As he told the priest, a month before this incident in different areas of the house could be heard tapping, sometimes very strong.

It all started with the fact that in one of the November days, when the priest asked the maid to throw in topissues pécs wood smoke suddenly pushed into the room. Not understanding, the priest went up to the attic and saw h Tobe the smoke hole was plugged with rags. Tonight someone has spread on the stairs of the empty bags and razbrosa room shoes. The priest, as he could, comforted his wife and children, but he had a feeling something was wrong. the next day of the empty cupboard someone threw into the room a large stone. The maid went to light the fire in the furnace and resorted to the host with the cry:

- Father, in a furnace already lit the fire!

Indeed, in a furnace full of flame, it burned wool shawls and skeins of thread. Returning from the kitchen into the hall, a poor priest could not believe my eyes - the floor was resursami handkerchiefs, combs, different things stood out who had been on the table lamp and music box and, on the contrary, the flowers with a window placed on the tables. Frightened, the priest ran into the street to call the neighbors, and soon everyone from young to old filled the house. In the presence of numerous witnesses in a furnace was on fire clothes that were pulled and filled with water, but which appeared again in the oven. Unbeknownst to all, the handles of the doors someone wrapped in rags, and shivsena the kitchen linens found himself with a fur coat in a basin of water.

But tonight during the prayer of the mysterious disappearance and appearance of various items continued. The priest after the service, all the rooms have set watchmen, but it did not help: laid on the table in front of the icons, the cross and the gospel ended up on the floor, and things were in one room, and instantly, somehow, was different. For example, the same boots were gone and were in the corridor, hallway, and even in the box of flour.

Late in the evening weary priest decided to go to bed. He put his watch on the table and covered them ogedai, but OCHA after a moment he lifted the clothing pieces on the table was not. Dragged all households, after a long search, he found them... in the pot with the milk.

The next morning the priest invited three peasants, no more to stay in the house alone with his family, but all was again still. In the stove in the kitchen was burning and then clothes, from the pipe began to fall on the oven one after Brahim seven pairs, as in an empty closet inside somebody bumped the door, and the peasants barely opened it. The corridor in the house was strewn with lingerie, dresses and scarves. A few days later the priest sent a telegram to Father John of Kronstadt asking him to pray about the house in which lodged "the evil spirits". The same day he called police, who in the house mysteriously disappeared cap.
