Strigoi
Origin: Romanian Mythology
Summary and or explanation: Romania is well known for its vampires, especially the infamous Count Dracula, but it also contains a myth of what is possibly the granddaddy of vampire stories-the Strigoi. (Oh here we go folks.)
Name runs a shiver down your spine, doesn't it?
The Strigoi is a troubled soul from beyond the grave, and he is ready to devour your blood and roam the Earth once more. He can also become invisible and transform into the shape of an animal. A creature of demonic lineage, the Strigoi is so feared in the country that there are still cases of graves being dug up to eliminate the vampiric menace.
(They use to do this a long time ago in America and Europe. In fact it was common practice at one time to have a wooden stake driven through the body of a person after they had died to prevent resurrection.)
