Anomalous zone. Russia

We went with friends to the country, wanted to mark the end of the first year. We sat around the campfire and sang songs under a guitar, to play the fool. Was ready to go home already seven o'clock in the evening. Suddenly someone saw the tree drawing odd shapes – natural eyes. Well, we laughed: I suppose, the devil behind us watching. Took a picture of this "eye" on memory and dispersed.

The boys went to the station, and my friend straight through the forest to his cottage. To get lost like nowhere. With four sides of the railway, a holiday village, a ravine and a river. The forest he knew like the back of his hand. I walked, walked, suddenly in front, the swamp. Surprised. Turned left, walked along the swamp, and after five minutes came to campfire place. Went over, only half an hour later it went somehow to the river. What the hell, thinking, no way – the devil drives! Then decided, without further ADO, walk along the river to the station. To take the train, drive to its platform, and there on the asphalt path to the garden.

- Came to the station – he says. Where the river bend, bushes like that, I had to get around them. Bypassed – and the river-then and there! That's when I got really scared. Went aimlessly, and came in an hour – it was dark – a "piece of iron". Went along the tracks to the next stop and there to give two steps.

In the morning he told grandma, she had all sorts of ceremonies-signs knew. So my grandmother said that he was very lucky – I was joking with him the forest owner.
