Supernatural beings and events are real. How to know your supernatural abilities
As a result of my communication with people who are fond of esotericism, occultism and other, as they call them, supernatural things, I noticed that they divide the world into natural, i.e. in their understanding, knowable with the help of science and supernatural, in the explanation of which science is powerless. Such an approach, alas, speaks of a complete misunderstanding of the essence of what science actually does and what it is all about. Therefore, in this article I would like to explain it.
First of all, it is necessary to refute the common misconception that science explains anything. This is not so and it is absolutely not included in its functions. Indeed, what is an explanation in the common sense? This is just a reduction of something new or incomprehensible to a form in which this new or incomprehensible becomes familiar and thereby creates the illusion of understandability. For example, in the past, many people wondered why bodies fall down and all sorts of philosophical explanations were invented for this - bodies fall because. everything came from the earth and therefore stretches back, as well as many other similar profound philosophical explanations that have no practical meaning.
With the advent of Newton's theory of gravitation, the fall of bodies to the ground began to be explained by the action of gravity, and this explanation, which became familiar over time, was firmly rooted in the minds of people. But if you look closely at this explanation in itself ( those. without patterns identified by Newton and recorded by him in mathematical form), you can see that it is no better than the philosophical explanations that existed before Newton. And, it should be noted that Newton himself was perfectly aware of this.
So to the question, what kind of force is this and how can this force of gravity be transmitted through empty space, he answered - "I do not invent hypotheses!" It follows that major achievement Newton was not what he called or explained ( by the way, as a smart person, he didn’t explain it at all) a phenomenon in which bodies fall down and are attracted to each other ( would he call it instead of gravity, for example "longing bodies for each other" or somehow the essence of this would not change), but the fact that he deduced certain patterns clothed by him in a mathematical form, with the help of which he, having certain information ( mass of bodies, distance between them, etc.) could give correct predictions. Thus, the main goal of science is to give, on the basis of available data, the most accurate forecasts possible at the present time, and it is absolutely unimportant in what area.
What many in science take for explanations is actually either a description of the technique by which these predictions are actually made, or a description of the mental constructions or models by which this predictive technique was developed. With understanding as such, neither one nor the other has anything in common. So, for example, the laws of quantum mechanics contradict ordinary human logic, and therefore it cannot be said that anyone understands them or can explain them. But this in no way prevents us from using all the same laws of quantum mechanics to predict the results of scientific experiments with a high degree of accuracy.
In fact, it can be said that any theory is the more scientific, the more accurate predictions within the theoretically possible maximum accuracy, it gives. In other words, science is what works. From this point of view, Einstein's theory of relativity is better than the classical Newtonian theory only in that it gives more accurate predictions and this is most pronounced at speeds approaching light. As a result of the above, it becomes clear why the scientific approach to increasing, say, fertility, expressed in the use of fertilizers, etc. better than the occult, expressed in offerings to all sorts of gods of fertility and all sorts of religious rituals. It's only better because it's much more productive.
Productivity is determined by statistical studies. AND if statistical studies have shown that offerings to fertility gods and various religious rituals would be more effective than the methods currently used by science, then the above-mentioned "supernatural" methods would be recognized in the scientific community as completely scientific and would cease to be supernatural due to this recognition .
Another thing is that the scientific approach is a very pedantic and meticulous thing, and therefore a lot of research would have been carried out determining, for example, the relationship between different kind offerings to the gods of harvest and a percentage increase in harvest as a result of this. After that, in the end, as a result of numerous experiments, a summary table would be compiled, in which there would be clear recommendations to which deity, in what form, what and when offerings should be made in order to achieve the most favorable ratio of resources spent and time to the harvest obtained. .
As for the same rituals, many dissertations would certainly have been defended, in which, for example, the dependence of the harvest on the duration of ritual chants, etc., would be considered. Those. V this case the same painstaking scientific work without any admixture of mysticism or anything supernatural. From all that has been said, it follows that the very principle of the organization of science makes such a concept as "supernatural" meaningless. either something has a place to be and works, and then science deals with it, or this something simply does not exist, and then there is nothing to talk about.
