Vjesci

Juga disebut: wupji, opji, Kashubian vampire, Vampyr of Kashubia

The vjesci is the vampire of the Kashubians of Pomerania, a person marked for undeath by being born with a caul. After burial the corpse chews its own shroud and limbs, then kills its family in order of kinship and at last the whole parish by tolling the bell. Kashubian households tried to prevent it at birth by feeding the powdered caul to the child. It combines the shroud-eating of German lore with the walking, feeding corpse of the Slavic vampire.1

It first eats its own shroud and the flesh of its hands and feet1

It then devours the living, beginning with its closest kin and working outwards1

When no relatives are left it rings the church bells at night, and everyone within earshot dies1

Beheading with a sexton's spade stops the deaths1

The self-devouring in the grave links it to the German Nachzehrer1
