Missing Man Found Dead in Abandoned House with Symbols on Walls

The account

I'm not that anon, but I also used to search for people. At my first job I worked in civil defense and emergency situations, and our local EMERCOM guys often roped me into searches. I'll write a few strange cases here.

A 55-year-old man went missing. Quite wealthy. He quarreled with his wife, went out to walk the dog, and didn't come back. The dog, by the way, came home on its own, but a couple of days later. At the same time the cops were looking for him, since initially there was a version involving crime. They found this man purely by accident. Some lads ran into our search group. They said that this man, like on the flyer with his photo, was sitting on a chair in an abandoned house in a private sector. Well, they were sort of rummaging through abandoned houses and saw that man in one of them. When we came to the indicated house, we indeed found that man there. He was already dead. The body was just sitting on a chair. But the strangeness wasn't in that. The whole room was covered with strange and incomprehensible symbols. It probably wasn't even any language. Mostly there were all sorts of little dashes and circles, and there were a lot of intersecting lines. The deceased himself was sitting opposite a drawn corridor receding into the distance. He drew all of it himself. It was drawn with charcoal, and his hands were all smeared with that charcoal. By the way, later the cops said that under his clothes he had also covered his body with similar symbols. The cause of death was heart failure. He died two days before we found him. According to his wife, the deceased had never been interested in anything occult like that, moreover he considered all mysticism nonsense. Mentally he seemed healthy too.

Я не тот анон, но тоже занимался поиском людей. На первой работе занимался ГО и ЧС и меня часто наши местные МЧСники подпрягали на поиски. Напишу тут несколько странных случаев.

Пропал мужик 55 лет. Довольно состоятельный. Поссорился с женой, ушёл гулять с собакой и не вернулся. Собака кстати пришла сама к дому, но через пару суток. Параллельно его искали менты, так как изначально была версия связана с криминалом. Нашли этого мужика чисто случайно. Пацаны на нашу группу поисковиков натолкнулись. Сказали типа этот мужик как на листовке с фоткой сидит на стуле в заброшенном доме в частном секторе. Ну они вроде как по заброшенным домам шарились и увидели того мужика в одном из них. Когда мы пришли к указанному дому то действительно там нашли того мужика. Он был уже мёртв. Просто тело сидело на стуле. Но странность была не в этом. Вся комната была изрисована странными и не понятными символами. Это был наверное даже не язык какой. В основном преобладали всякие чёрточки и кружочки и было очень много скрещивающихся линий. Сам же покойник сидел напротив нарисованного коридора уходящего вдаль. Рисовал это всё он сам. Нарисовано было углём и руки у него все были этим углём измазаны. Кстати потом менты говорили что и под одеждой он тело похожими символами изрисовал. Причина смерти у него была - сердечная недостаточность. Умер за двое суток до того как мы его нашли. По словам жены умерший ничем таким оккультным никогда не интересовался, более того всякую мистику считал чушью. Психически вроде тоже здоров был.

Possible ordinary explanations

Suggested by the editor, not the witness. Not a verdict.

  • The man may have had a mental breakdown or dissociative episode, leading him to draw the symbols and then die of a heart attack.
  • He could have been murdered and the symbols staged to mislead investigators, though the cause of death was heart failure.
  • The symbols might be a private code or art he created in a delusional state, unrelated to the occult.