True, there is one frequently encountered objection from supporters of the supernatural, that in its field there are still things that work, but, nevertheless, are not recognized by science. For example, we can talk about healing through prayer, etc. To begin with, I would like to give the following example. Suppose we find some savage and teach him how to drive a tractor. At the same time, everything necessary actions for driving, we will justify how rituals are necessary to please, for example, certain spirits that actually live in this iron beetle. We will also tell the savage that before and after driving, he must read a special prayer composed by us and perform a ritual dance, otherwise the spirits can break out of the iron beetle and kill him.
Thus, we have a ritual system that works fine - a tractor is driven by a savage, but which is not fully scientific. And now we will find out why. It's all about the well-known Occam's razor, which does not order to multiply entities beyond necessity and with the help of which science cuts off everything superfluous that does not affect the final result. Indeed, the tractor would have run fine without prayers and ritual dances a savage and in general the idea that spirits are sitting inside a tractor is in no way necessary for its operation, in contrast to at least a superficial understanding of the diesel engine and the principles of driving. Likewise, healings through prayer, various states of religious trance and ecstasy, etc. are perfectly described within the framework of psychosomatics, placebo studies and other traditional areas of science.
And finally, let's consider the last objection of the supporters of the "supernatural", which boils down to the fact that many, including world-famous scientists, were not alien to the fascination with the supernatural. In fact, if you look closely, you can understand that there is no contradiction in this. It is only necessary to pay attention to the fact that it was in those areas in which the above-mentioned scientists strictly followed the scientific approach that they achieved results that made them world famous scientists. It is hardly to be expected that a person with outstanding talent and sound thinking in one area, will have an equally outstanding talent in all other areas. So a person who is an outstanding physicist may well carry complete nonsense in the field, for example, biology or economics, well, or get involved in something occult. But he will receive outstanding results in the field of physics only as long as he does not deviate from scientific approach, which consists in identifying patterns that allow you to give the most accurate possible on currently predictions based on available data.
The supernatural has always attracted the attention of many people of all nationalities on all continents. This inexhaustible, permanent interest has invariably influenced myths, religious performances, folklore and even everyday life of every nation. It is possible to study and discuss all this heritage indefinitely. In this article, we will touch on this phenomenon only from one side - from the side of the inhabitants of which we usually call "supernatural beings". A list and description of all such creatures in full would make up a whole library, so we will limit ourselves to the most famous and popular in contemporary culture creatures.
Gnomes
The word "gnome" translated from Latin stands for underground dweller. These creatures are known in almost all regions of the earth where there is a mountainous area or desert. The traditional, familiar image of a gnome comes from German-Scandinavian folklore, but is also known among the Slavs (for example, Polish dwarves are relatives of gnomes). Their own dwarf people, living in mountain dungeons, is also found in the Urals, where they are called either a miracle, or a bunch. According to popular legends, these supernatural creatures are engaged in jewelry making, mining of all kinds of treasures and, among other things, have significant knowledge in medicine.
The nature of the gnomes
By itself, the word "dwarf", according to one version, began to be used in the 16th century by Paracelsus, the famous European doctor and occultist. He used it to designate the spirits of the earth - the elementals. The latter are supernatural beings that set in motion the world, by influencing one of the four primary elements - earth, air, fire or water. So, the spirits, called gnomes by Paracelsus, just lived in the elements of the earth. Later, this term began to denote the entire list of supernatural beings living, according to legend, underground and united by common features - appearance, craft, etc.
goblins
Goblins are another category of supernatural neighbors of humans. In general, they can be considered as distant relatives gnomes. They also live underground, in mountain gorges dotted with caves. Like the dwarves in many legends, goblins do not tolerate the light of the sun. But if the gnomes are still representatives of Scandinavian and German folklore, then the goblin is a character from Romanesque culture. These supernatural creatures got their very name from the old French language.
The appearance of goblins is described in legends very differently. But the invariable feature of all of them is an incredible ugliness. Goblins are human-like, ranging in height from thirty centimeters to two meters. When necessary, they can turn into beautiful people. But they always give out long ears, claws on the hands and sinister animal eyes. The only exception to the rule is the English hobgoblins, who play the role of cute brownies in British folklore, which we will talk about next.
