labyrinths strangers had no access to this fortress. have been digging on the site for over twenty years and some of time local college graduates including students of doctors. under the guidance of professionals. look at suppose. i think it's a rib no it looks more like a hip. has been him many times before he'll soon write a scientific paper about. become aware of the fact that nature. on the other hand when i cut into all those cultural layers. i clearly realize that man stands apart because he changes nature to suit his needs . tourists from all over the world where the ancient town once stood.

here used to be street it has a wooden compering people might move freely here. most of the visitors to. much about historical research tracked it instead by the mystical atmosphere generated by over twenty years of excavation work. less. we have some business to attend to that of sorcery enough for now it's summer time for. people with supposed psychic powers and fans of the paranormal have named each of the hills surrounding the ancient landmark one of them is called mountain love another mountain which derives from a russian word meaning to practice witchcraft ha. ha. with energizing exercises those with psychic skills and bio energetics experts tell people how to heal themselves. our hands are our healers

they can do anything and they are the main channels healing deep seeded elements you can easily suppress headaches using energy this is what you do as if you were calming your hair. after the energy generating exercises irina ivanova who believes herself to be psychic measures the growth of the volunteers so-called bio fields along with her husband they use special frames to do it. they move in harmony with the person's energy this is the edge of the person's field sometimes the frames pinpointed sometimes they move toward each other and sometimes they. are. experts on u.f.o.'s and extraordinary phenomena of visiting forests around the village of mt to study natural sources of energy this area is one of the best known hot spots for paranormal activity in russia.

is a local who's made the biggest contribution to the study of. astral matter larry says he's seen more and identified flying objects here than anywhere else. hello there how are you. by design. guys the zone is becoming more active maybe people coming here become more sensitive to its activity anyway they see many unusual things here malaria filmed one of his first encounters with the u.f.o. on video follow experts now refer to him as the one who saw the orange fear. clearly. see him clearly in ten fold increase. larry says he observed such things nearly every day in fact he says he saw were

column of light just days before the u.f.o. experts arrived it isn't that from here it went there it turned into a light spot before it finally disappeared and some think it's a sphere but it's not it's just a source of light. where just see it right here. on drain dmitri decided to use a radiation detector to measure the radioactivity levels where the sphere is supposed to have appeared some time ago the same devices were used in the russian army the monitor registers weak radiation coming from the. huge and the radiation poses no hazard to life none whatsoever because the monitor shows something might have come out of the earth but i don't know what it is. the u.f.o. experts don't yet know exactly what causes the radiation. it would be interesting

to take measurements right after the objects disappearance yeah that's possible we need to measure radiation soon offer an anomaly that will give us a bit of chance of finding something worthwhile. the village of rio two hundred kilometers from you katherine book is another paranormal hotspot in the your rules one of the villages nicholai churkin has been studying u.f.o.'s for fifty years the soviet k.g.b. was suspicious of his work nicholai was question several times and some of his evidence was confiscated but he has been able to preserve most of it. here you can see albums two photo albums with pictures of u.f.o.'s and reports of our expedition. experiences. the soviet u.f.o. specialist says his interest was roused after his first contact with aliens that was when nicholai was only five years old he maintains that he saw reportable to another dimension in the vegetable garden just outside the house where he lived.

i saw a pyramid. it was a white pyramid. and on a day a human approaching from the other side and the vegetation here was quite thick. that was where those potatoes are now. and later i read books by experts. on paranormal events. saying it was entry to a different dimension. after that became a frequent sight in the village of rerouting at least that's what nick says. flying saucer landing in this forest over there. we were driving from a neighboring village. and first i thought it was a shooting star or a satellite but then i clearly saw it was a saucer. says that the object was thirty meters in diameter and two and

a half meters high. at first the locals poked fun at but later. villages found themselves in a similar situation. was no exception. something yes could you tell me about it. well it was a round object and there were different colors on it it hovered for a while. and then began moving slowly away. the psychics healers and shamans meet each summer and share their experiences with one another. every one.

of. these people came here from several towns they first met only a few hours ago but share a common interest a set of exercises helping to promote harmony between man and nature. symbolized the joy of life the color white purity. these people walk around the meadows for hours on end each exercise has a meaning of its own. you touch the earth and communicate with the skies everything in you becomes pure and you yourself can purify the world. of the barrel of. a red

a tree shaman is one of the festival's most important guests those who want to attend sessions sign up well in advance some want to know their future others feel the need to get over divorce what others may be need to finding a spouse. as my aim is to allow people to relax. but it's a combination of relaxation and awareness a stage between slumber and wakefulness when they fall into a trance. tell them what they should do to keep this soul strong. people who practice similar techniques also seek the halo's advice one of them is out a mill boost you can have a coach from kazakstan he's a bio energetics expert he's asked nikolai to exercise what he calls a negative force from an shaman resorted to his favorite method of hypnotizing the patient. performs this type of procedure about ten times a day. or

a meal is pleased with the result he says the negative force has magically disappeared. i felt a great relief there was a sensation of lightness all over me that it felt as if energy was pouring into me and now i'm just trying. u.f.o. experts andre and dmitri wind up their studies in a sighting zone near the village of malibu they decide to talk to the locals as it turns out they're not so mystified by the so-called phenomena said to take place in their area some believe the anomalies are the result of geographic and atmospheric conditions others insist the anomaly is result from tests conducted at an army testing range nearby. but i think ninety percent of what people see here is the result of those tests one way or another after that they work out those

territories as per normal zones and that's it people can explain what goes on here and invent things. that's much easier to do. after that chat with the locals the two u.f.o. experts pitch a tent and make a camp fire they still hope that this area will reveal at least some of its secrets if not on this trip there's always next time.
