Malovishersky forest in the Novgorod region marshy in places impassable quagmire.Between the three villages - Gornitskaya, Poddube and Selishchev - is particularly thick bush.It is here that have noticed and "monster forestry."According to eyewitnesses, the forest inhabited by the whole population of humanoids.
Aboriginal population Novgorod edges were Finno-Ugric tribes Tschudi and villages.In the VI century on their lands came the Slavic tribes Krivichy and in the VIII century - a tribe of words.The Finno-Ugric population gradually assimilated.About half-forgotten "white-eyed Chud" in the ancient Novgorod went tales, as some animal-like humans who lived in the lower reaches of the Volkhov in the dense forests of the Deaf.They were called divas and demons.When Orthodox people began to settle in those places, "demons" are gone ...
but is considered by some modern scholars, faced with the country should in remote areas of North-West Russia, perhaps we in the tradition actually was not so much about the pagan Chudhow about ... relict hominids who inhabited those places and in some places, in the opinion of some living to this day.
population density Novgorod edge has always been small.The poet NANekrasov, who settled in the Chudovo Luque (from the word "Chud") in 1871 for his beloved hunting, Turgenev wrote: "The sad side, inhabited by half Korel, poor and extremely wild ...»
now resumed the process of savagery.Villagers leave their homes and go to the city - it is necessary to work, and the village of overgrown grass and forest.That became the "demons" to return to their habitat distant relatives.Whatever it was, but a meeting with the so-called Bigfoot is particularly frequent in the forest Malovishersky Novgorod region.
Malaya Vishera - a town of 12,000 inhabitants, the average number of regional standards, known as a train station on the way from St. Petersburg to Moscow, and surrounding villages, as in the song was sung - "blue, blue Taiga".
Malovishersky marshy forest in some places impassable quagmire.Between the three villages - Gornitskaya, Poddube and Selishchev - is particularly thick bush.It is here that have noticed and "monster forestry."According to eyewitnesses, the forest inhabited by the whole population of humanoids.Detailed evidence of their existence are collected in the period from 1960 to 1980.
first "met" them Poddube resident Oleg Ivanov.He was then a teenager;I liked to go into the woods with his friends on a fishing trip.One day they saw on the paths of human footprints 40 centimeters in length.They began to look for someone who could walk barefoot nearby.Traces have brought to the meadow, where they found the remains of someone's dinner.Here and there were scattered fish bones.After seeing the clearing, the children were about to leave, when suddenly through the gaps foliage seen approaching several creepy creatures.There were four - two "adult" and two "children".Before giving dёru Oleg had time to see that all beings from head to toe was covered with red hair.Of course, the adults do not believe the story of teenagers.
Three years later, Oleg (he was 15) was walking alone on the meadow, when the newly met Bigfoot.They were too close to each other.Seeing the frightened teenager the yeti was frightened and waved his arms, and then quickly disappeared into the high grass.After the meeting, Oleg has not been able to recover, even treated for neurosis.
Since then, Ivanov was not satisfied, and thoroughly carried away by searching for traces of the local hominid.Season searches Oleg Mikhailovich often begins in the spring, as the snow come down.In addition, all cryptozoology know that hominids - pet summer, the winter goes into hibernation.And most importantly - spring on wet ground is easier to detect traces.
«Yeti - animals migrate - says the ranger.- In the Novgorod region it occurs more in Hvoyninsky and Lyubytinsky District (they are located relatively close to Malaya Vishera);time is spent in the neighboring Leningrad region.It feeds mainly on fish, berries, eggs, mushrooms and roots.A bark for him - as a person seeds.We have in them, probably, the three individuals.Avdoshkami call them. "
Why so?They say in the village lived a woman Avdotia Selishchi.Marry her no one would.The country was, with many shortcomings.With all the arguing, with no one agreed.I could not live with the people and went to the forest.I began to live in burrows.Year of living, lived two and then disappeared completely.Some of the hunters saw her with woolly wild man.Send them hairy children.Thus came the name - "avdoshki."
few years ago it was extracted one more fact of the existence of Bigfoot in the forests of Novgorod region.In Terehun tract that lies between Malaya Vishera and Novgorod, the summer of 2003 in the marshes began to notice strange footprints going towards Terehuna.
Petersburg scientist, Doctor of Biological Sciences Valentin Sapunov, one of the few specialists in Russia for the yeti, immediately set out to find."To get in the hole, - said later VBBreathers - we Novgorod University with a student Eugene Zhuravlev had done the hard way.First bus to the village of dying Poddube.Then go through the night impassable swamp.They walked with cords rope.One drowning - the other pulls.Reaching the tract, seen - a few decades there untouched by human hands.However, in spite of man.On some trees, we found at a height of 2.5 meters a strange mark, inflicted something semicircular chisels.None of the known animal of the North-West, do not be.One of the damaged trees we cut down, brought to St. Petersburg. "
These prints chewed on tree - four clear bands of teeth - were very similar to those that a few years ago Sapunoff found in Karelia.Then laboratory tests conducted at the Institute of Genetics, where scientists work, have determined that the distance between the tusks from being 2.3 times greater than that of Homo sapiens.Consequently, the Yeti has to be the size of one and a half times more than we do.
Conclusion specialists - biologists, ecologists, hunters - was unequivocal: the traces left like creature on the physiology and anatomy in the great apes.Apparently, the legend lived on in the Novgorod region zverolyudey are without some foundation.
The following year, VBBreathers again decided to go the same route, inspection and neighboring areas in order to find out if there are any new evidence of Bigfoot, because the locals told that somewhere in the neighborhood can go snow-old man.Judging by the tracks, on his leg is missing one finger.
collectors of mushrooms and berries are also told of two places in the forest where they are attacked by a sense of causeless terror.This circumstance Sapunoff took note and decided to spend the night there necessarily.The fact that the approximation of Bigfoot, the stories of witnesses, often preceded by a sense of panic in humans and animals.Companions on the route St. Petersburg have become trusted friends Cryptozoology: Eugene Zhuravlev and Alexander Miroshnichenko - naturalist and environmental journalist who is familiar with the problem of Bigfoot.In 1958, while still a student, he watched the Pamir 10 minutes through the sights of a sniper rifle snow man, but could not pull the trigger.
«This time - honestly admits VBBreathers - we have come a long and difficult route through the impenetrable jungle, swamps.We saw the remains of dugouts and trenches, dead village.We spent the night in a place where the locals supposedly had a feeling of panic.New evidence of the presence in these places a mysterious creature we have not found.And yet I am not inclined to consider our expedition completely failed.A negative result is also significant for the science.The final point in the study of puzzles like artisanal methods can not deliver.
