Underground Demon Encounter, Russia

Underground encounter:

Location. Near Novosibirsk, Russia
Date: 1985 Time: afternoon
Colleagues from the Science Institute of Baku were exploring some isolated grottos at about 100 meters below the surface. One of the scientists by the name of Constantine Bakulin dropped himself down on a rope attached to a special belt. When he was prepared to be lifted up he felt someone staring at him. He also felt strong heat emanating from the source. He felt afraid and attempted to pull the rope but was unable to move. In a state of “hypnosis” he turned his head, obeying a strange inner compulsion. He then saw a bizarre creature, very tall with glowing eyes, covered with hair and with horns. The creature made some smooth motions with his hand as if telling Constantine to follow him. Bakulin took several steps into the cave but he then began to desperately pull on the rope. His comrades immediately pulled him up.
