What are the different types of vampires in folklore?
Most vampire traditions come from Eastern Europe and the surrounding areas, but folklore traditions from around the world have different forms of monsters rushing blood. Some similar creatures discharge their victims of mental or sexual energy, health or qi , also known as the nature of life. Several of the most famous types of vampires are nosferata , Moroi , Strigoi and mullo .
Perhaps the most famous form of a vampire, popularized fiction and film in the Western world, is Nosferata. This Romanian vampire is an illegitimate child of two illegitimate children and is involved in bloodthirsty and sex with deadly women. According to legends, such an impregnated woman gives birth to a witch or Moroi - also written by Moroia - a "living vampire", unlike undead diversity. Moroi is identified at the birth of their furry appearance, although such features as CAU, tail or extrabradavka could also signal vampirical identity.
Another main type of vampire inRomanian culture is Strigoi or Strigoii. Strigoi either live witches or undead vampires, but alive will become vampires after their earthly deaths. Living Strigoi can send his souls at night to communicate with others their mate and undead feeding by the blood of people and farm animals. The word Strigoi is derived from the name of an ancient Roman feed, Strix , a night bird that feeds on people.
Some gypsies or Roma people traditionally believe that the souls of the dead remain close to their bodies and sometimes want to return. Mullo, the Roma version of the vampire, usually returns to the human world to avenge a relative who somehow made a dead person wrong. It sucks the blood of their victims and otherwise he is troubled by her. Gypsies also believe in Dhampir, the son of a vampire and a dead woman, usually a vampire widow who is skilled in hunting and killing vampires.
Indian culture from which they come from Roma people also has manyTraditional blood creatures, especially the deity of Kali, a black goddess who, though not a vampire itself, may have inspired other vampire legends. Indian vampires include bhut , the evil spirit of a man who died of premature death, and veiled . Both varieties of vampires frequent cemeteries, animated corpses and attack life. Brahmaparusha from the northern Indian folklore drinks the blood of the victim through a hole in the skull, and then her brains, finally dancing with the intestines of the victims wrapped around the head.
creation similar to European vampires exist in cultures around the world. One interesting example is the Chinese Jiang Shi or a bouncy corpse, undead monster kills their victims by exhausting their Qi. Another well -known bloodshed is the Central American Chupacabra , which feeds on the body and blood of livestock during the night.
