Peter Plogojowitz

Λέγεται και: Petar Blagojević, Петар Благојевић

Peter Plogojowitz is one of the best documented cases of a village destroying a suspected walking corpse. After a run of sudden deaths in Kisilova in 1725, the villagers forced the local Austrian administrator to witness the exhumation, staking and burning of the dead man. His report was printed in the Vienna paper Wienerisches Diarium and reprinted across Europe. Together with the Arnold Paole affair it launched the 18th-century vampire debate, and the 'signs' he described are now understood as normal decomposition.1 2

Τι λένε οι πηγές

A peasant of Kisilova, then newly under Habsburg rule, who died in 17251 2

Nine people died within eight days, each after about a day's illness, saying he had throttled them at night1 2

His widow said he had come back to ask for his shoes, and she left the village1 2

The exhumed body was undecayed, with new skin and nails, grown hair and beard and blood in the mouth1 2

When staked, fresh blood ran from the ears and mouth; the official asked his superiors not to blame him for allowing it1 2
