Part 1
In 1991 when I was 16 years old we lived as a family (mother, father and I) in the Ukrainian village called Pron. This village was the largest in our district in it there were more than 200 houses. There was a school, a kindergarten, two shops, a club and other "gifts of civilization." We also had our own church, big, with a high bell tower. Around the church among the local there were many rumors. But at once they were all eclipsed by the story of the former holy father. At that time he lived on the outskirts of the village.
Local people said that about 3 years ago in the village there was a case similar to demon obsession. The woman Victoria Mamaeva, the mother of two girls (6 and 10 years old) worked on the local farm as a milkmaid. At one point, for some strange reason, she went into the forest. And she returned from there in a day.
According to local legend, in some part of that forest, in ancient times the witch lived. In our time people are constantly lost there. The search for the missing rarely gave results. Those people who were found were insane. Some said it was a coincidence, but many believed that the forest was bewitched and there lived evil.
It is not known what happened in that forest with Mamaeva. But on return for no reason, she drowned her eldest daughter. And after that she went into the room to the younger one and strangled her. No one immediately found out what had happened. The next few days, at work she did not appear and did not go out of the house. She drove everyone out of the yard and did not even want to talk to anyone. People wondered what was wrong with her. Everyone was wondering where her daughters disappeared.
Then the holy father decided to intervene. He was very kind, never passed by another's misfortune. Entering her house, he disappeared for several hours. And when he came out, then looked very pale and exhausted. People thought that it was replaced.
Later, Victoria was found dead in the house. She was tied to the bed. Naturally, there was an investigation, a lot of noise was raised. But the investigators could not prove the guilt of the priest, there were no traces of violent death. Since then, the priest has changed beyond recognition. He became a hermit, did not speak to anyone, and was not like himself. He left the church. Rumors from that time on began to walk, that he was possessed, he could not exorcise the evil spirit, for which he paid with his soul.
I never believed in it. I thought that this cannot be and this is the usual village horror story. But in this forest, the locals rarely come after this incident. And by the will of fate I had to go to this forest ...