Brownies
Creatures that are known in Russia under the name of brownies are perhaps the most common character in world folklore. Of course, they are described in different ways and interacted with in different ways, but everywhere these creatures top the list of supernatural beings. IN Slavic tribes they were also called kutny gods. The brownie lives with the family in their home and monitors the economy, security and a favorable atmosphere. However, if the owners are negligent, then he can also appear as a formidable, frightening creature. There was no consensus about where this keeper of home comfort comes from. Someone believed that this was a manifestation of the first ancestor, the progenitor of the genus. Others insisted that it was a deceased family member. With the Christianization of Rus', faith in brownies did not disappear, but opinions began to prevail among the people that it was either a spirit sent by God, or, conversely, petty demon, planted by the devil, in order to harm the inhabitants as much as possible. However, there was also a belief that unrepentant sinners become brownies, whom God sends as a punishment to serve people as spirit protectors.
Russian brownies
One way or another, the brownie was the one on whom the well-being of the family depended. Therefore, with him they always tried to build good relations. It was customary to feed the brownie, leaving a plate of food for him in a special place. The grateful spirit protected the dwelling from thieves, from fire, averted troubles and misfortunes. The brownie was especially concerned about livestock, and mainly about horses. It was believed that at night he was busy in the stable, taking care that the horse did not remain hungry or unkempt. Like other supernatural beings, in Russia it was believed that the brownie could predict the future. For example, if at night you hear a roar, howling, crying and similar ominous signs, then you have to wait for trouble. If at night there is a quiet laugh, joyful exclamations and the like, then a pleasant surprise awaits the family.
In some legends, female brownies also appear. In some cases, we are even talking about entire families of brownies. However, this is much less common in folklore.
dragons
Dragons are very popular supernatural creatures with hundreds of varieties all over the world. Currently, their popularity is increasing, thanks to the mass passion for the fantasy genre in art. legends about supernatural beings, similar in appearance to huge lizards, cutting through the airspace and breathing fire, are known literally on all continents among all tribes and peoples. Story line in them can be very different, respectively different and cultural codes and the symbols they carry. In Asia, for example, dragons are the wisest creatures who descended from heaven and gave people knowledge, culture, medicine, taught them magic, agriculture and morality. In the West, on the contrary, they were chthonic monsters, carrying with them only death and destruction. In Christian times, the dragon was often associated with the devil, but at the same time it was a favorite heraldic symbol. The battle with him for the sake of saving a woman or acquiring wealth is a characteristic plot for European as well as Slavic folklore.
Unicorns
Our list of supernatural beings continues like this interesting character like a unicorn. He is depicted, as a rule, in the form of a horse with a beautiful straight horn growing from his forehead.
Most early images of this animal originate from India, and their age is estimated at four thousand years. Gradually, from Asia, this character penetrated into ancient Greece and Rome. However, there he was considered a very real animal. Such beliefs spread among the Greeks thanks to a doctor named Ctesias, who spent many years in Persia, and upon returning to his homeland in Hellas, described in his writings massive Indian donkeys with a horn growing on their foreheads. All this took place in the 5th century and was later popularized by Aristotle. The traditional equine appearance of the unicorn today was not originally taken for granted. He was represented both with the body of a goat and a bull, and according to some descriptions, this creature looked more like a rhinoceros.
Unicorns in later legends
In late Western European myths, the unicorn appeared as a ferocious creature, a meeting with which promised death. But, being the personification of morality and holiness, this creature could only be tamed by a virgin and kept in submission only by a golden bridle. It is not surprising that with the spread of Catholicism, this animal became one of the emblems of the Virgin Mary. His enemies were elephants and lions. Belief in them was so strong in Europe and Russia that as early as the 19th century, naturalistic studies were carried out to find out whether supernatural beings called unicorns really exist or not. Some European monarchs, including those who were proud that their wands are attributes royal power- made from the horn of this animal. There was even a European market for the sale and purchase of these horns, in which Russian merchants (mostly Pomors) played an important role. Today it has been established that these horns actually belonged to narwhals.
Werewolves
Werewolves are another supernatural being, the list of varieties of which exceeds all conceivable limits. But they all have common feature They have the ability to transform from humans into animals and vice versa. Most often these are wolves, but in fact there are legends in which heroes turned into birds, fish, and other animals. The difference between the reincarnations of werewolves from other magical transformations is that they do it either of their own free will or under certain conditions, but in any case they turn back into people. In Russian mythology, even one of the heroes named Werewolf had this ability, according to folk tales, and Prince Extremely popular similar stories in Indian, Scandinavian and Celtic mythologies. In addition, the ability for such reincarnations was almost everywhere assigned to sorcerers and witches. During the time of the Inquisition, the accusation of such an act served as a pretext for initiating an investigation into connections with the devil.
