           All over Garhwal it is believed that Ghost or demons don’t come near to cow. There are a couple of different folk stories in different parts of Garhwal about cow protecting human beings from Ghost. The following folk story is from Ravain region of Uttarkashi and Dehradun.

           A person was running as a terrible Ghost was running after him. The person ran towards forest but Ghost did not stop following him. The fearful person ran from jungle to paddy field but Ghost also followed the person there. The person ran to a millet field but could not protect him from the Ghost. The person ran towards village and saw a cowshed. The person ran fast and entered into the cowshed where cows were there. The Ghost could not enter in cowshed as the cow protects human beings from ghosts.
