My mom has always told me that I need to fess up when I get things wrong. Especially since I'm so fond of getting things right. Last October (as in, 2011), I wrote a post about questions I had received regarding Serbian life. Question number three was "Are there vampires in Serbia?", I incorrectly answered "No."
Check out that post here: http://twoyearseast.blogspot.com/2011/10/wednesday-wonderings-pt-2.html
Well, my bad. I was wrong. Check out this news story: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/vampire-loose-serbia-article-1.1211539
For those of you that are are a little link shy, let me give you some highlights.
"ZAROZJE, Serbia — Get your garlic, crosses and stakes ready: a bloodsucking vampire is on the loose. Or so say villagers in the tiny western Serbian hamlet of Zarozje, nestled between lush green mountain slopes and spooky thick forests. They say rumors that a legendary vampire ghost has awakened are spreading fear — and a potential tourist opportunity — through the remote village."
Also, it should be noted that he doesn't sparkle. However, he did survive in the form of a butterfly after being staked through the heart. Way to put your pride aside for the greater good of immortality.
So, sorry about that guys. Apparently vampires are highly prevalent in Serbia. Especially when their homes (i.e. abandoned mills) collapse. I'll try to be a better source of information in the future.
I'll leave you with some advice for dealing with very old homeless vampires:
1. Remain calm.
2. Don't frighten him.
3. Don't make fun of him.
4. Treat him like a neighbor.
5. Think vampires are silly? Better to be safe than to end up a victim.
Remember guys, remember.
