The suggested encyclopedia acquaints readers with a complex of beliefs, which existed among the peasants in the XIX-XXth centuries. Its main characters are house-spirits, water-sprites, water-nymphs, wood-goblins, vampires, werewolves, devils and other evil spirits. These figures turned out to be strikingly stable in the public mind and still continue to be a part of a traditional culture. Folk and ethnographic sources, archive materials and literary publications cited by the author will definitely be of interest to the readers. The book is supplemented with the author’s article “About the Unknown”, with a dictionary of archaisms and dialectal words, as well as a list of literature.
