Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Magic and Witchcraft., part 7, sentence 84

After the death of a witch her body is liable, says popular tradition, to be tenanted by a devil (as may be seen from No. iii.), and to corpses thus possessed have been attributed by the storytellers the terrible deeds which Indian tales relate of Rakshasas and other evil spirits.

Who acts: body, devil, storytellers, Indian tales, witch · What happens: be, say, tenant, see, possess, attribute · To what, where: witch, popular tradition, No., corpses, terrible deeds · Speech: someone speaks here
