Description: Barabashka is a poltergeist. A noisy spirit. It is an invisible creature living in city houses and causing the noise. The word “Barabashka” means “he who is drumming”. People in Russia believe that every building has its own Barabashka. According to the author's idea, Barabashka is a living house of the future, which has its own character and mind. If the house is in a bad mood, it changes color and shape. Its inner rooms are jealous of each other for the owner and try to constantly surprise the person so that he would pay attention to them. For example, you can take a part of the wall from Barabashka, in the form of a liquid lump, and put it on a sore spot and it will immediately heal. Barabashka's floor is constantly moving and swimming, and if you feed the house with a tasty treat, it will take you to a new place.
