A medieval painting shows us the magician who, transformed into a giant, builds that portent with his bare hands. Th...

The belief in the existence of vampires has its roots in the mists of time. Over the centuries, the figure of the vampire has changed profoundly to the point of assuming a romantic and aristocratic aura given to it above all by numerous 19th-century writers such as Bram Stoker, author of the famous Dracula. In 1732, an army doctor, Johannes Fluckinger, went to Medvegia , a country in the former Yugoslavia, to investigate some assassinations attributed to vampires. The locals told him about a certain Arnold Paole who claimed to be tormented by a vampire, to have got soiled with blood, and to have eaten some earth from his grave to get rid of it. When Paole died and was buried, people began to complain of being persecuted and there were four deaths.
