For examle the vampire pandemic after the Ottoman-Venetian War. Parts of Serbia and Bosnia were forcefully integrated into the Austrian Empire amnd orthodox refugess were located in this area. And it is exactly in this area that reports of vampire attacks suddenly started to be reported by the natives. The orthodox peasants and catholic governors saw the practices of the natives - to dig up the corpses of alleged vampires and cut off their heads as grave desecration and multiple laws were passed to contain the phenomenon. Which eventually worked, but not before many fruitless attempts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593854763215902252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524743884416328260.post-24968515696288472892016-10-04T10:39:26.506-07:002016-10-04T10:39:26.506-07:00Sounds fascinating!
