We are going to Kalachi, a small and recondite region of Kazakhstan .What happens here has caught everyone's attention, it seems the plot of a science fiction novel, there is no doubt, but its inhabitants, however, live it as an authentic horror movie.

The reason? Imagine that you are immersed in your daily tasks, in your responsibilities and, suddenly, without knowing very well how, you fall asleep.Without more.And this loss of consciousness can last hours or days . Disturbing.

Do you want to know more about the subject?

«My brain went out, I don't remember anymore»

«My brain It went off, I don't remember anymore...» This is what 152 people who have suffered this problem in Kalachi usually explain.They fall asleep suddenly and for no reason, waking up after several hours or days shaken by worried friends or relatives who, for some reason, do not do the same.At least for now.

And no matter what they are doing, drive a car, eat, order a cow as is the case of Marina Felk, showering, going to school or work...The world suddenly closes its switch and all its existence is turned off, suspended in a dreamlike thicket from which they can not wake up.

Imagine it for a few seconds...Can there be something more terrible?

​​However, that is not all.Upon waking they usually suffer the following symptoms :

  • Nausea
  • Mareos
  • Hypertension
  • Fatiga
  • Disorientation
  • Memory loss
  • Visual hallucinations
  • Migranas

One of the fears that these people usually suffer is that they think they have died and that, consequently, they are buried alive.A seemingly irrational but understandable fear at the same time , given the unusual of the case.But, why is this strange phenomenon? What do the experts say? The truth is that there have been more than 20,000 tests and countless tests, medical and scientific analysis of water, land, food...In Kurali there are about 500 inhabitants and since it began This problem on August 28, 2014, is 152 people who have suffered.

It is not narcolepsy, there are no carbon monoxide leaks, nor does anyone ingest «vodka of poor quality» , as some media used to say with some irony.Now there is a theory that many residents of the area defend and it has to do with an old abandoned uranium mine. It is the Krasnogorsk mine, now unused, but that in the past, in the years of splendor of the former Soviet Union, served as food for numerous nuclear power plants.

The mystery of the town where its inhabitants fall asleep without knowing how

Today, that mine opens its tunnels with a mistery mystery, starting from s Us depths winds loaded with poison, radiation and strange odors that most associate already with what is happening.For now, no one dares to give a clear conclusion.The authorities have ordered that the inhabitants of Kalachi leave the town to be relocated in neighboring cities, while specialists from the «Centers for disease and control» from the United States arrive in the region, to find out the origin of this problem.

However, there are some another inhabitant of Kalachi who refuses to leave his home completely.That invisible enemy seems not to overcome for the moment the pride or fear of all his neighbors.Meanwhile, we will be aware of what happens, speculating, drawing our own conclusions.

And now tell us, what is yours? Do you think it should be the effect of that uranium mine ? Do not hesitate to leave us your comments to learn from everyone.And remember, if you liked this article, also discover the mystery of the abandoned nuclear lighthouses of Russia.
