Manya

Manya, Man or A maniac in the mythology of central and southwestern Russia is a spirit that takes the form of a shooting star (or comes on it).

In different beliefs, these creatures are spoken about in completely different ways. Somewhere she foreshadows inevitable death, somewhere she appears in the yard where the girl lost her innocence, somewhere she was shown to women working in the field and in behavior she looked like a succubus or incubus (depending on gender), somewhere she looked like a shadow man, and somewhere like an old woman looking for her son.
