REPORT: Vampire on the loose in Serbia.

This is hilarious. The article makes it sound so serious.

Dozens of websites are reporting on this story, but my quotes will come directly from The Huffington Post. Now, I know that hundreds of years ago countries in Europe and west Asia took folklore and superstition very seriously. I just didn’t know it was taken to such an extent by some people these days.

In Zarozje, Serbia there used to be an old mill where a famously bad vampire named Sava Savanovic was rumored to live. Sava is rumored to be the first vampire of Serbia and lured villagers to their deaths when they came to collect grain at the mill. Well, now it seems that the mill has collapsed…and Sava The Vampire is on the loose and looking for a new place to stay. Without any knowledge of his whereabouts or where he plans to stay, it seems citizens of Zarozje are frightened they may be his next victims. They are so worried, apparently, that a public health warning has been issued.

Here are some of the awesome quotes from the article: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/29/sava-savanovic-vampire-on-the-loose-serbia_n_2211364.html?utm_hp_ref=weird-news

“”People are very worried. Everybody knows the legend of this vampire and the thought that he is now homeless and looking for somewhere else and possibly other victims is terrifying people. We are all frightened.”  – Miodrag Vujetic, local municipal assembly member.

“”I understand that people who live elsewhere in Serbia are laughing at our fears, but here most people have no doubt that vampires exist.”

“In January of 1732, Dr. Johannes Flückinger, regiment medical officer dispatched by the Honorable Supreme Command, was sent to Serbia to exhume the bodies of 13 alleged vampires, according to Scientific American. “After the examination had taken place,” reads Flückinger’s official report, “the heads of the vampires were cut off by the local gypsies and then burned along with the bodies, and then the ashes were thrown into the river Morava.”
