One of the local residents reported to the press about a mystical phenomenon in the village of Dabatui, Bichursky district, where people allegedly saw the ghost of a small child. He said that he once drove a friend to this village and got to a big shaman's prayer service. There he accidentally learned about the mysterious ghost story, as well as the purpose of the ceremony itself.
- People said that they had a mysterious ghost or something else in their village. It seems to be a small child who died long ago. They also said that this ritual is carried out with the aim that it no longer bothers people, says our reader Sergei.
We decided to go to this village to check what is behind this frightening rumor. Arriving in Dabatui, we began by asking local residents. At first they could not find out anything. Several men, clearly atheists, laughed. Only one young girl, on condition of anonymity, shed some light on the mysterious Bichurian ghost.
- I have seen this strange phenomenon more than once. This is the figure of a little girl who has repeatedly appeared to me. But whether it was a girl is not exactly clear, since some people claim to have seen the boy. Therefore, I cannot say who exactly it was. But people said that this child died long ago. Why his soul did not calm down, no one knows. There is a shaman in our village. Maybe she knows what it is. But we can’t say anything,”the girl explained.
She added that prayers were held in Dabatui so that the soul of this child could find peace. To our amazement, the rest of the Dabatui residents categorically advised us to ask the local shaman woman for details. Moreover, some admitted that they were forbidden to make contact with journalists.
- It is better for you not to learn anything, especially, they say, this child died a long time ago. And having learned the cause of death, you may not yourself be glad that you started digging into it. Moreover, serious prayers were held, serious spirits were summoned. And our shaman categorically forbade to say anything, so don't even poke your nose at her. And in general, lately in Dabatui many began to discover shamanic abilities, - a resident of the village told us in fright.

What could it be?
You may not believe this, but, according to ancient folk signs, a person's vision of otherworldly creatures can be one of the harbingers of an imminent death. There is a saying about this: "Nahanai bogoni bolokhodo, daldyn yumen kharagdakha" - "When the years of life are shortened, creatures of another world are seen." More often this refers to the elderly: "Dala khurezhe - daldyn nuher bolokho" - "Reaching 70, they become close to the spirits."
“To understand what kind of phenomenon is happening in Dabatui, you need to know exactly how and where it manifests itself,” explained the Bain Lama, the Lovon Lama of the Zhud-Dugan of the Ivolginsky Datsan, to us. - The behavior of the spirits of deceased people depends on the circumstances of death and observance of funeral norms. Those killed in accidents, killed and suicides behave differently in the places of their death. For example, the soul of a suicide is not aware of the fact of his death and walks among people until the lama sends her by prayer to a new rebirth.
What to do in such cases?
Cases like the appearance of the ghost in Dabatui have certainly occurred and are occurring in many villages. Why do such phenomena arise and what can be done to stop them? We learned that Buddhism uses the practice of "Jod" to destroy various spirits, the Tibetans pronounce "Chod". Many lamas practice it in Buryatia. But they do not demonstrate or advertise their abilities in public.
For there are taboos and norms of behavior, the johdcha lamas should not even show their attributes to the laity. Therefore, the best advice in this case is to contact your ancestral datsan. If his staff does not have a Jodchi Lama who has undergone special training, testing and dedication, you can ask for help at the Ivolginsky Datsan.
The elders in the villages will now tell you stories about the Zhodchi Lamas, who spent 108 days and nights in meditation near lonely graves and cemeteries, the sources of a spring, on mountain tops and near a lonely tree.
- According to the stories of the old people, a rumor spread long ago among the inhabitants of a certain nomad that the soul of one person wanders among the living after death, and a Chod Lama was invited to eradicate this. Having learned about this, the daring fellow, having decided to scare the lama, went to the burial place and took the dead man out of the coffin, lay down instead of him. The priest came at the appointed time and began to read prayers, the guy in the coffin stirred.
He was not frightened, sat down on the coffin and, pressing down the lid, carried out the ceremony to the end and left. After some time, that young man fell ill and confessed to his parents that he had committed such a prank. They hurriedly went to the lama, to which they were told: nothing can be returned, his soul was taken to another world. The guy later died, - the scientist Galina Galdanova cited the stories of old-timers.
Precautionary measures
It was forbidden to call the spirits by their true names out loud, so that they could not approach a person and harm him. It was forbidden to call and call out to people by name in the "red dawn" - the hour of sunset. In the old days, in the evening and at night, no one was loudly called by name, especially children. Better to just call out a neutral "hey"! You shouldn't have gone to bed in the evening, hit the road.
