Tinatawag ding: William Laudun's revenant, Walter Map's Welshman

Walter Map tells of a dead Welshman who walked nightly near Hereford and summoned his neighbours to death by name. The bishop's prescribed cure of holy water and a cut neck failed, and the haunting ended only when the knight William Laudun pursued the corpse to its grave and beheaded it. The name-calling motif turns up again centuries later in the Greek vrykolakas. Map also records gentler cases settled by a cross on the grave or priestly absolution.1 2

Ano ang sabi ng mga pinagmulan

Everyone he named fell ill and died within three days1 2

The English knight William Laudun took the case to Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of Hereford1 2

The bishop advised exhuming the body, cutting the neck with a spade and sprinkling holy water1 2

The remedy did not work, and the corpse then called Laudun's own name1 2

Laudun chased it back to the grave and cut off its head himself1 2
