Jure Grando

Λέγεται και: 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.1 2

A stonemason of Kringa in Istria who died of illness in 16561 2

For sixteen years he was said to knock on doors at night, and someone in each house died soon after1 2

He was also said to assault his widow in her bed1 2

Nine villagers opened the grave and found the body intact and smiling1 2

The stake rebounded from his chest; when a villager sawed off the head the corpse screamed and bled1 2
