“My husband died. And I used to go on night duty to the grain yard. Once I was walking there alone, and I see — he is coming toward me. He was wearing the very suit they dressed him in for the coffin.
He asked me: ‘Where are you going?’
I did not answer. I only cried out: ‘Go away, go away, evil force. Go away — I am not afraid.’
And I started running faster toward the grain yard — and he ran after me. He was flying and trying to speak to me. I did not answer him and kept reading a prayer.
I ran to the yard shaking all over and told Aunt Dunya, who was on duty with me. And she said: ‘You did right not to speak to him.’
There is an evil force. There is.”
