Pillows, mattresses and even underwear ignite by themselves in the family of Zhytomyr residents. The residents of the 13th apartment say that they have lived here quite calmly for 30 years. Their high-rise building is located in the central part of Zhytomyr, there are a lot of similar houses nearby. There are no problems with the neighbors.

- Unexplained phenomena in our apartment began in the fall of 2013 and continue to this day, - laments 67-year-old Yuri Plyusnin. — First, a large three-door wardrobe fell in the bedroom. Fortunately, there was no one nearby and he didn't crush anyone. I thought the legs were broken, replaced them, and we put it back in place. However, a few days later the cabinet fell down again.

I must say that it is very heavy, two men can not move it from its place. We didn't understand what was going on. Then, for no reason at all, the mezzanine fell from the closet in my daughter's bedroom. We put it in place, but by the evening it fell to the floor again! Then the closet in the hallway fell… Finally it dawned on us: there was clearly a poltergeist in the house. Otherwise, how to explain all these oddities?

- Maybe someone from your family is fooling around in this way?

- Six people live in four rooms, - says the man. — My wife Elena and I occupy one, my daughter and son—in—law occupy the second, my 14-year-old grandson occupies the third, my 92-year-old mother-in-law lies in the fourth. An old woman is paralyzed, does not get out of bed, so you definitely can't think anything bad about her. But I looked after the other family members. I must admit, I suspected that my grandson was joking with us like that. However, very soon it became clear to me that the household was not to blame for what was happening.

After moving the furniture in the apartment, spontaneous combustion began. The flame flares up instantly, it happens for no reason and in the most unpredictable places. The cause of the fires could not be determined. I tried to identify the arsonist, but when a shirt caught fire on my grandson's body before my eyes, I was finally convinced that it was not his tricks. He definitely can't move the cabinet from its place.

 - Do fires occur at different times of the day?

- Most often from 8 to 10 am and from 11 pm to 1 am. At this time, we try to be as vigilant as possible. Up to thirty (!) fires occur during the day. The worst thing is when it breaks out in several places at once, and we don't know what to put out first. For example, a pillow, a mattress and an armchair catch fire in three rooms at once. You can also follow the link and buy a cotton mattress cheap and excellent quality. It's good if someone is there at this moment and can immediately put out the fire. It's worse if the room is empty. When, after a while, we, having smelled smoke, resort to extinguish the fire, there is nothing left to extinguish — the thing is completely ruined. Thus, we were unable to save the chair, sofa and much more.

All family members are constantly on the alert. We are on duty day and night, we sleep for several hours. In order to prevent a big fire, we never leave the apartment — someone is always here. All family members try to stay at home during "dangerous" hours.

None of us knows what, where and when it will ignite. In addition to furniture, beds and things, even the walls lit up. It is very scary when the clothes on the body ignite. I burned three shirts, they burned holes measuring 20 by 30 centimeters. Two T-shirts were burned on the grandson. The ignition for me and him occurs, as a rule, on the back.

— Do you feel when you start burning?

- I feel a sudden strong warmth. It is important to quickly take off your clothes, otherwise you may get burned. However, now we have adapted... to constantly carry sprayers in our hands. As soon as my grandson or I feel a burning sensation from behind, we immediately extinguish each other with water. Thanks to this method, it is possible to keep clothes intact and avoid skin damage.

In the apartment of the Plyusnins, there are containers filled with water everywhere — buckets, bowls and bottles. You can stumble upon them in the hallway, in the living room, in the kitchen, in the bedroom and even in the nursery. In addition, the family has stocked up with a powerful fire extinguisher.

- First the sofa bed caught fire, then the armchairs, - explains 65-year-old Elena Plyusnina (pictured). — We began to cover the furniture with rags, as a result, they also began to flare up. Fortunately, everything is stewed without problems. As soon as something lights up, we immediately cover it with a row or fill it with water. Basically, a thin fabric flares up. Therefore, to reduce the likelihood of fire, curtains and tulle were removed from all windows. We live in constant fear, we sleep in turns: if I fall asleep, then my husband is on duty, if my husband is sleeping, my son-in-law is on duty, and so on.

