The Strigoi Vampire
Historically, there were a variety of ways people ensured a loved one could not return as a strigoi. For example, some believed that burying a bottle of whiskey with the deceased would keep him or her from returning, while others destroyed the body prior to burial.Strigoi are vampire like creatures that are said to come from Romania. They were believed to be spirits of deceased people. These spirits supposedly lived troubled lives. According to folklore these creatures had two hearts, indigo eyes, and crimson hair. These creatures are very difficult to identify due to the fact that they can take the shape of any entity. These creatures survived by drinking blood and caused chaos by turning into poltergeist and by turning in to animals. Many people in Romania blamed strigoi disease and famine. These creatures are very difficult to get rid of. For example to kill it you would need to stab the strigoi through its real heart. If you put the stake through the wrong heart then the creature would still be alive and angered and will probably have a desire to kill you. There is good news for the strigoi however. If somehow after seven years the strigoi survived death the creature would become mortal again and could even have a family. It is very difficult to identify a strigoi from the rest of society. If the strigoi does become a mortal after surviving seven years there will be no trace that the person ever became a strigoi. However who ever is chasing the strigoi for seven years will probably still want to kill the person who was the former strigoi.
