Summary/Description: Local peasants in this village located south of Moscow encountered a tall hairy humanoid entity (so-called wood goblin) in this legendary place near the banks of the River Moskva. The frightened locals quickly fled in terror. Other reports indicated that these giant hairy entities have been seen in this area on several occasions and for centuries and reputedly are able to slip into our realm from another dimension. Rumors indicated that there was a gateway or portal into another dimension in the area where large dolmens where located at the bottom of the Golosovyi gully. Decades later on there were reports of mysterious disappearances of residents in the nearby villages of Dyakovo and Sadovniki between 1825 and 1917.
Expanded Historical Context
“The sightings in Kolomenskoye are deeply intertwined with the folklore of the Golosovyi gully, a site long rumored to be a ‘thin’ place where the barrier between worlds is permeable. While the 1566 encounter with the ‘wood goblin’ terrified local peasants, it is only one chapter in a much larger history of anomalous activity in the region. Modern researchers, including those cited in Vadim Chernobrov’s Encyclopedia of Mysterious Places in Russia, suggest that the large dolmens at the bottom of the ravine may have served as ancient markers for these portals. The persistent nature of these reports—stretching from the mid-16th century through the mysterious disappearances of the 19th and early 20th centuries—suggests that the area south of Moscow remains one of the most significant hotspots for CE-III encounters in Russian history.”
