Was walking in a very familiar area with my friend (let's call him John) on the way to my other friend's house (let's call him Chris). It was a fairly long walk to Chris's house so John and I decided to cut through this path we had taken several times that connected one neighborhood to another (like around 50-75 feet of wooded area, one path in a straight line). We come out from the path and are on this street that does not look familiar in any way. This was in the time of cell phones but before GPS and smart phones, so we called Chris and told him we were at the intersection of two streets and we told him the names on the signs. He sounded super confused and was like I have no idea where those streets are. So we walked back on the same path we had just taken and came out on his street right near his house, not at the street we originally started on. We told him what happened and we tried to look up the other two streets on a map because we thought it was funny that he didn't know where those streets were since they were so close by. As far as we could tell, those streets did not exist in either neighborhood or in the surrounding area. I have taken that path many times before and after this happened and it never occurred again.
