Svetlana Moiseeva lives in Kaliningrad, on Soldatskaya Street. Under the Germans, this old street was named after the agricultural chemist Justus Liebig. Since that time there has been a cannery on it, now it is a fish cannery. It is clearly visible from the windows of the house, where since 1985. Svetlana lives. Incidentally, this is also an old building, topped with a tiled roof and marked on the 1929 map.
Background
Svetlana Moiseeva is 49 years old, she does not use drugs, practically does not drink and does not even smoke. I have never used drugs that affect the psyche, have not experienced visual or sound hallucinations. Even having experienced clinical death at the age of 19, the girl could not boast of the visions accompanying this state - a black tunnel, bright light, her own body, observed from the side - she simply fell into darkness. In a word, this is a practical, sane and far from mystic woman. The incident that happened to her in February 1997 seems all the more striking.
The winter was very cold that year. The house where Svetlana lives is heated by the boiler room of a fish canning plant, and at that time she did not heat well, because she worked on fuel oil. The batteries practically did not heat.
The woman then lived alone. She went to bed in a sweater, sweatpants and knitted socks. Svetlana remembers well that the windows in her apartment were pasted over for the winter (and how else?), And the front door on a chain was reliably guarded by locks. Darkness never fell in the apartment itself, since its two windows "looked" at the facade of the association, which worked in three shifts and sparkled with all the windows. In addition, the plant was illuminated by searchlights and street lamps.

Alien and scary world
But then one night the woman woke up and was surprised at the darkness and unnatural silence surrounding her. It was so unusual that Svetlana got out of bed and pressed the switch - the light, however, did not come on. She went into the hallway, then into the kitchen - the lights were not on anywhere.
And then the woman suddenly realized that she was standing on the floor with bare feet, dressed in a light long dress. She ran her hand over the fabric and felt a soft, obviously natural knitwear, as it seemed to her, blue. Or maybe that's how he was "painted" by the dim light of the lantern outside the window …
Svetlana looked around and was amazed. Her apartment, filled with old furniture and many things, was now almost empty. She woke up, as it turned out, on some kind of trestle bed, and not on her favorite oak sofa. There was no stove or sink in the kitchen, but a low drawer appeared near the window - it was not even clear whether it was a seat or a cabinet.
Most of all, Svetlana was amazed when she looked out the kitchen window: the familiar building of the plant was not only not illuminated from the outside, it didn’t even have windows!.. The structure looked like a monolith, as if it had been placed in a huge, dark and shiny case. The spruce trees that grew in front of the plant and winter snow disappeared from the usual landscape …
In the courtyard, as usual, a lantern was burning, only its light for some reason was blue and completely unnatural … But the most frightening was the silence - absolute, grave. Svetlana got the feeling that there was no one else in the world except her. It was so horrible that the woman was literally shaking. Where did she go? To another dimension? To the future? To the past? How will she live here completely alone ?!
Not understanding why she was doing this, Svetlana approached the front door: the locks and chain were in order. ("Lord, what does all this mean?") Returning to the bedroom, she lay down on the only one of all the furniture on the trestle bed and covered her head with a hard, rough blanket. For a long time she tried to calm the trembling that was shaking her, and then unnoticed by herself fell asleep …
In the morning she woke up on her oak sofa, in a familiar environment. Everything was in the apartment as before, on the street - too. The world has become the same again!
About what happened to her, Svetlana told then only to her mother, but she decided that it was simply a deep, very realistic dream - it happens. But Svetlana is sure: everything that happened to her happened in reality: in that reality there were too many small details and nuances, by which it is easy to distinguish dream from reality, but which are almost impossible to explain in words. It was just an alien world, deserted and terrible, not at all like ours …
