An outbreak of a fire poltergeist occurred in the village of Butor (Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic). Initially, the main source of information about this case was publications on the Internet and a local television report. But last week, the Kishinev-Kosmopoisk group, together with the DTV channel, managed to directly visit the site of the fire events in the village of Butor. Thus, we have the opportunity to reconstruct the picture of events in more detail.

As it became known, all the poltergeist episodes took place in a private house where pensioners live – the head of the family (75 years old), his wife (78 years old), as well as their son and daughter-in-law (they are about 30-35 years old) and granddaughter (8 years old). The house itself is divided into 3 parts: the old house where the old people live, and a later building – the house of the young. The family has three cats and a dog who are constantly in the yard.

Unexplained phenomena began on March 3, 2013, when the granddaughter noticed that the lids flew off the milk cans, and the cans themselves were overturned, the milk spilled out, but they did not break. After a while, grandfather saw that in the basement, where there were barrels of wine, through the taps opened by someone, all the wine had flowed out. 

And a few days later, the family found a complete mess in their room: all the things were thrown out of the wardrobe, but nothing was missing. The icon, which was standing on a shelf near the ceiling, had its face turned to the wall. The TV, which was in the same corner, was overturned, but not broken.

Approximately 10 days after the start of the first wave of abnormal events, spontaneous combustion began. Objects and things began to flare up. The back of the sofa in the part of the house with the stove was the first to burst into flames, but the fire was quickly extinguished. A little later, the granddaughter called her grandfather, the sofa seat was already on fire. 

In another part of the house, where the son-in-law and daughter-in-law lived, a sofa broke out, after which things began to spontaneously flare up (charred wallpaper, clothes, spots on the heating battery), including in the girl's room. A local Orthodox priest was called, but no changes occurred.

When the main fire broke out on April 24, 2013, only an elderly woman was in the house, who saw smoke from the windows and roof and began to scream loudly and call for help. The neighbors who came running helped to pull out things and pieces of furniture to the street, but part of the house was seriously burned out. 

At the same time, the neighbors opposite (the brother of the head of the family) also broke out things that, fortunately, managed to quickly extinguish. After such a serious episode, another Kishinev priest was invited from the monastery, after which the poltergeist did not manifest itself anymore.

As the head of the Kishinev-Kosmopoisk group notes, there were no significant intra-family conflicts. When communicating, eyewitnesses give the impression of very calm, God-fearing, and even phlegmatic people. According to the initial statement of the firefighters who arrived, the wiring was serviceable. At the moment, the poltergeist does not manifest itself in any way, so it can be stated that the phenomenon has entered the remission phase. 

Despite this, Kosmopoisk researchers keep in touch with eyewitnesses and monitor the current state of affairs.

Unexplained phenomena occur in the Pridnestrovian village of Butor. Strange things are happening in the village of Butor in the Grigoriopol district of Pridnestrovie, a "barabashka" has started - spontaneous ignition occurs in the houses of villagers. The TV channel TSV told about unexplained phenomena the day before.

Local residents turned to wherever possible – to firefighters, priests, journalists.

"For no reason at all, a pillow started burning in a room where there was no one," said a resident of one of the houses. - While they were putting out there, the sofa in the other room started burning. Another day we notice that the dishes are in the wrong place, the lids themselves jump off the bottles, someone turns the icons over."

After some time, a strong fire broke out in this house at all. No one can explain where the fire came from. The wiring is intact, but almost everything has burned down: windows, furniture, clothes.

The Grigoriopol fire department has an official version of what happened, but what they saw at the scene made the firefighters think.

"We wrote that the reason is a short circuit of the electrical wiring, but we cannot say that this is the exact cause of the fire. We were confused by everything that was going on there. But how to write that this is an abnormal phenomenon?" - said the inspector of the Grigoriopol SVHR-9 Gennady Polishchuk.

Residents of the neighboring house, who also had trouble, also told about unexplained phenomena. "While we were fighting the fire nearby, we started burning in the corner. And then the cloth caught fire on the table and the lamp turned over by itself. Our hands and feet are already shaking from fear," the frightened residents reported.

A local clergyman came to the aid of the confused inhabitants of the "enchanted" houses.

"In my practice, it is not very often that I have to meet with such things. Here we are trying with the forces that we have," Father Sergiy said.

The owners of the house noted that the house has already been consecrated twice, but the oddities continue.
