STRIGOI
In Romanian mythology, strigoi are the troubled spirits of the dead rising from the grave. Some of the properties of the strigoi include: the ability to transform into an animal, invisibility, and the propensity to drain the vitality of victims via blood loss. Strigoi are the myth behind the modern Bram Stoker vampire. The name strigoi is related to the Romanian verb a striga, which in Romanian means “to scream”. The strigoi viu (living strigoi) steals the wealth of farmers, that is to say, wheat and milk. But it can also stop the rain, and give death. The strigoi mort (dead strigoi) is much more dangerous. Its nature is ambiguous, both human and demonic. He/she emerges from their grave, returns to their family and behaves as in their lifetime, while weakening their relatives until they die in their turn. The strigoi is orginally a living human, born under certain conditions: the seventh child of the same sex in a family, or led a life of sin, or die unmarried, or by execution for perjury or suicide, or born with a caul atop their head, or have been cursed by a witch.
