Aydın, around Akçakaya (folk tale)

The Cin-Haunted Village of Kızıldağlar

Folklore — not a documented case

According to a tale passed on among local residents, a village's population abandoned it over paranormal claims. The tale is woven from motifs common in Anatolian folklore — the 'cin (jinn) marriage' and the 'haunted place.' It is not a documented event, but has been carried down through generations by oral tradition.

According to this story, told in the mountainous area around Aydın, the people of a village once living there abandoned their homes and migrated elsewhere because of recurring supernatural events.

The stories in this section are folk tales and legends; they are not verified, real events and should not be confused with the rest of the archive.
