Bichura (folklore)

Bichura (Cyrillic: Бичура; Latin: Biçura) is a house spirit in Turkic folklore.

It has also been said that Bichura can take on the appearance of cats or dogs. Other stories either give them completely monstrous appearance, or none at all. The actions performed by a Bichura vaguely resemble those of poltergeists and are not necessarily harmful. It wears red dresses.[1]
