In Croatia, on the Istrian peninsula, lies the sleepy coastal town of Kringa. Today, it is a tourist destination with picturesque stone houses and flowering gardens, but once upon a time there lived a creature that brings supernatural horror to everyone.
The story of a vampire from Kringa seems to be the very first story in Europe about a real person who turned into a bloodthirsty monster and terrorized the entire neighborhood.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, many Croatians feared what they called strigoi (strigon or strigon). It was believed that this is a sorcerer or witch who hunt people at night and drink their blood. They especially loved the blood of widows and just young and beautiful women. They could break into houses, but sometimes they knocked on the door and if they were not opened, then death could be avoided.
One such Strigoi lived in Kring, which was then a village. At first he was just a man named Yure Grando Alilovich or Yure Grando. He was born in 1579 and died of an unknown illness in 1656. He was buried at the local cemetery.
But soon rumors began to circulate in the village that at night a stranger was walking the streets, knocking on doors. Those who saw him noted that he was very similar to the deceased Yure Grando. And soon in the village, strange diseases and deaths became more frequent, and people noticed that those whose houses the late Grando knocked on were sick and dying.
Widow Grando got the most. According to her, her dead husband repeatedly came to her house at night, pounced on her, beat, bit and brutally raped her. The widow described her dead husband as smiling and breathless at the same time, as if he was constantly short of breath.
For 16 years, this creepy dead man terrorized the Kringa. The legends do not indicate exactly how he drank the blood of the victims, whether he drank it in parts or all at a time. Everywhere it is only said that this dead man was a vampire and most of all thirsted for human blood.
Once a local priest, Father Georgio, ran into this strigoi and he personally made sure that people do not lie and that the monster exists. After that, the patience of the locals was exhausted - it turns out that the monster is not even afraid of a priest! The first to hunt for a vampire was a man named Miho Radetich, he tracked him down at night and tried to drive a hawthorn stake into his heart. However, the wooden stake simply did not pierce his chest, as if it were their iron. After that, the vampire ran away.
Then a group of people led by the priest Georgio went to the cemetery and dug up Grando's coffin. When they opened it, they found inside a completely undecomposed body with pale skin. And there was a wide smile on Grando's face.
Father Georgio said "Look, strigoi, Jesus saved us from Hell and died for us, but you were not able to rest in peace with the strigoi," and after that he drove a stake into his chest. However, this time the stake could not pierce the vampire's chest. Other people also began to stick stakes and knives into the vampire, but to no avail.
The next day, Father Georgio decided to try to read prayers exorcising evil demons, and then one of the men - Stipan Miladzhich took a saw and sawed off the head of the corpse. As soon as the saw tore the vampire's skin, red fresh blood spurted out of the wound, and the vampire let out a loud cry.
There was so much blood that it kept flowing and flowing from the decapitated corpse until it filled the entire coffin.
What was done to the vampire's head is not indicated in the legends, but after that he no longer came to people at night and he was no longer seen in these places.
