In the fall of 2013, Ivan Kolesnikov, a resident of Kirov, found himself 10 kilometers from the place where he was supposed to pick mushrooms.
A strange incident happened on September 10th. At nine o'clock in the afternoon, the man got off the minibus and went to pick mushrooms in a place in front of the pond in the village of Kostino. I moved to the BKhZ area.
- I have been going there for thirty years. The reference point was kept at the ash dump of TPP-4. Before lunch I noticed that the trees had grown, and instead of a landmark, there was a city dump. Then I realized that something was wrong. He ended up on the other side of the Moscow highway, although he remembered that he had not crossed it. I stood and wondered: how could I cross this path unnoticed, - says Ivan Kolesnikov.

- There are many similar cases all over the world. Sometimes such movements in space are also accompanied by movement in time. The causes and mechanisms of the anomaly are still unclear. However, a significant part of such incidents cannot be classified as anomalous, since they can be explained.
The peculiarities of the terrain in combination with the human psyche sometimes give the effects of a "prodigal place", - commented on the case with the mushroom picker Yuri Kalinogorsky, head of the Kirov-Kosmopoisk group.
One of the first cases of teleportation was recorded on October 25, 1593.
