Vjesci

Er numnà: wupji, opji, Kashubian vampire, Vampyr of Kashubia
Folclore e mitusNunmort

The vjesci is the vampire of the Kashubians of Pomerania, a person marked for undeath by being born with a caul. After burial the corpse chews its own shroud and limbs, then kills its family in order of kinship and at last the whole parish by tolling the bell. Kashubian households tried to prevent it at birth by feeding the powdered caul to the child. It combines the shroud-eating of German lore with the walking, feeding corpse of the Slavic vampire.1
