This is a true story that happened with my mom one year ago.

One day, it was October or November, at 8-9 pm o`clock I was coming back from the city to home in the village. And as always the way to home was going through the forest. It was dark there. And in each hand I carried a bag, so I could not use a flashlight. It was very quiet inside forest, because of absence of wind.

And suddenly, right in the middle of my way to home, I heard the steps of 2-3 creatures behind me... I started to walk faster, but they raised their speed too! Then I started to run (with two big bags), but they were running too! I was about to shout.

There was nobody in the village in the morning of that day, except me and one neighbor Sasha. He was 40 years old man who liked to drink. But I wanted to go to the city, because my best friend Vira invited me to go shopping. So I asked Sasha to take care of my (3 black) goats. He said "Ok, don't be afraid, I will feed them in the forrest". I believed him and went to the city.

But unfortunately after noon arrived his good friend who brought vodka. But Sasha didn't give up and being drunk he led the goats to feed in the forest. And he fell asleep there.

My heart was beating a rhythm of the drums in very heavy metal song. I was exhausted and couldn't run further. So I stopped, turned back and came to know that those creatures were my goats:) I have never been so glad to see them!!! They just saw me and started to follow me, while I was thinking that some creatures are chasing me. Ah and Sasha was ok, he just woke up later and came home. On the next day he brought the cake and apologized.

Btw, this is the picture inside that forest, that I made, using flashlight in October at 07:00 pm.

People can see those white stickers on the trees, to follow the path. But it is almost impossible to recognize the goats in the dark forest, especially if they all are BLACK!
