A lot of rumors, gossip and legends are associated with such a place in Moscow as the Lefortovo Tunnel. What is the truth?
A bit about the tunnel itself
A 2.2 km car tunnel is located in the northeast of the capital. The road passes under
Lefortovo Park and p. Yauza. This is part of the 3rd transport ring.
Moscow motorists do not like this road too much, because many legends are made about it. In this area, serious accidents often occur in which people die. Moreover, often accidents occur for unknown reasons - for no reason the car is brought into the oncoming lane or to the side. Some cars begin to "dance" on completely dry pavement as if they were driving on icy roads. Due to this phenomenon, this section of the road is often called the "Lefortovo death tunnel ."
In the tunnel, cellular communications and radio are never available. There is constantly noise and hum, which is gradually increasing. The general situation is depressing. Many drivers feel inexplicable fear, lack of oxygen. The behavior of motorists is changing. Many become fussy, tend to get out of the tunnel as quickly as possible.
Lefortovo Tunnel: Skeptics' Opinion
All people are different. And not everyone believes that the Lefortovo Tunnel, ghosts and accidents are links in one chain. These considerations are also sound. For example, most accidents occur due to non-compliance with the speed limit. The record recorded by the equipment is over 230 km / h. The conclusions are obvious - if at such a speed to rush along a city road, the absence of an accident can be explained exclusively by luck. Many accidents occur due to unsuccessful rearrangements and braking in the tunnel itself or at the entrance.
Another reason is flickering lighting, which can be uncomfortable for the eyes. For some, this is a strong distraction. Moreover, unlike other tunnels, the Lefortovo tunnel does not differ in a good level of lighting.
Another possible reason is the slope of the road. Therefore, the car accelerates even if the gas pedal is released. The turns are quite sharp, the stripes are very narrow. Therefore, if the driver pressed the brake at the wrong time, when driving downhill, the rear of the car is unloaded even more. The result is skidding.
Lefortovo Tunnel: Ghosts
Every now and then on the network there are photos, videos and stories about the fact that on this road there are "guests" from
other worlds. For example, ghost cars. The hero of the most popular video is the gazelle, which seems to appear out of nowhere and disappear.
They also say that in the tunnel there are also ghosts of people. Those who believe in otherworldly forces can easily believe it, because there used to be a cemetery on the site of the highway. Allegedly disturbed spirits take revenge on motorists.
They say that sometimes ghosts appear at night. Time seems to stop, and the driver has the feeling that he is traveling through the tunnel forever. Usually, "victims" talk about causelessly stalled cars, sounds resembling moans, about the appearance of thick fog. Some say they saw the risen dead. Believe it or not is everyone's business. But the fact that the Lefortovo tunnel is a rather emergency place is worth remembering.
