Abstract
The author presents a synthesis of the results obtained during ethnographic field research carried out in Lepoglava and the surrounding villages in 2011. Envisioned as reconnaissance, it focused on a number of topics related to traditional everyday life, different beliefs in particular. Because of the extremely great number of acquired data, the author decided to pay particular attention to them and elaborate them in a separate paper, structured in several units: fantastic beings and people with supernatural powers, souls of the deceased and nocturnal darkness, magic healing procedures, and the evil eye.
