The legend of Beneficently grandmother said Michael Dennis, born in 1976 (Record Kurbatova E., 2003, AKTIF)
Used to be the place student hostels "Venevitinov" stood the village. Lived in the village the husband and wife. They were very poor, and often they do not have enough money for a piece of bread. One day the old man went to the forest for mushrooms and met on the edge of a small person:
– What are you looking for?
– The mushrooms are collected.
I know that you have nothing that your wife whole life of prosperity dreamed of. Can help you, money will not regret.
– In fact, not free?
– Of course! You sign that piece of paper, and all you will have!
Without thinking, the man pierced pine needle finger and put a bloody blot on a clean sheet of paper. The man disappeared and in his place appeared a pot of gold. He brought the old woman's wealth. But not happy she sensed something was wrong a woman's heart.
Angry man: "Suffer you always, guarding the treasure!" And disappeared!
The old woman hid the treasure in the swamp forest and after some time died! But did not rest her soul, damn her husband to eternal suffering. Is she anyone who's close to gold: be alarmed, shakes through the woods, and maybe drown in the swamp. Often found lost students with the hunched little old lady in the backwoods.
The eyewitness testimony, referring to this legend:
Once we with the friends went to the camp Venevitinov. Lived there in tents. And then one evening we went for a walk in the woods, and did not notice that went too far. It was dusk... the roads were almost not visible...
And, as it turned out, nobody knew the area. We got lost in the woods. Later we noticed that walk in a circle, that is, in the same way. Among us started to panic. All was scary. So we wander somewhere around three o'clock.
We soon met on the road an old grandmother, who stood on the side of the road. In her hand was a twig. Near it we saw grazing cows. The forest suddenly became foggy. We thought that it would be necessary to ask this old lady the way. When we approached it closer, I noticed that she was dressed all in white...
She says: "get lost, darling?"
"Yes, – we answer, - tell me how to get to the camp site Venevitinov!"
She told us the way. When I turned back, neither the old woman nor the cow was gone...
And then we saw how through the forest runs diagonally across the white figure (somehow without a head). The head she carried armpit! Frightened, we ran toward the camp. And then we realized that it was a strange figure without a head, and who told us the road who confused us in the woods – it was beneficencia grandmother.
According to legend, once upon a time she lived on Univicioncom cordon, and was very rich. She was beheaded, and somewhere in the swamp, they say she had hidden treasures. And guards their wealth scares people, so they didn't go to her forest.
