The Jinn in the Pasture

Description

In 1990, me and four people were shepherding in winter pasture [of Pamir at Shimshal Pass]. As we were locking up our yak herds for the evening, we saw a Birgush - a Jinn, who all of a sudden appeared and moved along with the yaks. As the yaks tried to hit him, him, he managed to escape. When he turned around, we noticed that his chest was hollow, revealing everything inside. Many people had witnessed him before. He [Birgush] has a human appearance, he does not harm anyone and is only visible during the daytime.
