Summary/Abstract: In this study the tales of Vasile Voiculescu are compared with the ones of Ioan Petru Culianu in order to rediscover an other category of the fantastic frame and new discursive symbolical valencies emphasized through the concept of ,,sujacent speech” stated by Ioan Petru Culianu. The experience of the invisible in the represented story brings in the level of narrative speech a second encoded speech. Thereby, in the dialectical structure of the narration appears an ambiguous character constructed as an allegory who opens up the way to an enigmatic event. The enigma destabilizes not only the clasical interaction between narrator-character-reprezented world – reader, but also forces the ideatical limits of the narrative language itself. Thus, the supernatural occurrence belongs to the invisible counterpart of the language that implies the mystery of creation from an ontological point of view.
