The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

This is a Romanian folk tale preserved by Tudor Pamfile in his book Ion Creanga, 1914

A girl and a young man were once in love, but the youth died and became a vampire. The girl knew nothing of this. She happened to be alone in her parents' house, and she put out all the lights and went to bed as usual. Now vampires can enter into empty houses or into unclean houses, but the girl's house was clean and holy, so he could not come in.

Instead of coming in he called at the window, speaking in the same tone and using the same words as he did when alive.
- "Stupid girl, come with me," he said, and took her hand and led her, undressed as she was, to his tomb.

- "Go in," he said.
- "No, friend, I'm afraid," she said.
