A lot of rumors, gossip and legends are associated with such a place in Moscow as the Lefortovo tunnel. What is the truth?
A little about the tunnel itself
The 2.2 km long automobile tunnel is located in the north-east of the capital. The road passes under Lefortovsky Park and the river. Yauza. This is part of the 3rd Ring Road.
Motorists in the capital do not like this road too much, because there are many legends about it. Serious accidents often occur in this area, in which people die. Moreover, accidents often occur for unknown reasons - for no reason at all, the car slides into the oncoming lane or to the side. Some cars begin to "dance" on completely dry pavement as if they were driving on ice. Due to this phenomenon, this section of the road is often called the "Lefortovo tunnel of death".
Cellular and radio are never available in the tunnel. There is constant noise and hum, which gradually increases. The general atmosphere is oppressive. Many drivers feel inexplicable fear, lack of oxygen. The behavior of motorists is also changing. Many become fussy, trying to get out of the tunnel as quickly as possible.
Lefortovo tunnel: the opinion of skeptics
All people are different. And not everyone believes that the Lefortovo tunnel, ghosts and accidents are links in the same 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 you rush along a city road at such a speed, the absence of an accident can be explained solely by luck. Many accidents occur due to unsuccessful lane changes 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 major distraction. Moreover, unlike other tunnels, the Lefortovo tunnel does not have 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 steep, the lanes are very narrow. Therefore, if the driver pressed the brake at the wrong time, when driving downhill, the back of the car is even more unloaded. The result is a skid.
Lefortovo tunnel: ghosts
Every now and then, photos, videos and stories appear on the net that "guests" from other worlds meet on this road. For example, ghost cars. The hero of the most popular video is a gazelle that seems to appear out of nowhere and disappear.
It is also said that there are ghosts of people in the tunnel. For those who believe in otherworldly forces, this is easy to believe, because onThe site of the road used to be a cemetery. Allegedly disturbed spirits take revenge on motorists.
They say that sometimes ghosts appear at night. Time seems to stop, and the driver gets the feeling that he is driving through the tunnel forever. Usually, the "victims" talk about cars that have stalled for no reason, sounds resembling groans, about the appearance of thick fog. Some say they have seen the risen dead. To believe in it or not is everyone's business. But the fact that the Lefortovo tunnel is a rather emergency place is worth remembering.
