There are so many unknowns in the world. It is even difficult to imagine how many unknown secrets are kept on our Earth. There are secrets that are hidden behind the seas and oceans, but there are also those that are very close.
Almost all parents tell their children fairy tales about some extraterrestrial monsters, which, quite possibly, are more real than it seems to us at first glance.
People make up legends about them, pass on from mouth to mouth myths that in fact may be real. The same mythical heroes can be both benefactors and villains. You cannot be sure of anything in this world.
Republic of Tatarstan. Kazan. On the coat of arms of this city there is a serpent, kind, symbolizing invincibility and strength.
But there are other snakes in this area. So, in the Republic of Tatarstan in the settlement of Elabuga there is a tower known to the whole world, which was nicknamed the Devil's. The tower, according to legends, got its name due to the fact that for many years in antiquity a terrible monster lived here - a fire-breathing dragon, which no one has ever seen, because his gaze, like the Gorgon Medusa, was killing. Anyone who caught his eye turned to ash.
This beast did not know human speech, therefore, according to legend, if the dragon's fire was directed upwards, the answer was positive, if downwards it was “no”.
As payment for its prediction, the serpent received human sacrifices: beautiful girls were brought to it. Requests with wishes or questions were pronounced loudly into one of the holes in the tower, sometimes notes were left there.
They say that even Empress Catherine II, having learned about the snake - the oracle, came here. She wanted to know whether to marry Count Orlov or not. The Russian queen sent her favorite Dashkov to the snake, who gave the queen a negative answer from the oracle. Whatever it was, but the queen apparently obeyed the prediction and did not go down the aisle with Orlov.
People from all over the world came to this tower. They came to find out the answers to painful questions, and they always brought a fee with them - the most beautiful girls gave the snake for fun.
The oracle was so famous that even the queen of Kazan Tsumbek herself sent her grandee to him so that he could ask the serpent about the future of the Kazan kingdom. The nobleman, who arrived at the tower, prayed there for ten days, and suddenly heard an incredible raspy voice from the temple, saying that the Kazan kingdom would soon come to an end and Christian faith would be established in its place. Allegedly, this was the last prediction of the serpent, which suddenly rose into the air from the temple in a black cloud, and flew away to the west in full view of everyone, hiding forever.
But the worst thing was that many of the concubines of this monster became pregnant and gave birth to offspring from him, called Shurale … They were mysterious and enigmatic creatures, short, hunchbacked, with very thin fingers and a small horn on their forehead.
Many centuries have passed. However, it is still believed that the offspring of the oracle snake still lives on the land of their terrible progenitor. Shurale are the children of the serpent and the earthly woman. According to the description of local residents, these are small, humpbacked creatures with a brain part protruding outward.
They are considered mutants, monsters, but, although there is no reliable information that these monsters have harmed someone, however, the very appearance of these creatures terrified to death those people who happened to meet them.
Nowadays a tower and perhaps an unusual statue, which depicts a woman with a baby in her arms, reminds of the oracle snake in Yelabuga. This statue was found in an ancient local cemetery - the oldest necropolis, where burials date back to very ancient dates. Mysterious events are constantly developing around this statue. It is believed that she brings grief and death to people.
Many evidences that shurales appear before people in human form have come down to us. This is what a beautiful old legend tells. There was a shepherd in the world. And he began to notice strange things: every morning one of his horses is always lathered, as if someone had ridden it at night. And then the shepherd decided to smear it with tar.
And when he came the next morning, he saw that a shurale girl was sitting on this horse, stuck to the horse. The shepherd came closer, and suddenly the girl became a beauty. The shepherd immediately fell in love with her and they got married. They stayed in these parts, had children who still live there.
Today, the most incredible and inexplicable stories are written off on the shurale. Many local residents claim that they have heard, and some have seen the shurale. Local historians believe that these stories should be taken very seriously.
There are also strange corners in these parts, places that can be called anomalous. For example, the beautiful estate of the Molostovs, from which a stunning panorama of the Volga opens. This estate is shrouded in strange secrets. There is a legend that this house has a spirit. They say that the last mistress of the estate often heard crying in the house at night, terrible groans or slamming of doors …
Once upon a time, a children's camp was organized in the estate. The nannies working in it constantly heard some strange sounds, and once before their eyes one of the doors slammed shut and was bolted. And now everyone who once worked here is sure that it was a shurale.
