Va-Kul is a water spirit. Originally in Zyrian mythology, during the Middle Ages Va-Kul was a goddess of the water who was often friendly but if displeased could cause a great catastrophe. Later in the myths of the Permian and Ob-Ugrian people this goddess was known as Va-Kul (literally meaning "Water-Demon"). Like most old deities connected with water, they became demonized and were seen as evil aquatics spirits.
Va-Kul in its demonic form, has the appearance of a man or woman with unkempt hair. It is active during the night and one treading near water should be especially vigilant at midnight as not to incur the wrath of Va-Kul.
Most water spirits of Permian and Ob-Ugrian belief were connected with the dead and the underworld.

Did you find Va-Kul interesting? If you are skilled in art, then why not draw a interesting and exciting picture of the Not known Va-Kul and send it to this website. Interested in more Russian legend? A great cartoon called Dobrynya Nikitich and Zemy Gorynych (2006) is a Russian children's animation with Dragons and other Russian mythical beings. But for those who love Vampires, lets not forget that Eastern Europe is their birth place. No film quite gives the Vampire spooks like Nosferatu (1922). However if you like it modern, Day Watch and Night Watch are interesting Vampire alternatives. Also the fantasy tabletop game Warhammer features an army called Vampire Counts which has been greatly inspired by Eastern European beliefs and culture.
