Strange holes in the ground discovered in Krasnoyarsk region

Residents of Novoselovo district in the Krasnoyarsk region have come
across a mysterious phenomenon in the field. They discovered several
tunnels of unknown origin in an area located some 100 meters away from
the highway connecting the cities of Krasnoyarsk and Abakan , in the
vicinity of the village of Kurgany, Siberian News Agency reports.

There are about 10 holes in the field. Each hole has an entrance to a
cave-like hollow place in the earth. Some of the tunnels are big enough
for a person of medium height to stand up straight. According to one of
the suppositions, all the underground passages are interconnected in a
network. A few daredevils equipped with flashlights attempted walking
across the tunnels.

Local residents have a number of theories to explain the origin of the
tunnels. Some people believe the tunnels are the work of unidentified
pranksters, others blame mysterious animals which reportedly dig holes
in the ground. According to yet another theory, the tunnels may somehow
be related to an earthquake that occurred in the area 3 years ago.

Krasnoyarsk scientists have not yet made any official statements as to
the explanation of the phenomenon.