Sometimes they distinguished werewolves from birth and those who became such for some reason. That person could be born a werewolf, whose mother during pregnancy ate the meat of an animal killed by a wolf, or bore the curse of werewolf herself. And to acquire the ability to turn into animals, one could either magically, or become an apostate. It was believed that in the latter case, a person becomes a werewolf, however, after death. The latter are joined by children who died not baptized. Accordingly, some werewolves experience this ability as a curse, while others use it as a magical gift and know how to control this ability.
Ghosts and Ghosts
Ghosts are, perhaps, the only supernatural beings whose list and photos can be viewed from strictly scientific positions. This phenomenon is so unprecedented that it goes beyond the boundaries of myths and legends and is part of Everyday life. And today there are a lot of people who even grew up in the conditions of an advanced civilization, but, moreover, are confident in the existence of ghosts. Moreover, great amount eyewitnesses claims to have had or are having contact with them. It's about not only about mediums and parapsychologists, but also about specialists who are within the framework of strict academic science. However, the number of the latter is small. But the amount of eyewitness testimony, mysterious photographs and video footage of ghosts is overwhelming.
According to the most common belief, ghosts are the souls of dead people. Why do they appear in this world and what is their nature - there is no unity of opinion. But practically no one has any doubts that the dead appear in the form of translucent silhouettes.
Mermaids
Finishing off our list of supernatural creatures are mermaids. In modern culture, this is a very ambivalent character. It must be said right away that beautiful maidens with fish tails- These are not mermaids, these are sea maidens. Mermaids, on the other hand, are girls of a completely human appearance, originating from Slavic legends. In pre-Christian times, they were considered the spirits of rivers, and after Christianization, the opinion spread that drowned women who committed suicide become mermaids. They are not accepted for them in the afterlife, and therefore they are forced to serve their sentence on earth, living at the bottom of the river. The only night the mermaids come ashore is at night
Conclusion
As already mentioned, the characters listed above are far from all supernatural beings. Their list can be continued up to tens and hundreds of thousands of names, if you delve into the beliefs of each people in detail. The curious will no doubt be able to do this and find much more new unknown material.
Now many people constantly talk about otherworldly forces and extrasensory perception. There are programs on TV that tell about those who have a special gift. However, many people are skeptical of the supernatural and believe similar broadcasts fiction. But is it? Is it true that all kinds of psychics and programs about them are just a “divorce” of naive viewers, or perhaps there is still something in this world that cannot be seen by ordinary people? human eye?

Law of energy conservation
Even the most inveterate skeptics and materialists must remember the law of conservation of energy, which never disappears into nowhere. All the information that a person accumulates throughout life, all his feelings and emotions - this is energy. As we used to say, soul. And after death human soul, as a clot of energy and information is in the energy flow that is around the earth. But, as we all know, the stronger the information, the stronger the feelings, the stronger this energy. Therefore, it often happens that even after death, a person is felt on this earth. Everything is explained very simply: he is either too attached to one of the living and his feelings are so strong that even after death energy remains, or before death he experienced severe stress and emotions, so the energy also greatly increased in size and became tangible.
Non-materialists believe that human energy does not just exist, it also has a mind. That is, the soul is, in fact, the person. And the body is just a shell, like any earthly clothing. Their opinion is confirmed by the appearance of the dead in their dreams, visions and so on. On the other hand, it is difficult to say that such manifestations of otherworldly essence can absolutely confirm the presence of reason in the so-called soul. Perhaps, when we see and feel something, it is our subconscious that simply draws energy from the global flow of information. But nevertheless, the fact that human energy and energy does not disappear into nowhere, but into special occasions it may even become visible, but it is worth recognizing. In addition, the reality of the appearance of otherworldly entities called souls is confirmed by a huge number of people. Moreover, some of them believe in otherworldly forces, while others are skeptical. Therefore people different words describe what they saw, but the meaning always remains the same - the dead come to them, both relatives and friends, and completely unfamiliar personalities, about whom they, even with a strong desire, could not draw information from the energy shell of the earth.
