of ​​Highway 181 north of Morganton. The shots taken with the infrared camera clearly show luminous spherical objects. Here they appear, here they arrange a "dance" around the mountain slope, and then, gathering in an ordered chain, they move to the top of the mountain. Very similar to regular UFOs...

Meanwhile, David Mull and other observers believe that the spherical lights on the videotape have nothing to do with the descriptions of previous eyewitnesses. According to the testimony of the latter, the phenomenon was simply spots of flickering light at the foot of the mountain. There was even an assumption that Warren's video was nothing but a fake ...

By the way, the Fires of Brown Mountain are mentioned in the myths of the Cherokee Indians. According to them, this phenomenon has been seen here since time immemorial. The lights are the souls of warriors who died on the mountain during the battle between the tribes of the aborigines, and now they are wandering, restless, and cannot find peace ... And some legends say that these are torches in the hands of the ghosts of Indian girls mourning for their murdered suitors …

Thanks to these legends, the Lights of the Brown Mountain have become an integral part of modern folklore. In the 1960s, a song was written that is called "The Legend of the Lights of Brown Mountain". In addition, one of the last films of the X-Files series is dedicated to the phenomenon.

At the Arlington Cemetery in Washington, during the month, greenish glows were recorded three times over military graves. At the grave of the Fiura family in Augusta (USA, Georgia), one of the tombstones emits a greenish light every night. It always happens at the same time. It turned out that the last of the Fiura family named Josephine, who died in 1899, poisoned her two brothers and sister and committed suicide ...

At the Radi cemetery in the city of Tartu (Estonia), a glow was repeatedly observed over the mass grave of Soviet soldiers. Janis Perkman, head of the local Club of Unknown Lovers, saw it with his own eyes. But when the researchers installed video equipment, the camera did not record anything - there was not enough sensitivity.

Similar phenomena take place in Russia. Thus, multiple facts of glow over the graves were recorded at the Malookkhtinsky cemetery in St. Petersburg, founded in the 17th century and closed for burials about 60 years ago. Perhaps the reason is the Sabbaths that Satanists regularly arrange here. Strange phenomena are also associated with the grave of actor Alexander Abdulov, who died in January 2008. On the night before the ninth day after his death, a strange waving cloud was captured over the grave mound. And now a mysterious glow can be observed on frosty nights.

At the Igumensky cemetery (Valaam Island) on dark nights one can observe a radiant light green light, which seems to be streaming from the ground, rising to a small - up to a meter - height. Sometimes he wanders around the cemetery in the form of a light, shapeless spot. For a long time, they tried to explain the phenomenon of glow over the graves by the fact that phosphorus compounds are released during decomposition.

However, scientists have proven that the phosphorescent light from the remains cannot penetrate the earth (generally, the depth of graves is at least two meters). Many experiments were carried out, during which a wooden box with a large amount of phosphorus was buried underground. But there was no light above. So we still have to lean in favor of the irrational version - thus, they say, the dead make themselves felt ...
