This story was told by a former operative, now retired. He always faithfully performed his service, tried to help people even in the most difficult situations. But that night he was powerless before the terrible and mysterious reality.
Even he, who had seen many terrible stories during his service, was horrified by what he heard and saw. The incident occurred in the area of Solyanka Street in the center of Moscow. About three o'clock in the morning, their car was sent there on a call. Local residents complained about some kind of crazy or drunkard who attacked people.
Upon arrival at the place, they found a young woman, very scared, almost distraught with fear. She mumbled incoherently and asked for help and to find something. The woman turned out to be quite sober, decent-looking. After she was sedated, she began to tell.
She and a young man celebrated the anniversary of their acquaintance in a restaurant nearby. They arrived by car, left it not far from the restaurant in the alley. About one o'clock in the morning, they happily went outside, the night was clear, the moon was shining on the street. They turned into an alley to approach the car, while they were walking, a noise began in a building nearby, terrible heart-rending screams were heard. Her boyfriend immediately rushed to help, she stopped him, shouted that it was better not to interfere and call the police. According to the woman, she immediately realized that it was not just human screams, it was something very dangerous, but her boyfriend was brave and ran to the screams. The building was abandoned, the windows and doors were all boarded up, there was not even an entrance. Finally they found one door. The woman assured us that the door was plastered with ads. Her boyfriend ran inside, as soon as he entered, the screams immediately subsided. A couple of moments later she hears her boyfriend's scream, a moment later he rolls out of this entrance, scared, without a jacket with scratches on his face and a bloody hand. He couldn't even say a word out of fear. Grabbing his girlfriend by the hand, he shouted that he had to run, look for a car. They ran for a long time through alleys and dead ends. Several times they tried to call the police or an ambulance, but their mobile phones could not catch the network. They did not meet people at that time. Finally, they stopped at a dead end, which was called the dead end of the Void. She tried to ask the young man about what he saw in that ill-fated house, but he did not seem to understand her. Suddenly they felt a slight earthquake, both decided that it was a subway train. When they came to the exit of the dead end, her boyfriend came out first around the corner. When she turned off after him, he was nowhere to be found. She searched, screamed, cried, called her beloved, but she didn't find him anywhere. After a while she met people who called the police, they found the young woman drunk.
Of course, the operatives drew up a protocol, she wrote a statement. Then they went with her to find her car. After a while, they found a car near a famous restaurant. They were even lucky enough to find that house, but the only open door was not covered with anything, and her boyfriend's jacket was lying in front of the door, cut in half. There were no traces of blood or dirt on it. In general, it was taken as evidence. But it didn't go any further. A week later, this woman found her boyfriend in the hospital. He was in intensive care with memory loss.
The further fate of the woman and her friend is not known to the operatives. But, having brought up the files in the archive, they found that a few years ago there were about five similar cases. There are places in Moscow where it is better not to walk alone, and in general it is not worth it.