Mythical undead
There are many stories, myths and legends about various otherworldly creatures and substances. Each of us has been familiar with goblin, brownies, mermaids, werewolves, vampires and so on since childhood. But are these creatures a product of folk fantasy or are they really real? Firstly, it is worth thinking about the fact that every nation of the world has its own legends and myths. But if you do not pay attention to the different names of creatures and some differences in their descriptions, all stories about the other world describe several dozen such creatures. For example, in any mythology there are stories about a creature that is very similar to our brownie or goblin. In the lakes of all countries and peoples must live beautiful girls, bringing death to those who fall into their eyes. And if such a large number of people from different ends worlds describe such creatures, then perhaps they still exist, because thousands of people cannot fantasize in the same way.
In addition, unlike the dead, people see similar entities much more often. Almost every one of us has experienced at least one story related to some otherworldly creatures throughout our lives. In fact, as psychics say, such entities also have energy. They appear at the moment when there is a strong surge of energy. Let's say some kind of mass murder happens, many people experience pain and fear, and so on. In this case, at the place where the incident happened, a strong energy imprint is formed, as it were, which does not disappear for many years and frightens people. Of course, this bunch of energy can be not only bad, but also good. If you constantly imagine a certain entity, like, for example, your angel, endowing it with the qualities of a helper and protector, in the end, you can really have a positive energy substance near you that will protect you and help you achieve what you wish.
But if all this is just energy, then why do people see similar creatures? Perhaps the point here is that such entities once had real prototypes. After all, it is not known what was on our earth before. There are suggestions that there was an intelligent race with the remnants of the representatives of which ours met. distant ancestors. Perhaps this race possessed certain technologies that were mistaken for supernatural powers, perhaps they mutated, so our mythological characters they look like women with fish tails and men with the body of a horse. Of course, this is just a theory, but it may well have the right to life, if you look at the supernatural from a more materialistic point of view. And that is why the descendants of those first people see supernatural entities similar images. They simply select the most suitable images from their past and connect them with energy entities that have always existed on any planet and in any dimension. Due to the fact that a large number of people begin to give this or that entity a certain image, over time it really begins to look they just mix.
That is why, returning to the question of belief or disbelief in otherworldly forces, one thing can be said: the energy and energy of everything that is on this earth is very powerful. It simply cannot fall into nowhere and be dispersed in the world, since there is such a thing as memory. In the meantime, we remember who we are, our energy simply cannot crumble into a thousand pieces and scatter throughout the universe. In addition, human memory can energize huge force. It is the memory of a blunder that becomes the core for the creation of various negative entities. So, to believe or not to believe in the other world is your choice.
It's no secret that people are always interested in the unknown. Most and mysterious creatures cause genuine interest, as well as influence the legends and folklore different countries and peoples.
In this article, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the least known creatures, however, no less scary and frightening. Whether they are mythical is up to you.
There are two alternative versions appearance of the wendigo.
- Based on the first, it is believed that a brave warrior sold his soul in order to protect his tribe from an impending threat. After the tribe was saved, he went into the forest and was never seen again.
- Another version says that the wendigo began to lose its human appearance due to the use of black magic, and was also a cannibal. In any case, in the end, this monster appeared.
Many compare it with, but outwardly it is completely different from. And the behavior of the wendigo has significant features.
Growth exceeds the average, but you can’t call it huge. However, he is very thin. According to some descriptions, it is clear that sometimes parts of the body may be missing due to frostbite: toes, the tip of the ear or nose. The body is covered with matted hair, or may be completely bald.
Wendigo love to hunt down their prey. Overtaking a lonely traveler, they begin to frighten him by making sounds. When the person begins to look around for the source of the sound, the wendigo attacks.
It will not be possible to escape, because wendigo are very fast and hardy. As a rule, no one manages to survive after meeting with this monster.
The only way to kill this monster is to stick an iron or silver blade in the heart.
The folklore of every country is filled with stories of reborn people who have received new abilities. One of these creatures was the shtriga, or strix.
Being people from birth, they turned into because of addiction eat human flesh.
