Tale from the crypts
Be glad we're merely paying a virtual visit to this 'city of the dead' outside Dargavs, Russia. Folklore has it that if you set foot here, you won't escape with your life. Whatever the truth of the matter, this is certainly a dead-quiet village. These vaulted-roof huts are not homes, they're crypts.
