Abhartach

Poznat i kao: Avartagh, neamh-mairbh
Folklor i mitoviNemrtavČarobnjaštvo1500. – 1899.

Abhartach is a dwarf sorcerer-king of Ulster legend who would not stay buried. In the version Joyce printed in 1870 he is killed and interred upright three times, and only burial head-down ends his returns. The blood-drinking and the term 'walking dead' belong to later tellings, especially Bob Curran's. The story is regularly proposed as an Irish source for Dracula, though the claim remains speculative.12
