There is something growing in the Woods behind my house

{I'm currently living in a big house in rural Russia. The nearest town is roughly an hour-long drive away and if you leave out the village another 10 minutes in the other direction I have about 3 neighbors. The house is big. especially since I'm the only one living inside. I inherited it when my uncle died last year and when I graduated college I moved here with my dog Igor. There isn't much to do but we get along just fine. Occasionally the old lady Elena that lives next door would invite me over to have some tea or coffee. She too lives alone, though her house is tiny. There is one other house on this vast part of the land but I'm not quite sure who or even if anyone lives in it. As I said before, I quite like it here and nothing weird had happened for a while. Till last month that is. }
