The Marina Yritsyan Encounter: Paranormal Visitation from Beyond the Grave
In 1986, Marina Yitzin experienced an extraordinary series of events that blurred the boundaries between the paranormal and extraterrestrial phenomena. Living in Pitsunda, Georgia, then part of the Soviet Union, Marina's unusual encounter began innocently enough during a visit to Moscow when she participated in an impromptu séance with her mother and friends. What started as casual entertainment quickly evolved into something far more mysterious when a greenish light filled the room and a message appeared, stating, "We are not spirits, we are not from your world."
The communications continued and evolved over several months, eventually culminating in a remarkable meeting at Marina's home in Pitsunda on June 17, 1986. That night, Marina and six others witnessed several strange visitors, including a man in a white jumpsuit who operated a mysterious black box. Most shockingly, Marina came face-to-face with her father who had died twenty years earlier. The visitors, including Marina's father, eventually departed by walking into the sea, disappearing beneath the waves before a bright light flashed on the horizon.

Background and Context
Marina Yitzin's First Contact
Marina Yitzin's extraordinary encounters began in January 1986 while visiting friends in Moscow with her mother. The group casually experimented with a makeshift séance, drawing a circle on paper and placing a candle in the center. What started as mere entertainment took an unexpected turn when the dish began moving independently. Though initially dismissed as trickery, their skepticism vanished when, after midnight, an eerie greenish light filled the room accompanied by a sharp electrical odor. The dish slid across the table, leaving behind a message: "We are not spirits. We are not from your world."
This marked the beginning of regular communication sessions that continued throughout their Moscow stay. These exchanges were informal and focused primarily on everyday topics rather than scientific inquiry. The entities never presented any threatening behavior, which encouraged Marina to maintain contact even after returning to her hometown.
The Rise of Spiritualism in Soviet Culture
During the mid-1980s, spiritualism gained significant popularity throughout the Soviet Union. Citizens increasingly experimented with ouija boards, séances, and ghost hunting as these practices spread through popular culture. This trend provided the backdrop for Marina's experiences, emerging during a time when many Soviet people were exploring metaphysical concepts previously suppressed under stricter ideological conditions.
The cultural fascination with spiritual phenomena created an environment where Marina's encounters, though extraordinary, existed within a broader context of supernatural exploration. Many Soviets approached these activities as entertainment rather than serious metaphysical inquiry. Despite official Soviet ideology's historical emphasis on scientific materialism, this period saw growing interest in paranormal experiences across different regions of the USSR, including Moscow and the Georgian coast where Marina's most significant encounters would later occur.
Contact with the Unexplained
Moscow Séance Experience
In January 1986, Marina Yitzin experienced an extraordinary encounter while visiting friends in Moscow with her mother. At a time when spiritualism was gaining popularity in Soviet culture, the group decided to conduct an impromptu séance. Marina, her mother, and two others gathered around a table, drew a circle, and placed a lit candle on a dish in the center. The participants approached the activity casually, treating it as mere entertainment to pass the evening.
During the séance, something unexpected occurred—the dish began to move independently, spinning without apparent human intervention. The group initially dismissed this, assuming someone had manipulated the dish. They eventually abandoned the séance and spent the remainder of the evening conversing over coffee.
After midnight, while the group relaxed, a strange greenish light suddenly illuminated the room. The air filled with a sharp electrical odor that Marina described as similar to ozone. The women watched in astonishment as the dish slid across the table, revealing a message written on the paper beneath.
Communication with Non-Terrestrial Entities
The message discovered that night translated roughly to: "We are not spirits. We are not from your world." This marked the beginning of a series of contacts between Marina's group and these mysterious communicators. Rather than establishing scientific protocols, their interactions remained informal, focusing primarily on everyday questions.
Marina attempted daily contact until returning to Yerevan with her mother. The communication paused temporarily but resumed during their next visit to Moscow. None of the women felt threatened by these exchanges, which encouraged them to continue the sessions.
