and was howling. The hunters stood frozen, and only Kiskorov hurried to offer help: he threw the creature the dry trunk of a young aspen tree, the creature clutched to it and crawled to the bank," the district administration officer said. The Kemerovo Region registered a high spring flood this year, and many mountain rivers started breaking ice. Ice in some sections persists, but it is very thin. The village of Senzaskie Kichi, located 140 kilometres from the Tashtagol district centre deep in the taiga, has no electricity and no road. A helicopter flies to the village once a week. The last flight brought a letter, signed by Kiskorov and another three huntsmen, to the head of the Tashtagol district administration with a story about this incident.

The Pye valve wireless at Montrose Air Station, a heritage centre which tells the story of the men and women who served there, has no power and is not connected to any source of electricity. The aerodrome has been a source of paranormal sightings and sounds for almost a century, with reports of ghostly figures, eerie footsteps and door handles turning, but the mysterious wireless broadcasts have had even the most sceptical staff at the station searching for a rational explanation. The vintage radio set is kept in a re-creation of a 1940s room. Several people have heard Second World War-era broadcasts, including the big-band sound of the Glenn Miller Orchestra and speeches by Winston Churchill. The broadcasts come on at random and can last for up to half an hour. Technicians who examined the radio removed the back, but found "nothing but cobwebs and spiders". The wireless broadcasts join a long list of mysteries at the air station, where the heritage centre is in the original headquarters building. Visitors have reported strange "energies" around the airfield, phantom footsteps, doors opening and shutting, the sound of aircraft engines, shadowy figures walking in and out of rooms and even the sighting of a pilot in full flying kit. The air station was established in 1913 by the Royal Flying Corps as Britain's first operational military airfield. There are more details about the heritage centre at the website www.rafmontrose.org.uk/.
