Poltergeist. Russia

Eyewitness Gunkova Marfa Mikhailovna.

It happened on July 30, 1979, at about 20.00.

I was sitting on the vernade, recently there was a heavy thunderstorm rain, but at that moment the clouds parted and then the sun appeared. Suddenly, there was a dull bang inside the house (like a door slamming hard) and a bright flash was observed around (during a thunderstorm).

At that time, my daughter-in-law was in the yard about 10 meters from the house. She felt the paralysis of her body for a few seconds. At that moment, a gruzuvik ZIL was passing by the house on the road, whose engine suddenly stopped.

Before that, neighbors watched as a bright fireball with a diameter of about 200-300 mm quickly descended from the side of the chalk mountains from above.

Before that, all windows and doors in the house were closed, all electrical appliances were turned off, the TV antenna was turned off. After the "explosion", I entered the hut and saw that the TV was out of order and beyond repair (it was the same with the neighbors), the stabilizer burned down, although it was not connected to the network, the meter shattered, the outer wires were torn off 3 m from the entrance to the house, the chiffonier was smashed to pieces and the hut seemed to spread out (logs parted in the corners). There were holes in the shape of lentils about 250-260 mm with charred edges in two walls inside the house. The bed linen was as if "scratched" by large claws with ragged edges. The back wall of the hut was covered with 0.8 mm thick iron, with an area of 6 by 2.5 m. So, rims appeared on all the joining surfaces (as after touching the electrode) from the outside, although the electrical wiring entrance was on the other side of the house.

Apparently it was a "ball lightning".
