Vyhovanok

A demonic spirit in Ukrainian mythology, he makes his master rich.

It could also become a miscarriage 7 years after the abortion. He lives in the attic, eats only unsalted food, loves flour, milk and sugar. Provides the wealth of the owner of the house, takes care of the cattle.

Sometimes there are several of them in the house, then all the housework is distributed among all of them: one guards the house from thieves (like a scarbnik), another takes care of the apiary (like a beekeeper), the third works in the field.

A person himself could bring out for himself a vyhovanka from an egg laid by a black hen or a rooster. Such an egg should be carried under the left arm for 9 days. At this time, you can not wash, cut your nails, pray and be baptized. If he was not carried out, he could be tortured to death.

It was possible to buy it, but with such an acquisition, a person sold his soul to the devil.

He could take offense at his master for giving him salty food, and then he would interrupt all the dishes in the house, could gouge out the eyes of the owner and leave the house forever, taking happiness with him, could torture the owner, so much so that he hung himself. With the death of the owner of the vykhovka, the wealth in the house disappears. This death is terrible and painful: vyhovanok takes his soul to the devil himself, who drives it into an egg, after which an even more evil spirit appears from there.

Vyhovanok, like the devil, could have been killed by thunder. He could have been killed himself with a backhand, but after that, if you hit him with a beech stick, he was resurrected.

In order to clear the house of the vyhovanka, the priest should consecrate the hut three times, throw the vyhovanka over the roof and carry it beyond the 9th boundary.
