A terrible story that happened with Russian hunters

Ordinary Russian hunter told about a seemingly unremarkable (in terms of some kind of mystery) the case that once happened to him and his comrades. Our compatriot went together with three friends to fish in the forest. The hunters wandered in the evening in the dead of the thicket, and remained, unfortunately, without matches. Mobile phones and satellite navigation in those days did not exist.

Was a cold late autumn weather had turned bad, and lost the poor fellow began with the onset of darkness to freeze. Suddenly we came to a deserted hut – very poor, with only one door and no Windows. Our heroes went inside and found a table with a bench in the middle. No food in this cabin was not. However, the hunters were pleased and such a discovery – at least the rain never pours and the wind blows to the bone.

However, to NAP in the cabin failed. Without fire inside it was so cold that the comrades and soon it began to literally die.

Something in this story doesn't add up. There were four of you, and in the corners of the Lodge also had four, right? You take turns running from one corner to another, pushing each other. That is one of you constantly running away, and one corner has always remained empty. To each of you every time to push the other, you had to have a five – four stand at the corners, and one runs!

The narrator, who perfectly remembered that "torch" in the dark and had not seen in her before no logical contradictions, and frowned. Counting in his head, he turned pale. Indeed, if the teammates take turns running around the shed and each time pushed each other in every corner, so among them, it turns out, was someone fifth! So hunters and lived all these years without even knowing that is touched, then in a forest hut with something frightening, inexplicable and potentially dangerous...
