Cave Almási 

 

  Sometime around the middle of the 

XIXth. century John Paget in his 

remarkable traveling book, wrote a funny 

superstition about the Almási cave. 

  As we can read in John Paget's 

superstition, the villagers claim that there 

are two naked fairies that are locked inside 

the cave. So as, when a tough wind blows 

down in the valley where the village is, you 

can hear the naked fairies wailing. These 

two fairies are sending a lot of sickness to 

the villagers, and those are trying to protect 

themselves by hanging cloths at the enter 

of the cave so that the fairies can find them, 

get clothed up, and as being thankful to the 

villagers they won't hurt them anymore.
