I have never forgotten this experience. My childhood friend and I were playing in her backyard. We decided to go into the small patch of “woods” that was in her backyard to look for sticks. This small patch only covers about 1000 square feet and is the only patch of woods in a residential neighborhood. However, that day as we walked through the trees mindlessly playing, my friend started to realize we have been walking for a pretty long time and haven’t reached the other side into the neighboring yard. She was confused by this but also excited so she encouraged me to keep walking with her. I myself was a little scared because I could tell something strange was happening. After a while we reached a huge empty clearing that spanned long into the distance with more woods on the other side. There was a fence with a sign telling us not to trespass. My brave friend at this point was astounded because she had never experienced this before while being in her small woods. Knowing the map of her area and its surroundings, she knew that we should not be seeing what we were seeing and there was no possible way it could exist. She tried to climb the fence into the clearing and was urging me to follow. I was so frightened and had a terrible feeling so I pleaded with her not to cross the fence and that we should get out of the woods and tell her parents! She agreed and somehow she led us back out of the trees and into her backyard once more. We frantically told her parents what we saw and they of course told us that it wasn’t possible. The trees only covered a small area of land and had houses and roads surrounding it on all sides. The next day my friend tried to go back and find it by herself, but to no avail. And she could never find what we saw again. To this day I still think of this weird encounter and wonder if we entered some sort of alternate time line. Very strange.
