Mysterious tomb in the middle of the street in Turkey

In the middle of Yeni Mahalle Hamzaoğlu street is a tomb whose origin is unknown.

In the middle of the urban cobblestone street is a tomb with a large headstone, exactly what you get to see with your own eyes while driving through the Turkish city of Sivas. It sounds bizarre and somewhat creepy, but the story below will be the answer to the appearance of this first person in the middle of a wide road.

Yeni Mahalle Hamzaoğlu is one of a number of streets that pass through the Şarkışla district, of Sivas, central Turkey, and there is something special about it that makes the road famous.

Drivers who pass by here must pay attention to make sure that they do not drive directly into the grave located in the middle of the road .

Some people visit from time to time, bringing flowers.

The tomb has been around for several years, but only recently gained attention after drone photos and videos went viral on social media.

Although the large tombstone has the inscription 'Gariban Martyr Baba', no one really knows who the tomb belongs to.

When the authorities started construction of Şarkışla district, many houses in the planning area had to be relocated. However, in the process of widening the road, local authorities encountered a number of obstacles. On the land of old families, there are often graves in the yard.

It is believed that the mysterious tomb was originally located in the yard of a certain family. However, why people built a major road around it, instead of moving it away is another mystery. The head of Kandemir Neighborhood, Ahmet Hark, said it was the mystical stories surrounding the tomb that convinced the owner and then they decided to keep it instead of having to relocate.

People recount that the owner of the tomb appeared in a dream, telling the house owners that this was once a sacred altar. Any owner who bought the land had a similar dream about the grave. Since then, no one dared to touch the grave, not even the road workers.

Meanwhile, some locals said the tomb belonged to a certain martyr or scholar and some people occasionally visit, bringing flowers.
