“7. No less did a girl ten years of age, who had died two months previously, find herself in the above-mentioned condition, quite complete and un-decayed; and had much fresh blood in her chest.
“8. They caused the wife of the Heyducke to be dug up, along with her child. She had died seven weeks previously, her child – who was eight weeks old – 21 days previously, and it was found that both mother and child were completely decomposed, although earth and grave were like those of the vampires lying nearby.
“9. A servant of the local corporal of the Heyducke, by the name of Rhade, 21 years old, died after a three-month-long illness, and after a five-week burial was found completely decomposed.
“10. The wife of the local bariactar and also her child, having died five weeks previously, were also completely decomposed.
“11. With Stanche, a local Heyducke, 60 years old; who had died six weeks previously, I noticed a profuse liquid blood, like the others, in the chest and stomach. The entire body was in the oft-named condition of vampirism.
“12. Milloe, a Heyducke, 25 years old; who had lain for six weeks in the earth, also was found in the condition of vampirism mentioned.
“13. Stanoika, the wife of a Heyducke, 20 years old, died after a three-day illness and had been buried 18 days previously. In the dissection I found that she was in her countenance quite red and of a vivid colour, and, as was mentioned above, she had been throttled, at midnight, by Milloe, the son of the Heyducke, and there was also to be seen, on the right side under the ear, a bloodshot blue mark, the length of a finger. As she was being taken out of the grave, a quantity of fresh blood flowed from her nose. With the dissection I found, as mentioned often already, a regular fragrant fresh bleeding, not only in the chest cavity, but also in ventriculo cordis. All the viscera found themselves in a completely good and healthy condition. The hypodermis of the entire body, along with the fresh nails of hands and feet, was as though completely fresh. After the examination had taken place, the heads of the vampires were cut off by the local gypsies and burned along with the bodies, and then the ashes were thrown into the river Morava. The decomposed bodies, however, were laid back into their own graves.”45
