Recently I was asked by a Deadsilence, one of my pupils if there are cases of vampirism in PA.
Despite the common confusion between Transylvania and Pennsylvania there are no cases of vampirism in PA.
I only found an interesting vampire legend
(summarized by pastor Robin Swope here:
http://www.examiner.com/paranormal-in-pittsburgh/what-lurks-the-vampire-s-crypt )
but the legend apparently has no claim in reality as this in-depth analysis shows:

However it think all Rebecca`s (aka Jibril Ammon) work deserves to be mentioned here.
An interesting documentary about a mad who died because of the vampires... well rather indirectly but it worth watching.

Voi strigoni, voi moroni,
Voi răufăcători şi ochitori
Să vă duceţi
La nouă stâni părăsite
Cu vasele neopărite,
Pe vârful bradului
La rotundul fagului,
Acolo să vecuiţi
Acolo să sălăşluiţi
Şi pe care o vezi
Să o părăsiţi
Şi să nu-i faceţi nimic
Translation(made by me):
You vampires, you werewolves
You evildoers and evileyers
Should go
At nine forlorn folds
With unboiled pots
On the top of the fir
At the round of the beech
There to live your ages
There to dwell
And this one you see here
To leave
And do her no harm.
This is a folklore vampire incantation from Poeni village in the mountains of Poiana Rusca by Otilia Teposu in Romania heard in 2005.