In the Middle Ages, shtriga belonged to witches. It is possible that they could be a kind of vampire ancient rome.
Ultimately shtrigs are dead mythical creatures, but using the life force of the killed families, prolongs its existence.
You can only kill a monster with a red-hot iron while eating.
Draugs or Draugrs
Like shtrigi, they were originally human. But after death, they turned into the living dead. 
The draugs live in a cemetery, next to the graves of the Vikings. Approaching any settlement, they sow fear and death, destroying everything in their path.
Surprisingly, draugs are mentioned in some books. For example, "The Saga of the People from the Sandy Shore" tells about Thorolf.
Being a draugr, he killed people, after which the valley was empty. Draugs are also mentioned in the Saga of the Sand Valley Men.
These monsters love to inhabit the tombs of rich people, thus protecting their property from thieves.
Draughs are strong, have pale skin, and are able to grow in size. After killing a person, the monster first drinks his blood, and then begins to eat him.
It is believed that draugs appear in the form of smoke, being released from their graves.
Icelandic legends they say that the only way to kill a draugr is to cut off its head, then burn it and scatter the ashes over the sea water.
These mythical creatures prefer to live near the sea coasts. Freed from the graves, they are looking for victims among the sailors.
They can take on many different forms, causing people to be scared to death. For example, instead of a head, algae grow.
Nautical legends say that draugs can take the form of stone or seaweed. Before you step on something like that, you need to spit on it.
If the draug gets on the ship in the form of a stone, then the ship is doomed to death along with the entire crew. And sometimes draugs can be harbingers of death.
ghouls
The word "ghouls" comes from Arabic myths and refers to demons. They lived in cemeteries, and according to legend, they are the descendants of the Iblis.
Iblis are genies who have an analogue in Christianity - Satan. Iblis harass women, and if they succeeded, then ghouls appeared.
Iblis could wander the earth, since Allah thus tested people: whether Iblis could sow immorality and vice in their heads.
According to some reports, ghouls are those living in the desert, capable of taking the form of hyenas or other animals.
Luring the wanderers deep into the depths, the ghouls ate them. They gave preference to children, but sometimes they did not disdain the dead.
They most often take the form of werewolves, but can take the form of any creature they kill, including humans and animals.
In order to renew their appearance, they shed their old skin like snakes.
In appearance, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a real person or a shapeshifter.
The only thing that gives them away is the glow of the eyes, which can only be seen on video frames or photographs.
Familiars. Black Dogs
Witches wielding black magical powers, give birth to peculiar animals - familiars.
These mythical creatures are connected to the master by demonic bonds or magic.
European witches prefer cats, weasels, toads or owls. Shamans use a totem as a familiar.
Black dogs can also be familiars of black witches.
ancient English legend talks about Black Shaka, who foreshadowed death by his appearance. In 1577, A. Fleming described his appearance in the book Strange and Terrible Miracle.
The dogs appear in bright flashes of light, just as they disappear, but the place is chosen exclusively for witchcraft.
Japanese legends black dogs are also mentioned, which were sacrificed to call rain. In Asia, the blood of black dogs was considered a powerful talisman.
Reaper
To summon this creature, you need an altar, as well as a number of magical items for the ritual: human blood and a special cross.
After the Reaper appears, he takes the life of the one who called him to restore balance.
The reaper is not a demon, it's just the appearance of death, which was called the psychopomp.
They served as a kind of guide to the afterlife. Charon in Greece, Valkyries in Norway, Anubis in Egypt, and so on. Some shamans, for example, are psychopomps themselves.
Reapers have power over time and people's minds. It can change the vision of the world, of the person himself.
The appearance of the Reaper is different for each individual case, but it is generally accepted that he is in rags or funeral clothes.
There is speculation that Peter Pan was some kind of guide to the afterlife, as the book describes how he accompanied the children on their journey after death.
Lycanthropy
In the Middle Ages, this phenomenon was associated with sorcerers who wore magical clothes or a belt.
As they are also called, they covered the body with a potion, put on a special belt and turned into a wolf with great strength and endurance. Later, the myth of the magic belt gradually disappeared.
Now it is read that werewolves can turn themselves on a full moon. It is not known how much of this is fiction, but the Roman writer left one story that told real events involving a werewolf.
