A young woman named Masha (about 30 years of age) traveled from Crimea to an excursion to the city of Odessa; one of the important places of interest there where the famous Odessa underground catacombs (created during the construction of the city, when huge numbers of rock and stones were extracted from the area) which are found throughout most of the city. Important detail, Masha was not married and she was very tall, almost 2 meters and robustly built. The excursion was dangerous, since the underground labyrinths were intricate and complicated. There had been numerous cases of missing or lost tourists, so the guides strictly instructed the excursionists to move in chain groups holding well lit lights or candles. Their target site was the location of a famous partisan squadron hideout during the Second World War. Masha, being the tallest of the group was at the end of the "chain". Suddenly as it seemed to her, she heard what sounded like a child weeping in one of the side passages. Being a kind and sympathetic person, Masha rushed to the scene thinking she was going to help a lost child and became separated from the group. Then she remembered nothing next, only a strong "kick" to her head and nothing more. Her disappearance caused a local stir. A search was organized for her that lasted several days, but with no results. Finally on the third day, Masha walked out of the darkness of the catacombs and stumbled upon another group of tourists. She was then brought back to the surface. After returning to Crimea she did not say a word of what happened to her parents. But her parent and neighbors noticed that she became reclusive, and uncommunicative, only occupied by her job and home chores. The sensation was the news of her unexpected pregnancy. Not understanding from who or how her parents were constantly asking her for sincere answers. But Masha gave sincere answers, she did not know how or who either. As soon as she had arrived from Odessa she immediately felt something wrong and different with her. (Unfortunately the witness was never subjected to regressive hypnosis).
