Sounds like an incredible story behind the astounding scenes.

The incident took place in Mykolaiv, in southern Ukraine. Local police said they received a report from the old woman's neighbor and they went to her apartment to dig out the situation. After entering the house, they found a mummy dressed in a white dress lying on the sofa. Next to the sofa, there were a lot of newspapers and rubbish, just like ruins. What's more, there were many items seemingly for religious rituals.

The 77-year-old female owner was found by the police, lying on the ground of a room. She was alive but was paralyzed and dying. She was physically weak and was sent to the hospital immediately by ambulance. In this apartment, the living condition was really bad without gas, water or electricity.

The police pointed out that this old woman lived alone in her apartment and had never interacted with her neighbors. Even the front door of her home was never opened. Neighbors have thought she lived alone and never expecting she accompanying mother's body for 30 years. Police later sent the body for inspection and investigated if there was a possibility of homicide.