In many folk stories different peoples there is an opinion that werewolves are exiles, vicious people.
In Armenian folklore, there is a mention of women who were possessed by a spirit for their sins. They could turn into wolves and were forced to kill their own children.
IN North America there is a legend about a lu-garoo who arrived from France. After the conversion, this creature turned into a monster for 101 nights in a row, and during the day it experienced torment and suffering. Most often, they were expelled by people, which angered the lu-gara, contributing to bitterness and murder.
You can kill them with silver: a bullet or a blade. But it is possible to cure lycanthropy. If you kill the progenitor, the one who turned the werewolf, then all those infected by him will be released.
IN Slavic mythology Volkolak existed. They could be of their own free will. Most often, sorcerers turned into werewolves to enhance their abilities.
Evil spirit from old Russian mythology. He was several centimeters tall, his body was covered with black hair, and his head was bald. Anchutka had no heels.
There is an opinion that it is impossible to pronounce his name aloud, otherwise Anchutka will instantly appear in front of you.
Residence, as a rule, a field, a bathhouse or a pond. The main condition is proximity to people, but away from other supernatural beings.
Field anchuts are the most peaceful. Bathhouses and swamps have a perky disposition, they joke evilly, endangering a person’s life.
Marsh anchutes grab swimmers by the legs and try to drown them, while bathing anchutes frighten people with strange sounds or appear in terrible images.
Anchutki can be invisible. They move quickly and are afraid of iron and salt.
Shakers and Navi
Shakers - causing diseases. Most often mentioned in conspiracies.
Represented as 12 ugly women. Are in connection with evil spirit, and when a person is sick, they appear next to him in the form of a devil.
Navi - the spirits of death. Ancient Russian creatures that send diseases to both people and cattle. Their involvement in disasters was not ruled out.
At night they roam the dark streets, killing all travelers. The only way to escape from the Navi was not to leave the house, protecting it with amulets.
An infinite number of creatures and monsters are present in various myths and religions. Differing in appearance and abilities, they always created problems for people, and most often killed them.
Of course, the existence of each has not been proven, so believing in them or not is entirely your choice.

Series Supernatural season 14 will consist of 20 episodes, instead of the usual 23. Is this a sign of the approaching end of the series? On this moment The supernatural has indeed reached the thinnest airwaves in television history. Detractors might say that the series is no longer as high quality as it was in its glory days, but not many shows are lucky enough to last even two full seasons, much less 14. Perhaps the biggest contributor to Supernatural's support is the absolutely unwavering support of its dedicated fans. The fans went along with the heroes of the series through good and bad times, and show no signs of changing anytime soon. After more than a decade on the air, Supernatural is still at the top of the chart when it comes to the CW's highest airings, and that's very rare with other shows. However, all good things must come to an end, and eventually this must happen with Supernatural as well. Some fans may be happy to see Sam and Dean Winchester continue their adventure into the Middle Ages, but it looks like this might be too far a bridge. Now, according to TV Line, Supernatural season 14 will only consist of 20 episodes, slightly short of the CW's usual 23 episodes. Could this be a sign that the series created by Eric Kripke is ending? Maybe. While the three-episode cut might not seem like a huge change - and for most shows it probably won't be very remarkable - Supernatural has always stuck to 23 episodes per season since season 7. That's for a long time to maintain a consistent picture, only to suddenly deviate from it. In fact, the only season of Supernatural that was shorter than season 14 was season 3, which was only 16 episodes long. But there was a reason for that - the shortened season was caused by a Hollywood writers' strike. To be fair, Supernatural season 14 is shorter than previous seasons, maybe for a more mundane reason. The show's stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are married and fathers of families, perhaps they just decided to ask The CW for more free time than they used to get in order to spend more time with their families. However, both men have said in the past that 300 episodes will be good number to finish Supernatural, and season 14 will come close to that mark. Can the writers and producers of Supernatural tell The CW that they're ready to end the series, and plan to do so with a longer but busier season? It's possible, and the fact that The CW turned down a comment on a reduced TV Line order seems curious. The supernatural usually has a significant presence at San Diego Comic-Con, so it might be revealed next month why. Supernatural season 14 shorter than the previous ones.Will Supernatural season 14 be the last?
Are there any other reasons why Supernatural season 14 has fewer episodes?
