So some guy waltzed into the Pripyat Exclusion Zone for 8 days hiking through and seeing how the place has become since the Chernobyl disaster almost 30 years ago to the day. (Machine translated from Finnish I think so the English is not perfect.)

I find the place has become some very pretty stuff although I couldn't help but have "flashbacks" to "All Ghillied Up" and "One Shot, One Kill".

Aren't most of these stories utter bullshit and usually littered with really obvious clues that the person writing was on a guided tour?

"Yup. That tasted purple."

Not this one, apparently. Story showed up on the STALKER reddit, and those folks are like dogs to a bone if someone's not playing fair.

I rather like that description the narrator used in a history documentary I once saw. He said that before the disaster happened, Chernobyl was the most modern city in the Soviet Union.

I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.
