For the first time about the anomalies Kalkulacka caves widely talked once in 1959 a group of Moscow geologists stumbled upon this natural object. According to the memoirs of one of the participants of the expedition Yegor Barkovsky, two decades later organized a new expedition in Kushkulak. geologists have been able to stay in a mysterious cave not more than ten minutes. Covered inexplicable fear, they were literally popped out of some unknown force. When the expedition returned to the nearby village of Shira, local residents explained geologists that are spirits caves do not want to see people in his stone sanctuary.

Old-timers told the guests about the fact that in ancient times near the mountain Kushkulak proceeded Gold Creek on which the souls of the dead were emigrating from the real world to the world of the dead. Next to it there lived a powerful shaman Golden stream that followed over the centuries, the souls of the Jews in the land of shadows. But the day came, and the shaman died. According to local beliefs, the shaman's body on fire, and his Golden garments took deep into the cave in which he lives performed their magic rituals. From that time in the cave opened the gate to the underworld.

For this reason, in very ancient times, the infirm old people and sick people Khakases went there in order to end life. Later, during the "perpetual wars" (III-VI centuries ad), in Kalkulacka the cave was inhabited by the great priests Sarmatians, who sacrificed his mighty gods people and animals...

Mysterious repeater

Since the late 1970-ies numerous expeditions researchers are trying to give a scientific explanation of paranormal phenomena occurring in Kalkulacka the cave. Whenever they find themselves in this mysterious place, scientists record a number of similar phenomena: a feeling of unexplainable fear and the feeling of being in a cave there is someone invisible; visual illusions in the form of human figures and mythological creatures; auditory and tactile hallucinations.

To the surprise of scientists, instruments recorded strange pattern; it was worth a man to set foot inside the grotto, as there's been a real electromagnetic storm. In addition impartial equipment caught a single sound, coming from somewhere out of the ground.

Already in the early 1990s the group under the leadership of the Novosibirsk scientist Alexander Trofimov with more perfect equipment has established a link between the unusual phenomena occurring in the cave, and disturbance of the electromagnetic field. The researchers also made an unambiguous conclusion about what is strange impulses that appear with some frequency, are clearly artificial origin, and the source of these pulses can be a generator, located deep under the ground.

In 2003, Abakan psychic Dmitry Ivanov, thrice visited Kalkulacka the cave, said at a depth of 500 meters at the foot of Kushkulak relay is installed in this location about 400 thousand years ago representatives of highly developed extraterrestrial civilizations. In our days, the device sends in the direction of the constellation Orion signals, which encode some important information. Also, according to Ivanov, kaskelensky relay can serve for alien beings a beacon by which they are guided in the near-earth space.