During one significant session, the dish mysteriously rotated to the "4 o'clock position." Shortly after, Marina rushed from the bathroom in a highly distressed state, requesting pen and paper. In clumsy handwriting, she wrote: "Transition to a new kind of communication. Do not worry."
This event marked a shift in their communication method. Marina began receiving written messages that included warnings about:
Future global troubles
Earthquake predictions
Other catastrophic events
The entities also facilitated contact with someone identifying himself as Oleg Doll, who claimed to be deceased. This entity instructed Marina to visit Vagnosky Cemetery to verify his death. Growing skeptical, Marina wondered if these communications could connect her with her beloved father who had passed away in 1966.
When the entities proposed a physical meeting at Marina's home in Pitsunda for June 17, 1986, she agreed, hoping to test their claims and possibly reunite with her father.
The Beach Departure Incident
At the arranged meeting, seven people gathered in Marina's home around 3:00 AM. Footsteps were heard outside while, strangely, Marina's normally vigilant dogs remained silent. A man in a white jumpsuit entered through the deliberately unlocked door. His appearance was unremarkable—approximately 30 years old—but his movements appeared mechanical and his expression remained eerily neutral.
The visitor carried a black box which, when activated, caused Marina's previously broken television to turn on. The screen displayed unfamiliar faces followed by images resembling an empty Roman theater before going dark. The stranger then departed.
Forty minutes later, four figures entered: the apparent Oleg Doll, two unknown men, and—most shockingly—Marina's deceased father. The emotional reunion caused Marina's mother to briefly faint. After greeting the women, Doll suggested moving the conversation outside. While Marina's mother remained indoors, the others proceeded to the courtyard.
Marina and her father spoke privately on a bench. Though she kept the details of their conversation confidential, Marina insisted the man was indeed her father. Around the property, additional figures stood at regular intervals, mostly wearing white coveralls.
Around 5:00 AM, the visitors prepared to leave. Marina's father affectionately patted her head and reassured her in Armenian: "Everything will be fine." The group headed toward the nearby seashore with Marina following at a distance. At the water's edge, both Doll and Marina's father donned white coveralls with face coverings provided by the other figures.
After waving goodbye, all the visitors walked directly into the sea and disappeared beneath the water. Marina stood in shock on the beach. Minutes later, a bright light flashed on the horizon and vanished—a moment Marina understood as forever changing her perception of life, death, and reality itself.
Developing Communication
The progression of unusual encounters evolved significantly over time, showing patterns of escalation and adaptation. These communications transitioned from simple beginnings to increasingly complex interactions, with warnings and messages taking center stage.
Resuming Contact in Yerevan
After the initial contact in Moscow, the communications temporarily ceased when Marina and her mother left for Yerevan. The break was merely temporary, as the interactions resumed immediately upon their return visit to Moscow to see the same friends. The women felt no apprehension about reestablishing contact since their previous experiences hadn't seemed threatening. On their first evening back, they gathered around the familiar dish, which mysteriously rotated to the 4 o'clock position without human intervention. This movement signaled the presence of their otherworldly communicators.
Changing Methods
The communication method underwent a dramatic transformation shortly thereafter. Marina suddenly rushed from the bathroom in a hysterical state, desperately requesting pen and paper. When these were provided, she began writing in an awkward, unfamiliar handwriting: "Transition to a new kind of communication. Do not worry." This emotional moment marked a significant shift from the previous means of contact to direct writing.
Through this new method, the communications continued with increased specificity. Marina appeared to function as a conduit, writing messages that weren't her own. During these sessions, a new entity identified itself as Oleg Doll, reportedly a deceased individual. This entity provided verifiable information, suggesting Marina visit Vagnosky to confirm his death at his gravesite. Despite the increasingly specific communications, Marina's skepticism continued to grow.
