The Bryansk region is the region where the bloodiest battles took place during the Second World War. And there is nothing surprising in the fact that in these parts people often meet with the ghosts of soldiers. Many eyewitnesses say that these ghosts are harmless, you should not be afraid of them, and when you meet them, it is better to treat them with respect.

I will remember this day for the rest of my life. It happened on April 24, 2011 - the day of Easter. I and my nine-year-old daughter went for a walk in the nearby forest. It was warm outside, birds were singing like spring. We sat down on a log, took out colored eggs, pieces of Easter cake, sandwiches. And … froze.
In front of us, dark shapes flickered through the trees. They moved quickly between tree trunks. We heard muffled shots and automatic fires, shouts of "Hurray!" I decided that maybe this is some kind of rehearsal of the reconstruction of battles for the Victory Day. That's just, it all appeared too suddenly and also suddenly disappeared. This vision lasted twenty or thirty seconds, no longer. My daughter also saw and heard all this. We both sat with our mouths open, not understanding what it was now. When the fear passed, I decided to leave this forest somewhere far away. She left on that log all the food she brought with her, saying: rest in peace!
I was not too lazy, and found information that in that very place, many soldiers died, the remains are still found.

When I was in my second year, in order not to sit on my parents' neck, I found a part-time job as a cleaner. Almost every evening I came to scrub the offices of a business center. That evening I was late at work, it was ten o'clock, suddenly a man in a shabby Red Army uniform appeared in front of me and asked me to give me a cigarette. Being in a state of shock, I took my bag, took out an almost full pack of women's L&M Slims and gave it to the man. He took it, thanked it and disappeared into space.
I stood and did not understand what was happening. Then she screamed and rushed down in horror, where the old watchman stopped me. And he told me that at the place where this building is located, there was once a mass grave. In the sixties, the burial was moved, and this building was built in that place. But the reburial was not taken seriously, many remains remained deep under the office center in the ground.

Frankly, at one time I was engaged in not the most legitimate business - I was a black digger. In the summer of 2013, I, together with two of my friends, went to the forest to the places of former battles to find medallions, awards, weapons and everything that can be profitably sold. When in the evening we were sitting by the fire, a man in a shabby Red Army uniform approached us from the darkness and, standing a little further away, asked: “What are you looking for, guys? Past? Then he asked us for a cigarette and a hundred grams, having received what he wanted, he simply dissolved.
A moment later, from the direction of the forest, from where the warrior came, muffled sounds of machine gun fire and groans of wounded people were heard. We quickly packed up all our things, got into the car and drove away. That evening was the last of my career as a black digger.
