One of two sacred boulders lying near one another on the south side of the Golosov Gully in Kolomenskoe Park in Moscow. According to urban legends the Golosov Gully is reputed to be a place of high paranormal activity. The Goose Stone is asserted to heal men's specific illnesses so it is not unusual to see two or three men sitting on the stone and getting its energy.