Warnings Received
The written communications contained several concerning messages:
Environmental disasters: Warnings about upcoming earthquakes
Global troubles: Predictions of terrible events affecting the planet
Specific meeting request: An invitation to meet at Marina's home in Pitsunda
These warnings escalated the encounters beyond mere communication to include predictions of future events. The entities seemed intent on conveying urgent information about impending troubles. Marina, still doubtful about the nature of these communications, decided to test the entities by requesting something seemingly impossible—to see her father who had passed away in 1966. This request would set the stage for an extraordinary meeting that would challenge everything she understood about reality.
Personal Doubts and Testing
Questioning the Alleged "Oleg Doll" Entity
As Marina's encounters continued through 1986, she began developing significant doubts about the entities she was communicating with. The initial contact had evolved from simple table movements during a casual séance to written messages and eventually claims of being from another world entirely. When an entity identifying itself as "Oleg Doll" made contact and claimed to be deceased, Marina's skepticism grew stronger.
The entity instructed Marina and her companions to visit Vagnosky to find his grave, supposedly to verify his death. This request seemed like an opportunity to test the truthfulness of these communications. Marina remained only partially convinced, wondering if these experiences were genuine or elaborately fabricated.
Marina's Wish to Reconnect with Her Father
Marina's testing of the entities took a personal turn when she made a significant request. Having lost her father in 1966, she reasoned that if communication with a deceased stranger like Oleg Doll was possible, perhaps she could speak with her beloved father again. This request served both as an emotional hope and a practical test of the entities' claims and abilities.
The beings agreed to this request, setting up a meeting at Marina's rented home in Pitsunda on June 17, 1986. This arrangement would become the most profound test of the authenticity of her experiences, as it promised something that seemed impossible—a reunion with her deceased father whom she had deeply missed for twenty years.
The Meeting Events
Planning and Visitor Arrival
Marina and six others gathered in the small living room of her Pitsunda home on June 17, 1986. The room contained two sofas, a coffee table, and a television that had recently stopped working. By previous arrangement, they left the front door open and waited anxiously. At approximately 3:00 AM, footsteps were heard outside the windows. Strangely, Marina's dogs, who typically barked at the slightest noise, remained completely silent throughout the encounter.
Tension filled the room as a man in a white jumpsuit entered through the open door. He appeared to be around 30 years old and moved with unusual, mechanical movements. His expression remained neutral and detached as he surveyed the room's occupants.
The Visitors' Appearance
The first visitor carried a black box which he opened and manipulated. Immediately, the previously non-functional television turned on, displaying unfamiliar faces followed by images of what resembled an empty Roman theater before the screen went dark again. After closing the box, the man departed without speaking.
Approximately forty minutes later, four new figures entered the room:
Oleg Doll (the claimed deceased communicator)
Two unknown men in casual clothing (checkered shirts and jeans)
Marina's father (who had passed away in 1966)
Marina's mother screamed upon seeing her deceased husband and briefly lost consciousness. Marina herself was overcome with shock at seeing her father standing before her after twenty years.
Interaction with "Deceased" Individuals
Doll invited everyone to continue their conversation in the courtyard outside. Marina's mother, severely distressed by the encounter, chose to remain inside while the others proceeded outdoors. Marina and her father sat together on a bench for a deeply personal conversation that Marina later declined to share with investigators, stating only that she was convinced the man was indeed her deceased father.
While outside, the group noticed additional figures positioned at equal distances around the house. Most wore white coveralls similar to the first visitor. After approximately an hour, around 5:00 AM, the visitors prepared to leave.
As they walked toward the gate, Marina's father paused to pat her head, saying warmly in Armenian, "Everything will be fine." The visitors headed toward the nearby sea with Marina following at a distance. At the shoreline, both Doll and Marina's father were given white coveralls by the other visitors, which they put on completely, including head coverings that obscured their faces.
Doll waved goodbye before walking into the water. Marina's father looked at her one final time before also entering the sea. All visitors disappeared beneath the waves. Marina stood in shock on the beach for several minutes until a bright light flashed on the horizon and then vanished, marking the end of this extraordinary encounter.
