So, the first legend: it is the place where hail is born. Hutsuls believe that the souls of sinners, who killed themselves or other people, gather in the lake. And if you throw a stone at them, that is stir the surface, a rider on horseback comes out of it and rides among surrounding rocks, striking out stones that turn to ice. Then the sinners emerge from the lake, gather the ice and fly over Chornohora in black clouds: wherever they open the bag – it hails there.
The second legend: a long time ago, a young girl drowned in the lake, and she gets very angry if someone swims in it. Anyone, who dares to do it, will receive a bad weather as punishment.

The only thing that can save from the evil spirits is the sound of trembita. Also they say that if an unmarried (single) person washes with the lake water, he or she will find a mate within a year.
