In the village of Zaburovo, a sorcerer died for a long, painfully long time. He was old and wanted death himself, but she still did not go.
Why? The whole village whispered about this in those days: a sorcerer cannot die until he gives someone his gift. To do this, it is enough for him to touch a person … But none of his relatives wanted such a “gift”. So the old man toiled.
Finally, he gave up, stopped begging his sons to come closer to him. And soon he pointed with his eyes at the ceiling above him and ordered to disassemble it …
There is a popular belief that when a witch or sorcerer dies and cannot die in any way, it is necessary to dismantle the roof or at least the corner of the house above the place where the dying person's bed stands. And you also need to unlock all locks and locks in the house, open the door. This seems to help the sorcerer move away.
The sons obeyed, called the neighbors, began to dismantle the roof. We were almost done when we heard the old man laugh from the house. Sensing something was wrong, we went down from the roof. And the sorcerer's granddaughter Masha comes out of the entrance. She admitted that she felt sorry for her grandfather, who moaned and kept asking for water. So she brought him a cup. And the old man in the hut was laughing …
According to the researcher A. Gorbovsky, who recorded this story, the relatives then took the girl to church and chastised her with prayers. But it didn't help. She accepted the gift. And now the witch Masha is well known not only in the surrounding villages, people come to her from the city, and even from the region.
Not everyone will be chosen by the sorcerer as his successor. But even if the choice is made, this does not mean that this person is able to cope with the unusual "gift". For others, this turns into a real disaster.
Here is another story stored in the archives of researchers of such phenomena.
Promotional video:
… Marfa Petrovna was called a witch behind her back and they were afraid of her "evil eye" like fire. As soon as the old woman looked at some kid on the street, he began to be capricious and sick. She herself died at 86. But how! All loved ones were forced to leave home because things went berserk there. And the neighbors even called the police - there was such a roar in the apartment that people thought that relatives were killing granny.
But, apparently, the old witch did not manage to transfer her witchcraft inheritance to anyone during her lifetime.
When Martha Petrovna was buried, she lay in a coffin covered in bruises - marks from the end of the house. But on the street, as soon as the body was taken to the bus, a strange thing began. Suddenly it got colder, a hurricane wind blew, a blizzard began.
A resident of the Amur Region Alexandra Ch. (Granddaughter of Marfa Petrovna) says:
- When at the cemetery I went to the grave to hang a wreath, I suddenly felt that someone grabbed my legs with both hands at the ankles. Despite the wind and cold, sweat broke out. She tried to tear her legs off the ground, leave, but the unknown force would not let go. The absurd situation lasted for a minute, but then it seemed to me that an eternity had passed. Now I don’t remember how I returned home. But since then my adventures have begun.
I remember writing my thesis at night. Suddenly I hear someone scratching at the front door. I thought it was our cat. I opened it, and there was no one there. Suddenly a clamshell creaked behind her. I went to her, and a strange breeze was blowing in her face, even her hair was swaying. I straightened them and then I got such a slap that even sparks fell from my eyes. And at home, as you know, no one. Since then I am afraid to sleep without light …
One more case. One summer night I was sitting and sewing myself a new dress - in the morning I was going to fly to my friend in Zaporozhye. It's hot outside, so the windows are open, but the curtains are drawn. Suddenly I see with peripheral vision, some lights and shadows flickering between the curtains. For some reason I was not scared at first, I say: "Come in, Master, it will be more fun!" This is how I, so I invited the brownie …
A gray, smoky cloud appeared on the chair in front of me. It shifted, as if making itself comfortable, and suddenly a luminous eye the size of a saucer stared at me from it. Can you imagine what happened to me?
Such "misunderstandings" persecute Alexandra Ch. Constantly. She believes that she caught this "infection" in the cemetery - many years ago, when she was burying her grandmother-witch.
If you believe the messages that come to us from time to time from researchers of this kind of phenomena, you can sometimes become infected with "devilry" without any participation of witches and sorcerers. It is enough just to go to the cemetery.
… Incredible events unfolded in the apartment of Stefa Grigaitienė from the Lithuanian town of Veshvele after she returned from the local cemetery after the day of commemoration of the dead.
That same evening, something began to creak and tap in a previously quiet apartment … At night, the noise intensified. And soon the incredible began. For no apparent reason, furniture began to topple over, dishes flew off the shelves.
Some "miracles" were by no means harmless. Before the eyes of the hostess, a pan with cooking meat flew off the stove and … disappeared without a trace. Torn off by an unknown force flew across the room and stuck a sharply sharpened knife at the very feet of the bewildered woman.
Further more. Strange wounds began to appear on Grigaitene's legs and side. The doctor who examined the affected areas said that it looked like a trophic ulcer. And a local psychic explained: this is possible when a supernatural force absorbs a person's energy.
The rumor about "invisibility" quickly spread around the town. Among other curious people, journalists came to visit Stefa. They examined the scene and interviewed witnesses. Eyewitnesses said that before their eyes, lids were flying off the pots, chairs were turning in place, and one man was pushed by a furious table against the wall. During impromptu experiments, the "spirit" was asked questions, and he very willingly explained himself to the curious by knocking.
For example, the question was asked: "How many people are sitting in the room?" Or: "How many of them have a gold watch?" And the invisible man was never wrong.
Local residents believe that the spirit of a girl who once also lived in this house, but several years ago committed suicide because of unhappy love, settled in the house of Stefa Grigaitene and was buried in the same cemetery that Grigaitene visited on the day of remembrance.
Curious journalists went to the abbot of the local church with a request from Grigaitienė to consecrate her apartment, at the same time to ask if, from the point of view of a clergyman, the spirit of a suicide girl was able to burn out ulcers on the skin of unfortunate Stefa, and at the same time snatch a pot of meat? But the priest declined to comment on the event in any way.
Specialists in anomalous phenomena call such anomalous manifestations poltergeist. But this is only a word that does not explain anything, because the essence of the phenomenon remains a mystery. This phenomenon has not only not yet been studied, but even officially does not exist.
It would be appropriate to say that poltergeists occur not only among "ordinary citizens". The invisible man raged both in the apartment of the pilot-cosmonaut V. Aksenov and at the house of the physicist, a full member of the Academy of Energy Information Sciences, O. Dobrovolsky. However, this did not in any way affect the "official circles" and did not force them to change their demonstratively skeptical attitude towards the poltergeist.
We will not consider here all the features of known poltergeists and all the hypotheses that explain them. And we mentioned this yet unexplained phenomenon only due to the fact that it is often accompanied by the so-called "gift of the sorcerer." However, in no case should you hang the stigma of a "sorcerer" on people in whose homes a "noisy spirit" is raging. First of all, these people are victims of a phenomenon that has not yet been studied.
