The Vampire of Kisiljevo
All life comes to an end eventually, or so the villagers of Kisiljevo Serbia assumed in 1725. Petar Blagojevich was put to rest in an average grave, leaving behind his wife and son in the land of the living. All were left to mourn, but not left for long.
That evening he returned to his wives home, warm and alive as if his heart never ceased to beat. Then he took his first victim. Local villager was strangled to death, his body drained of blood. This alone would not quench his hunger.
For eight days the village served as his hunting grounds, not even sparing his own son. On the ninth day the villager’s had enough, and turned to the local priest for his holy aid.
All were shocked at what they saw. Inside the coffin Petar lay, flesh pink with no sign of decomposition. Blood stained his lips, dripping down and pooling in the bottom of the coffin.
His heart was removed and staked, body burnt to ashes. Only then was the village released from Petar’s grasp, with only nightmares left to haunt the people of Kisiljevo.
