Natalia fell ill 10 years ago and then miraculously recovered. The woman said that in September she went to the Ilovlinsky district. There is an unusual clearing there - it is round, located in the middle of the forest and the trees do not grow on it at all. A place with unusual energy. In the evening, in this glade, she and her husband pitched a tent. In the morning Natalya woke up and saw the outlines of a man between the branches. Natalia remembered the appearance of the stranger - a thick beard, the man's face was senile, with slanted eyebrows. He called himself Iliodor. The husband also saw this wanderer.
The old man told the sick woman which of the herbs would help cure her kidney disease and allergies.
In this glade, according to Natalia, an unusual feeling appears. As if someone else is there. Shadows run in all directions, there are many of them. There Natalya saw a dog that looked more like a brownie rather than an animal - too shaggy and strange. The nearest housing is 5 kilometers from there.
In this glade, the woman communicated with the mysterious old man three times. He told that he only happens either in the morning or in the evening in this place. Natalia's husband is a journalist, he confirmed his wife's story and even said that after being in the meadow he had a special state, as if his soul was singing.
The residents of Volgograd believe that they were the ghost of Hieromonk Iliodor himself.
In the world his name was Sergei Mikhailovich Trufanov, he was born in 1880. The young man graduated from the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, and when he was tonsured a monk, he became Iliodor. In 1908, the guy was transferred to Tsaritsyn. He was in charge of the courtyard of the Holy Spirit Monastery. The monk's supporters are deep caves, and Iliodor called to go into them to save the soul.

The monk himself healed the sick, cast out demons. In Tsaritsyn, Grigory Rasputin himself visited the monk. Here the monk wanted to create the "Cult of the Sun and Reason". Fearing persecution after the revolution in 1922, Iliodor went abroad.
Natalya believes that it was his ghost that she met near Ilovlya. Seeing the photographs of Iliodor, she says that this is exactly the old man.