And our poltergeist does not like smokers. Cigarettes are constantly disappearing in the apartment. Then we find a pack in the freezer, then floating in the toilet.

Yuri Plyusnin says that all the oddities began to happen since their mother-in-law settled in their apartment. The man suspects that this is not a coincidence.

- My grandmother used to live alone in her house, in the village, - says Yuri Vasilyevich. — After a stroke, I went to the hospital. It so happened that a roommate died in front of her eyes. It seems that this has affected our relative. She became strange, withdrawn. We made a high partition on her bed. So, the paralyzed old lady managed to climb over her and fall to the floor! After several such cases, they decided to put the mother-in-law on the floor, pre-laid a lot of pillows. You should have seen how Grandma bounced on those pillows! It was something terrible.

Of course, we do not believe that a paralyzed woman alone rearranges furniture and ignites things with a glance. But we do not exclude that an evil spirit could have possessed her, which is outrageous.

Fortunately, all fires usually occur before our eyes. And if suddenly there is no one in the apartment? We are afraid to burn down the entire apartment building.

— A dog lives in your apartment. Perhaps an animal should feel an extraneous being?

— You're right, the dog really feels it, - Yuri Plyusnin nods. — When something strange starts happening in the house, she hides under the bed with her tail between her legs. On the advice of friends, we are going to get a cat. We were told that cats are very sensitive to otherworldly objects, but, most importantly, they are not afraid of them.

— Have you asked for help from specialists?

- We appealed to the employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, they found nothing and advised to call the police. Officially, firefighters classified the fire as careless handling of fire. They said they didn't understand what was going on in the apartment, but they couldn't officially recognize it as a poltergeist. There was a scientist in the apartment who, with the help of a special device, determined the strengthening of energy near our grandmother. The scientist admitted that he had never encountered anything like this before. He advised me to install a protective net near my grandmother. Now we are going to follow his advice.

— The case, of course, is very interesting, - says Professor Alexander Tkachenko, head of the Department of Physics at the Zhytomyr State University named after Franko. - The energy that acts on objects in the apartment and affects their ignition seems to come from the old lady herself. In any case, near the grandmother, the energy is just off the scale. Perhaps these changes were due to a stroke she suffered. It is necessary to install screens around an elderly woman that will restrain the spread of electromagnetic waves and, consequently, energy. I hope that after that the fall of cabinets and the fire in the apartment will stop.

- I must admit, I have been an unbeliever all my life— - says Yuri Plyusnin. — Before retirement, I worked as a civil aviation engineer at the airport, my wife worked at a garment factory. We always lived quietly, didn't quarrel with anyone, and had excellent relations with our neighbors. After what began to happen in our apartment, I had to believe in both an evil spirit and an evil spirit. But we believe in God more. Maybe with the help of the clergy it will be possible to get rid of evil spirits.

On April 28, two priests were invited to consecrate our apartment. The fires stopped, we were happy and gradually began to forget all these horrors. However, a week later everything resumed. We endured for several days and again turned to the clergy for help, only this time from another church. Father, having learned about our problem, cheerfully said: "Don't worry, you are not the only one in Zhytomyr! I have already been invited to an apartment in which furniture moves by itself." He promised to solve all our problems. It seems that the priest really turned out to be experienced in such difficult matters. He went around all the corners with a censer, it seems, looked into all the cracks. Maybe this time it will help.

People are wondering why the poltergeist chose the apartment of the Plyusnins.

"We've been living side by side for thirty years—" says the housemate. — I can't say anything bad about Yura and Lena. They are good, friendly, honest people. What they have been going on lately does not fit into my head. And it's hard to believe, and it's impossible not to believe.

Translated from German, poltergeist means "noisy spirit". During its manifestation, knocks, noises are noted, spontaneous movement of objects occurs, the appearance of various inscriptions. The most dangerous level of activity is spontaneous combustion. Paranormal researchers Michael Gross and Colin Wilson have created an anthology that includes episodes of poltergeist known to science. Documented cases of "fiery" poltergeist are not so rare, but they do not give an unambiguous answer about the nature of this phenomenon
