The Black Volga is a European phenomenon of mysterious black cars said to be driven by various people in different accounts and abduct people. The legend was spread throughout Eastern Europe in during and post Iron Curtain communist reign, mainly in Poland.

The story tells of a mysterious black Volga car that abducts people. The stories differ on who was abducted and who was the driver.

Some have stated it was children who were abducted, while others say adults. The driver has been told as secret police, Satan, demons or people of other ethnic groups have been told as the monster in this story.

Description[]

The origins of the Black Volga legend can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s during the communist era in Poland. At that time, the country was under strict government control, and various propaganda and rumors were used to maintain social order. The Black Volga myth is believed to have emerged as a cautionary tale, warning children about the dangers of talking to strangers or wandering off alone.

In the myth, it is often claimed that the Black Volga was driven by members of the KGB or other secret police forces, who were allegedly tasked with kidnapping children for nefarious purposes. The car itself was described as an imposing vehicle, always immaculately clean and shining, with tinted windows that concealed the occupants’ identities. The story goes that unsuspecting children would be lured into the car with promises of candy or toys, only to vanish without a trace.


Possible Explanations[]

There are several explanations as to what the creature could be. Theories include:

  • A rumor or Hoax
  • secret police working for the communist parties
  • Demonic presence
  • uncaptured serial killer(s)
  • possible story told to scare children into behaving

trivia[]

  • The story seems to be a slightly more obscure and Eastern European version to the popular Men in Black urban Legend.
  • The story also bears a resemblance to the common story of a stranger luring a kid into a car or van told by parents to scare children so they don't talk to strangers.
