Has anyone ever heard of a household spirit called a Domovoi? [View all]

They are a type pf of Slavic Fae. My husband is Czech and early last year I became aware of ours , (actually everyone who visits that house for any period of time could. LOL!).
Anyway, usually they're "inherited" from generationally. I started doing a little asking around regarding Domovoi because I thought that they were connected through Slavic bloodlines. (My bloodline tends to lean toward the Native, Southern European, Arab and African).
Anyway, the reason I ask is because our Domovoi seems to have become quite fond and protective of me in particular. When I was in hospital , at one point, I was in so much pain from the surgeries I'd undergone that I literally couldn't think. That night, GOD AS MY WITNESS, I woke up from a very disturbed and horribly difficult sleep because I heard what I thought was sobbing and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. As crazy as this might sound, I turned my head to the right and right there, leaning on the rails of my bed was, "Sergei". He's told me that I couldn't pronounce his true name and that I could call him that. His head was tilted down so that I couldn't only see his hair, which is VERY coarse and an odd combination of mousey grey and brown. Now, I had been in so much pain that I literally could no longer cry. NO amount of meds stopped it. I slowly became aware of the fact that he was , for want of a better term, ''rubbing" my belly, which had been filleted.
One would think that it would be excrutiatingly painful but far from it. For the first time in about 30 hours, I was feeling as close to comfortable as possible. He was running his hands over my tummy so fast that not only should it have been horribly painful, it should have been hot as hell because they were moving so fast that they were blurs. While he was "rubbing" my tummy, he was crying, sobbing actually. I reached over and patted his head, which felt like just this side of a hedgehog's coat. He never let me seem him full on and although I kept asking his to let me see his face.
Now, before you think, "Erm, Ecu was dreaming or maybe the painkiller was making her see thangs that weren't there"- People heard me talking to someone and could hear but not understand they other side of the conversation. AND....I NEVER had that pain again. I got out of ICU the next morning and rapidly improved after that.

Has anyone else ever heard of Domovoi? Or does anyone else have a household friend, Fae or otherwise? And before you ask, I'm 1000% serious.
