there is a special creature that is called “domovoi”. he keeps your house, it’s not a ghost. People in villages still belive in him, although it’s a pagan, since Russia was a pagan country. I also know about “leshiy”. “Leshiy” is like a devil, he lives in swamps and forests. I think you’ve heard about baba yaga and kashey bessmertniy, the heroes about russian fairy tales. i don’t have enough space here, but if you’re intersted e-mail me.
