Maria Beltsikova, About evil spirits


Change log

Abstract

Maria says that when she was young she knew a man called Boora who alleged to wrestle with spirits known as shulmus and almus. ​​Tsatsa near Volgograd was famous as a haunted place. Maria heard from her elders that evil spirits appear in the evening and are most active at midnight. People can protect themselves from evil spirits by staying indoors at night or reading special prayers.
