Sriz. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Sriz (SHREEZ)

In the Silesia region of Poland, there is a type of vampire that is called a sriz. It climbs to the highest place in a community and calls out a person’s name. That same night, the person will die. What is interesting about this vampire is that there is no method given for how the sriz comes into being and what if anything it gains from the death it causes.

Шриз

В Силезии, регионе Польши, есть вид вампира, который называется шриз. Он поднимается на самое высокое место в округе и выкрикивает имя человека. В ту же ночь тот человек умрет. Самое интересное в этом вампире то, что неизвестна причина возникновения шриза, а также что он получает, если получает, от смерти, которую вызывает.

Soulis, Lord of Hermitage Castle. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 30 April, 2019 - 06:52.

Soulis, Lord of Hermitage Castle (SOOLS)
Variations: The Bad Lord Soulis, William Lord Soulis, Evil Lord De Soulis

Lord Soulis of Hermitage Castle in Roxboroughshire, Scotland, was believed to be a VAMPIRIC WITCH that made a pact with the devil back in the fourteenth century (see LIVING VAMPIRE). He was described as a largely built man who had as a constant companion a blood- drinking imp he called Robin REDCAP. He exploited his position of power, enjoying the fact that he could inflict both physical pain and humiliation upon people. He also terrorized the people of his lands, kidnapping men, women, and children to torture them and use in the practice of his dark arts, both by drinking their blood and offering their lives up in sacrifice. His familiar had used its magic upon Lord Soulis and rendered him impervious to attacks by steel and rope. Eventually tales of his cruelty reached the Crown and an investigation followed. Ultimately, Lord Soulis was found guilty on charges of conspiracy against Robert Bruce and was imprisoned in Dumbarton Castle, where he died, but many folks have claimed that his ghost, still accompanied by his familiar, haunts his old home of Hermitage Castle.

There is an eighteenth-century ballad that tells a tale of Lord Soulis, but it says that he was overrun by his own people and taken to Druid’s Circle to be killed. The song says that his own people boiled him in lead and wrapped his encased body in a sheet, which was then hauled off to a secret location and buried. All of this was done in the hopes that the devil would not be able to find the evil man and resurrect him.

Soucayant. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 30 April, 2019 - 06:44.

Soucayant (Soo-CA-yant)
Variations: Heg, Ol’ Higue, Soucouyant, Soucouyen, Soukoyan

On the island of Trinidad there is a vampiric creature called a soucayant that looks like an old woman who sleeps all day. However, at night, it removes its skin and emerges as a ball of light, resembling a CORPSE CANDLE, and flies out looking for sleeping people to attack in order to drink their blood. Victims of the attack will have two small bite marks side by side someplace on the body.

If the soucayant is seen before it attacks, the vampire can be driven off by beating it with a stick. The next day the victim can search the community for an old woman who is covered in bruises. When he finds her, he has found the soucayant. Like many of the vampires who can remove their skin and turn into a ball of light, such as the ASEMA and the ASWANG MANNANANGGAL, if one can find its shed skin and rub it with SALT, its hide will shrivel up. When the soucayant returns, it will not be able to fit back into its skin and will die when the sun rises. Also, like the ASEMA and the CH’ING SHIH, the soucayant is compelled to count seeds it comes across. The easiest way to kill a soucayant is to toss a handful of poppy seeds down at the crossroads, as the vampire will be compelled to count them all, a feat that will take all night. The light from the rising sun will then destroy it.

Skogsfru. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 30 April, 2019 - 06:26.

 
Skogsfru (Scocks-FRU)
Variations: Huldra, Skogsra, Swor, Tallemaja, Wood Wife, Wood Woman

In Scandinavia there is a type of vampiric fay that looks like a beautiful woman with long auburn HAIR and a cow tail. It is called skogsfru. It lives in the woods and usually approaches a young man at night while he is at rest in his campsite. It tries to use its beauty to seduce him. While engaged in sexual intercourse, it will drain him of his life-energy (see ENERGY VAMPIRE). On occasion, the skogsfru will decide not to harm the man and marry him instead. Sadly, their union will not last as it is a fay, an inherently wild creature, and will eventually return to the woods. The abandoned husband will slowly begin to die, longing for its touch. It is considered an unlucky omen to see a skogsfru, as it causes madness in its lovers.

Skatene. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 30 April, 2019 - 06:16.

