Andrei Kharsukhov, a nuclear scientist at the University of Buffalo, had a horrifyingly terrifying experience while working at the Chernobyl power plant in 1997. He saw someone shouting for assistance while he was there, and he reported hearing them.

The iconic "Ground Zero" of the Chernobyl accident was the location that he was visiting, and he said that he arrived there at around 7:30 in the morning and proceeded straight to the sarcophagus that was located in Reactor 4. During the time that he was collecting readings, he reported to the authorities that he could clearly hear someone faintly but urgently pleading for assistance in putting out a fire. As a result, he hurried back upstairs and informed those who had allowed him to enter what an individual had seen.

On the other hand, they announced to him that he was the first person to access the location in the last three years. In addition to this, they reminded him that in order to access, he has to have a password, a handprint is required, and if someone had entered without their knowledge, it would have triggered an alert. People who lived in the region began to experience incredibly weird happenings before to the tragedy that occurred at the beginning of April 1986. Now, if that isn't strange enough, before the disaster occurred.

There were accounts of workers at the power plant sighting a massive, black bird-like monster with a wingspan of twenty feet and enormous, glaring red eyes. This creature would later be referred to as the "Black Bird of Chernobyl." Those who saw this apparition would also describe experiencing a variety of other symptoms, including terrifying dreams and receiving threatening phone calls, and said that these symptoms became more severe right up until the morning of the tragedy that occurred on April 26, 1986.

Many scholars believe that the events that occurred at Chernobyl were caused by the "Mothman," which is a monster that is frighteningly similar to the one that was said to have tormented the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, immediately before to the breakdown of the Silver Bridge on December 15, 1967, which resulted in the deaths of forty-six persons. In addition, they argue that historical evidence reveals that this entity looks to be a forerunner of death.

This is due to the fact that animals similar to the Mothman have been recorded in other locations in the past, and the phenomenon has not been reported subsequently; this is similar to the situation that occurred with Chernobyl and the Silver Bridge.