Marina's Extraordinary Experience
Conversations with Marina's Late Father
Marina's encounter with her deceased father stands as one of the most profound aspects of her 1986 experiences. After months of unusual communications through writing sessions and seances, entities promised Marina something extraordinary—a physical meeting at her Pitsunda home on June 17, 1986.
During this remarkable night, seven people gathered in Marina's small living room around 3:00 AM. Despite having dogs that typically barked at the slightest disturbance, the animals remained mysteriously silent when footsteps approached. A man in a white jumpsuit entered through the deliberately unlocked door, displaying robotic movements and carrying a black box that somehow activated Marina's previously broken television.
Forty minutes later, four figures entered the room. Among them was the entity known as Oleg Doll and, most shockingly, Marina's father who had passed away twenty years earlier in 1966. Marina's mother fainted briefly upon seeing her deceased husband. The group then moved to the courtyard, where Marina and her father sat on a bench for a deeply personal conversation—details Marina later refused to share with investigators, only confirming that she was certain the man was indeed her late father.
Witnessing Otherworldly Phenomena
The events surrounding this extraordinary reunion included numerous anomalous elements that defied conventional explanation. During the outdoor conversation, additional figures dressed in white coveralls positioned themselves at equal distances around Marina's property, silently observing the proceedings.
Around 5:00 AM, the visitors prepared to depart, heading toward the nearby seashore. Marina's father offered a final reassurance, patting her head and telling her warmly in Armenian, "Everything will be fine." Following the group to the beach, Marina witnessed something truly astonishing—her father, Doll, and the other visitors donned white coveralls with head coverings, walked directly into the sea, and completely disappeared beneath the water.
Marina remained on the shore, processing what she had witnessed. After several minutes, a bright light flashed on the horizon and quickly vanished. In that moment, Marina realized her understanding of life, death, and reality had been permanently transformed. The experience marked a profound turning point that would forever change her perspective on existence itself.
End of the Encounter
Visitors' Farewell
In the early morning hours of June 18, 1986, the remarkable series of events in Pitsunda reached its conclusion. After the indoor meeting with Oleg Dahl and Marina's father, the group moved to the courtyard for more intimate conversations. Marina and her father sat together on a bench, sharing a deeply personal exchange that she later declined to detail to investigators—stating only that she was convinced beyond doubt that she had indeed spoken with her deceased father.
As dawn approached around 5:00 AM, the visitors prepared to depart. The group began walking toward the gate and continued in the direction of the nearby sea. Marina observed additional figures stationed at regular intervals around her home, most wearing white coveralls. She followed at a distance as the visitors made their way to the shoreline.
At the water's edge, a strange ritual unfolded. Both Dahl and Marina's father were given white coveralls by the attendants, which they promptly donned. These outfits included head coverings that obscured their faces completely. Dahl turned toward Marina and waved a final goodbye before walking directly into the water. Her father paused briefly, looked back at her one last time, then followed Dahl into the sea.
Contemplating the Inexplicable
Marina stood frozen on the beach, watching in astonishment as all the visitors disappeared beneath the water's surface. After several minutes of stunned silence, a brilliant flash of light appeared on the horizon and then vanished. In that moment, Marina experienced a profound realization—everything she had previously understood about life, death, and reality had been fundamentally altered.
The six-month period of strange communications that had begun with a casual séance in Moscow had culminated in an experience that defied conventional explanation. What had started as a harmless activity to pass the time had evolved into direct contact with entities claiming to be from another world.
Marina's encounter bridged multiple paranormal phenomena—from spirit communication to apparent manifestations of deceased loved ones to elements commonly associated with extraterrestrial contact. The technological demonstrations, such as the repair of the broken television and the visitors' unusual departure into the sea, suggested capabilities beyond ordinary human means.
The experience left Marina with the unshakable conviction that the boundaries between life and death were more permeable than conventional wisdom suggested. Her worldview permanently transformed, she understood that she would carry the weight and wonder of these supernatural encounters for the rest of her life.
