Necropolis of Dargavs

Be glad we"re merely paying a virtual visit to this "City of the Dead" outside Dargavs, Russia. Local folklore warns that if you set foot here, you won"t escape with your life. We"re not sure the dead pose such a mortal danger, but what"s certain is that this is a dead-quiet village. These vaulted-roof huts are not homes—they"re crypts.
