Ghost Stories

Do you believe in superstitions and ghosts? In Russia, there are many people that believe there are friendly ghosts that live in their homes, who bring them good luck and good fortune!

Spotlight on Russia introduces you to two neighbourhood ghosts.

Russia has many folk tales and superstitions about ghosts and spirits. The Domovoy and Rusalka are two of the most well-known spirits in Russian folklore.

The Rusalka

Another well-known spirit is the Rusalka. She is the spirit of a young woman who drowned. People that have seen her say she has long wet hair that never dries. The Rusalka lives at the bottom of lakes, rivers or streams, but when there is a new moon she comes out to a nearby forest or meadow. There, she sits on a tree and combs her hair or dances in circles with other Rusalkas. When the Rusalka sees a handsome man she sings beautiful songs to him and leads him to the bottom of the river or lake where he drowns.

The Domovoy

The Domovoy is a house spirit who lives under the doorstep or behind the stove. Sometimes, the owner of a new house puts a piece of bread under the new stove to attract the Domovoy. The Domovoy brings good luck to a house if its family treats him well. He finishes household jobs when the family is asleep and takes care of family animals. He also screams during the night if there is a stranger outside or a fire.

Решение 2 2023-2027.

ОБСУДИТЕ:

• Вы верите в суеверия и призраков? Почему? Почему нет?

• Вы когда-нибудь были в месте с привидениями? Как вы себя чувствовали?

• Если бы вы могли стать призраком, вы бы выбрали быть добрым или злым? Почему?

Ответ:

• I'm not sure if I believe in them. Sometimes I get a little scared in the dark, and stories about ghosts are fun, but I've never seen one. So maybe they are not real, but it's cool to think about. / Я не уверен, верю ли я в них. Иногда мне становится немного страшно в темноте, а истории о привидениях — это весело, но я никогда не видел ни одного. Так что, может быть, они и не настоящие, но думать о них прикольно.

• No, I've never been to a real haunted place. I've been to a 'haunted house' at a funfair, and it was a bit scary but also really funny because I knew it wasn't real. I felt excited. / Нет, я никогда не был в настоящем месте с привидениями. Я был в «доме с привидениями» в парке развлечений, и это было немного страшно, но также очень смешно, потому что я знал, что это не по-настоящему. Я был в восторге.

• If I were a ghost, I'd want to be a good one, like the Domovoy. I would help my family and play harmless, funny tricks on them, like hiding their socks. Being a bad ghost and scaring people all the time sounds lonely and sad. / Если бы я был призраком, я бы хотел быть добрым, как Домовой. Я бы помогал своей семье и подшучивал над ними безобидными, смешными шутками, например, прятал бы их носки. Быть злым призраком и постоянно всех пугать звучит одиноко и грустно.
