Oburs occur among very old people. <br />
<br />
The people who become Oburs recognize each other. According to the Oburs themselves, there are Oburism skills and salves. <br />
<br />
The ones who become Oburs know how to enter into various forms. For example, cats, dogs, and wolves. <br />
<br />
Oburs, at the time when they become Oburs, strip mother naked in a large house. <br />
<br />
They smear salve, which they make themselves, on their bodies and wallow in the ashes on the edge of the fire. <br />
<br />
Afterwards they mount brooms with whips in their hands, and after running around the bottom of the room in circles, they issue from the chimney in the forms of cats. <br />
<br />
After men's footsteps have ceased, and everyone has gone to bed, they enter by the chimney, drink the children's blood, and leave a black bruise at the place where they have drunk, and then go. <br />

<br />
If it becomes necessary to go to a place from from the village, they are gathered in twos and threes somewhere, and they enter into the form of wolves. <br />
<br />
No matter what there is at the summer pastures - cows, oxen, calves, horses, or sheep - they make them lie down, drink their blood, and sate themselves on blood. <br />
<br />
The Oburs who will do this do their work at night. <br />
<br />
With the break of dawn, they leave immediately, enter the house by the place whence they had issued, and enter into their original shapes. <br />
