| to the profound surprise of everyone | к всеобщему глубочайшему изумлению (Assessing the situation, cops gathered around the well and shouted down to the woman, asking for her name. In response, they heard her cry out "Juanita," which seemingly confirmed the concerned resident's report of someone being stuck, though they could see no sign of the woman with their flashlights. Eventually the fire department arrived with special equipment that allowed a rescuer to descend to the bottom of the well. However, to the profound surprise of everyone on the scene, Juanita was no where to be found as the pit was completely empty. A subsequent search of the area, including another well nearby, turned up nothing, which has led many to theorize that the woman crying out from the well was, in fact, a ghost. -- к глубочайшему изумлению всех присутствующих  coasttocoastam.com ART Vancouver) |