 
Skate’ne (Skay-TEEN)
Variations: STIKINI

There is a monstrous, vampiric humanoid that is part of the mythology of the Choctaw Indians in the southeastern United States, called the skatene. It pretends to be a good person and gains the trust of a family with small children. Once the skatene has been taken into their confidence, it will sneak into their home one night and behead the father, taking its prize with it as it escapes off into the night. The skatene has the ability to shape-shift into a huge owl. It is only vulnerable to the attack of the wildcat, as that is the only animal that is not afraid of it. The skatene was most likely never based on any real animal or lore but rather developed strictly as a nursery bogey, a tale told to young children to teach them that it can be dangerous to talk to and trust a stranger.

Sile na Gig. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 30 April, 2019 - 06:03.

Sile na Gig (SHEE-lah na GIG)
Variations: An Chailleach Beara (“the Old Woman of Beara”), Black Annis, Clotha, Hag, Old Hag, Sheelagh na Gig, Sila na Gig

In the Celtic lore of Ireland, Sile na Gig was a type of vampiric earth spirit or mother goddess from which all life came forth. Hideously ugly with an extended vulva, pot belly, twisted face, and withered breasts, her image was commonly found even after it was outlawed by the Church. It is possible that Sile na Gig was in fact originally a little-known Celtic goddess by the name of Clotha. She was the embodiment of battle and the weaver of soldiers’ burial shrouds. The goddess had similar traits to the BANSHEE and washed bloody shrouds at the riverbank much like the WASHERWOMEN OF THE NIGHT.

Shuten-Doji. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 30 April, 2019 - 05:52.

Shuten-Doji (SHOE-tin Dodge-EE)

In Japanese lore, there is a hideously ugly and deformed vampiric REVENANT known as shutendoji (“sake-drinking lad”). Carefully using its long clawed fingers, the shuten- doji plays on its flute a mesmerizing tune that places anyone who listens to it into a trancelike state. Once the person is under its spell, the shuten-doji kills him with its long claws, drinking the blood. Usually this vampire keeps to itself, as it does not even like the company of its own kind. Beyond its remarkable flute-playing abilities and its claws, the shuten-doji has the strength and reflexes of an average human being.

Shtriga. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 30 April, 2019 - 05:40.

Shtriga (STREE-ga)
Variation: Stringla

Albanian lore tells of a female VAMPIRIC WITCH known as a shtriga, which preys on children (see LIVING VAMPIRE). By day the witch lives as a normal member of the community, even attending church; but at night it hunts for children in its animal form of a bee, fly, or moth. It approaches the child while it is asleep and steals its life-energy, leaving the body completely undisturbed in the bed (see ENERGY VAMPIRE). Parents oftentimes leave a piece of GARLIC flavored bread near their sleeping child, as GARLIC is a repellent to the shtriga.

To determine who in the community may be a shtriga, one must wait until everyone has gone into the church to celebrate mass. Then, while everyone is inside, using some pig bones, one can make a cross and hang it over the church doors. Everyone who is not a shtriga will be able to pass through the door and outside, leaving the shtriga trapped within.

Shtriga periodically spit up blood; some say that it is the blood of their victims. If a person takes some of that blood and places it on a silver coin and then wraps it in a cloth, it can be used as a charm to keep the shtriga away.

Sheerree (SHRE)
Variations: Strix Nocturna

The Berber people of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco have in their mythology a vampiric bird with a woman’s breasts. Preying on newborn and nursing children, the sheerree hunts at night. The fate of the child depends entirely on which breast it is drawn to. If the child suckles from the correct breast, it will live; if it chooses incorrectly, it will die.

Шири
Варианты: Стрикс Ноктюрна

В мифологии берберов, живущих на горном хребте Высокий Атлас в Марокко, есть вампирическая птица с женской грудью. Шири рыскает по ночам, охотясь на новорожденных и детей, кормящихся грудью Судьба ребенка полностью зависит от того, к какой груди он тянется. Если ребенок сосет из правильной груди, он будет жить, если выберет неправильно — умрет.

Shaitans. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 30 April, 2019 - 04:32.

Shaitans (SHE-tans)
Variations: Mazikeen, Shaytan, Shedeem, Shedim, Shehireem, Sheytan

Shaitans (“to be born violent”) are vampiric beings from Arabic and Rabbinic lore, but from that lore, their pedigree is varied. Some claim that the shaitans are the male children that were born to LILITH and her demon husband, Sammael; their female counterparts are called LILIM. Other sources say that the nomenclature of shaitans also includes the children born from LILITH and her first husband, Adam. Still other sources claim that the shaitans are the children fathered by Adam during the 130 years of separation from Eve.

Regardless of their parentage, the shaitans live in deserted places and are described as being winged men with talon feet. They have the ability of divination, flight, invisibility, and shapeshifting, and are skilled magic users as well.
