Bichura

The spirit from the mythology of the Kazan Tatars and Bashkirs.

Pӗҫuri is the name of a Bichura, a household spirit-enricher, among the Tatarstan Chuvash.

He looked like a little man in a red shirt. Usually such spirits lived in deep forests in clearings, but it could be brought home. In this case, he settled under the floor or in the bath.

They could be playing pranks: make noise, hide things, pile on sleeping people, scare them, but you could negotiate with them and then they helped to get rich.

In some ethnic groups of Zakamye, the term Bichura referred to spirits who were represented in the image of a small woman in an old headdress, an analogue of a bannitsa or a kikimora.

The scourge does not cause any significant harm to a person, but strongly and in different ways disturbs him at night: he shouts, plays, laughs, jokes, drags the sleeping person from place to place; things put in one place, hides in another.
