Revenge for a dead friend

The old-timers of the village, the Shame that is on a river in a remote Siwa Perm taiga, tell you that all the events described happened in their village in the late XVIII century. It was then a small village became the centre of mysterious events.

It began with the fact that the village has spread a rumour that would be at night in the neighborhood wandering Goblin, who can't talk, but very cunning and smart. There were rumors that the creature avoids meetings with men, but abducting women, which then keeps in the pits, feeds, meat and mushrooms and lives with them as husband. The alleged result of these unions children were born, covered with hair. Eyewitnesses claimed that in the summer the spirit of the forest "grazing" on the berries in the tundra, stealing bird eggs, young animals, and in the autumn, fleeing from hunger and cold, go to the South, stealing along the way in the local villages reserves of dried fish or frozen meat, and sometimes crushes in the yards of tied cattle.

Residents believed that this creature is a descendant of South cave bears, and called it forest, and Lesovik just the demon, but it was not a bear. A normal bear would never have done what we have done that thing. One day, two hunters of Shame once was hunting bear and dusk shot of some large animal. When they approached the prey, that this beast was a female Goblin. People skinned the creatures, and took with him to the village. After that, it started something incredible: the Goblin began to pursue the hunters and day and night, making it all kinds of mischief. Fighting off his pursuers, the hunters were fire at him, but the buckshot didn't take it. In the end, as one would expect, the hunters never returned from a hike in the woods. But the death of the offenders did not stop the mysterious creature.

Soon it appeared in the village, in the yard, which was adorned with the skin of leachii. First, the Goblin tore a tethered dog, then sheep in the paddock. Then knocked out all the Windows and started banging on the door. To appease the devil was only when he gave the skin of a murdered friend.

With regard to the future inhabitants of that house, after a dreadful night visit one of the women who were in the house, went mad, and the other stopped talking, and the third lost his eyesight, a few months later their house burned down. But the misfortunes of the family continued: as people said, all the girls from this generation, reaching adulthood, was barren or died from cancer, and men died from accidents under mysterious circumstances.
