      anyway yall missed something, word Vampire is word of Serbian origin and first “Vampire” case that ever occurred was also in Serbia and it was about some dude named Petar Blagojevic that supposedly got out of his grave every night and sucked peoples blood, and people also said that when they dug up his grave his hearth was still beating and when they stabbed him he made some superhuman screaming noise, although i don’t believe this happened i wanted to show people this interesting story

    Imagine a creature that is, by design, the perfect predator of human beings. Intelligent, cunning, and able to use a human appearance as a form of camouflage to move about undetected. Now imagine that creature is strong as a lion and has to consume it's body weight in blood every night. I think movies and television haven't made vampire anywhere near as frightening as they could be.

      I remember in New Moon [gag] they told the story of how the wolves started when the "cold woman" came to destroy their people. in the movies, as horrible as they were, the actress who played the "cold woman" did a very good job of portraying exactly what you just described in just the few minutes of screen time she had, a vicious animal with human intelligence. just squint so you can't see the glitter 😅

There’s even some vampire lore in that book that we don’t remember, such as a wild rose stalk preventing the vampire from leaving its coffin, they can only transform at noon dawn or dusk, can ride moon beams, and they can actually transform into any for they wish (bat is obvious, but also wolf, and mist)

Then, they'd come in, outnumber him and kill him." My Dad's a pretty smart guy.

    Acording to one Eastern European interpretation, vampires and werewolves were one and the same. When a corpse is disrespected or not given a proper burial, it reanimates as a werewolf(a demon), only having a humanoid vampire form if the person was a sinner, therefore gaining the devil's favor, but also the fear of anything holy or pure. I'm pretty sure that these were just motivations to bury everyone upon death.

This year seems we will be hit with Dengue, Chinconcuya and Zika. The sad thing is that there is nothing you can do to prevent mosquitos nor stop them from bitting you (even long sleeves or mosquito repellent doesnt really work). Last year I got sick with Chinconcuya and it was so strong (I don´t normally get sick), my knees and ankles were hit hard. They are powerful illnesses and there is no vaccine, no cure and no way to prevent them. Global warming.

      I'm not completely sure but as a guess your native demon probably isn't presented as a "vampire" in your stories. I think these variety of bloodsucking creatures in myths around the world, initially unrelated to each other, were later lumped into the category of "vampire" in the modern era. It's kind of like the Chinese "dragon" has nothing in common with the medieval European dragon but these two were lumped into a common category because both were large snake-like creatures.

Whenever we’re up late at night and see another family member awake the first thing we’ll say is “Çka je qu Lugat?”- “Why have you woken up like a Lugat?” Basically a vampire at night

      @@bletrick3352 quite interesting, thanks for collecting new information.
      But I don't think it proves my conjecture necessarily wrong. It is still possible that the localised folklore in your region developed independently, and only later in the modern age it was discovered that other cultures also had similar myths. At that point it might have been included into the broad concept of the vampire.
      In any case this is all guesswork, so I very much might be wrong. Your information about the Lugat is interesting in providing a look at how localised myths can develop.
