Death was not always the end. In the frozen nights of Eastern Europe, villagers believed the dead could rise — not as ghosts, but as hungry corpses that fed on the living. These were the first vampires: the strigoi, upir, and restless dead that haunted villages from the Balkans to the Carpathians.
This episode of Myth & Magic uncovers the true origin of the vampire myth — from medieval burial rituals and vampire panics to the legends that shaped modern horror.
🌙 Explore the dark folklore of Slavic and Balkan lands.
⚰️ Discover why villagers staked graves and buried the dead face-down.
🩸 Learn how the vampire transformed from terrifying corpse to timeless icon.
Step into the old nights, where the line between life and death was never certain.
