This was called red book in my countryā€¦i dont remember what the red book was, but the bible could be used too. There was some stuff involving using scissors and whatnot but forgot howā€¦i guess you just stick them in the book and then read where they got at.

Story timeā€¦

Story number 1 (again, these are things relatives, neighbors told me, so I have no idea how accurate they are, but stillā€¦):

The following story is old, brutal, it does not end wellā€¦

One neighbor, originally from a different county told me something which happened in their village, decades ago, idk, anyway, in the first half of the 20th century (I think, but it could be XIX century, who knows, old story) ā€¦
Beware, those were other times, people with certain old mentality, etc.

In a village in Transilvania, cows were not giving their milk, people suspicious, started to talk and someone, whose cow was currently not giving milk, said that he shall stay hidden and observe.

He observed and he saw a huge cat going in and sucking milk from the cow, he suddenly confronted the cat with a pitchfork and stabbed it in the forehead, but ā€œthe catā€ retreated, it disappeared; he called for all villagers to gather and see who (or if one of them) was responsible, and one old woman did not showed upā€¦

People went to her house and found her with bandages on her forehead area; they removed those and found her with pitchfork marks/wounds right where that guy stabbed the catā€¦
Supposedly they took her somewhere and killed her.

You can say she was innocent, who knowsā€¦
Tragic end.

Any thougths?

I have other stories, not that brutal.

Iā€™m glad they arenā€™t that brutal.

I never heard of cat people though. It would be uncommon there? Like, there are no tigers there right?

No tigers.

In romanian folklore, There are supposedly 2 types of Strigoi: dead and alive ones.

The dead start searching for victims, many times from their own families, they suck blood and/or feed on someoneā€™s energy.

The (a)live oned are people, just like me and you, but supernatural onesā€¦

Werecat. Sounds cool. Death sentence for stealing milk is harsh though. She wasnā€™t stealing peopleā€™s kids to eat or anything just some milk.

Yes, VERY HARSH Sentenceā€¦

I would have tried to make a deal with her. Like you get this amount of milk every month but you have to show up in cat form if Iā€™m ever attacked by bandits.

Sounds like an easy recipe for witch hunts. But how would I know, may be real.

Both equally scary. Usually in the stories the alive ones could have powers to control the other ones?

Spain had its own strigois but it wasnā€™t that common. They also got away with whatever they did.

There were nobles and stuff, that took blood from children (not the typical weā€™re messed up in the head elites, but for medical research or medicine, that wasnā€™t that advanced back then). Apparently this kind of thing always happened while there were real strigois. When the doctor doing stuff was found, and other more normal stuff (some deranged people that liked to eat humans or whatever), the strigois disappeared.

So yeah, there wasnā€™t enough space for speculation. But some people swear they did meet them, and they just left at the right time.

The alive ones are more dangerous in some ways, the dead ones more dangerous in other ways.

They donā€™t like garlic, for some reason, although I donā€™t know if it kills them, more like it repells them.
