Jure Grando

Rinonziwo: Giure Grando, Jure Grando Alilović

Jure Grando of Kringa is often described as the first named individual recorded as a vampire in European print. The Carniolan scholar Valvasor reported how, sixteen years after Grando's death, the villagers and their priest dug him up, failed to stake him and finally cut off his head. The door-knocking that marks a household for death recurs across Balkan and Greek revenant lore. Kringa now promotes the story to visitors.12
