Ryty Cape

The cape on the north-western shore of Lake Baikal is called Ryty Cape ("digged cape"). This place is sacred for locals; and it is forbidden to visit it. No car road leads there, local boats and ships refuse to stop at those shores, especially to tread on this land.
Locals enforced a taboo on visiting this island; the ban has survived until today. Shamans believe that the most severe gods live here sending deadly winds and casting spells on all those who disturb their peace.

Some believe that an ancient city once stood in that place, which is evidenced by an artificial stone wall. Others talk about an increased radiation background. Locals are sure to tell you thousands of stories about people who suffered in different centuries because they tried to land on the shore of that mysterious island, and that they all died or were killed under weird circumstances. In addition, it is above the Ryty Cape where people repeatedly saw UFOs and mysterious flashes resembling spaceships.
