Here is another urban legend from the 20th century, this one about a mansion in Pohulianka. Around 1910, a young lawyer from Lviv fell madly in love with a woman, the owner of the villa "Pivonia," located in Pohulianka, and for two years, he lived with her in the villa.
The lawyer's friend, who was a well-known psychiatrist in Lviv, noticed severe mental disorders in his friend's behavior. During a friendly conversation, the lawyer complained to his doctor friend about a fatal, pathological sexual dependency on this woman. She was a beautiful woman, no older than 30. The psychiatrist became concerned about his friend's condition and seriously contemplated this extraordinary case, feeling an unbearable desire to help his friend at all costs.
While reviewing old medical histories, he stumbled upon the case of a lady from Pohulianka. It was noted that in 1875, she was diagnosed with psychopathic tendencies of a sexual nature, and at that time, she was 45 years old. Therefore, she would have been at least 80 years old by now. The psychiatrist decided to meet the owner of "Pivonia." This lady, named Sara Braga, came from an old Spanish noble family. During their meeting, he encountered a young, beautiful woman. At that time, the lawyer suddenly died from an unknown illness.
While conducting his investigation, the psychiatrist learned that Mrs. Sara had had six other husbands whose fates were unknown then. Understanding the danger of the situation, the doctor decided to settle in Pohulianka at the villa "Pivonia." He made numerous efforts to resist the seductive allure of the demonic woman.
Incredible efforts were required so he would not end up in Sara's bed. Meanwhile, Mrs. Sara suddenly started to age. Wrinkles appeared on her face, and her hair began to turn gray. Sara tried in every way to seduce the doctor, but he remained steadfast. One day, while rereading the Bible, he accidentally uncovered Sara Braga's secret in the book of Tobit. It spoke of a confident Sara from Media, who had seven husbands who had fallen under the power of the demon Asmodeus.
One evening, while sitting together in the living room on the sofa, the doctor read a passage from the Old Testament to Sara. With a terrible scream, she ran out of the living room. As he chased after her, he found her sprawled on the stairs. Death had caught up with Sara.
