THE STORY

Reported Haunting

The former NKVD execution and mass-burial site is associated with accounts of visitors experiencing overwhelming and unexplained emotional reactions.

More than 20,000 victims of Stalinist repression are documented as having been executed at Butovo. Russia's Dark Places specifically includes the site among its paranormal locations and describes visitors becoming emotionally overwhelmed without an obvious immediate cause.
