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

Pelesit (Pa-LIS-it)

In Malaysia there is a type of vampiric spirit known as a pelesit (“spirit devil”). It is created with magic by a witch to be used as her familiar. She will go into the forest on the night of a full moon and, with her back to the moon and facing a hill, recite aloud the incantations that are necessary to catch her own shadow. It is a difficult process and very often does not work on the first try. When it does finally work, a child will appear and stick out its tongue. Quickly, the witch must grab the tongue, causing the child to disappear. Shortly thereafter, the tongue will turn into a small imp, the pelesit. In another version of the spell, the witch must bite the tongue out of the corpse of a first-born child whose mother was also a firstborn child and was buried at a crossroads.

Like many familiars that must be fed a special diet, the pelesit is no different. In order for the witch to keep it alive, she must feed it blood from her fourth finger mixed with saffron rice. It has the ability to shape-shift into the form of a common house cricket, a guise the pelesit will use when employed by its witch to attack the children of the woman with whom the witch suspects her husband is having an affair, a task that it takes particular joy in. The pelesit will enter into the child’s body, and from within, cause an illness. The child will suffer from seizures and rant madly about cats. There is a particular charm that can be made or purchased that will ward off a pelesit, but it will do nothing for someone who is already under attack. Oftentimes a witch who has a pelesit as a familiar will also have a second familiar known as a POLONG. Very often the two familiars will work together to victimize a person.

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

Palis (PAL-is)

There is Persian lore of a type of vampire that is known as a palis (“licker of feet”), and as its name implies, it attacks its victims at night while they are asleep by licking the soles of their feet until they bleed. A palis by the name of DACHNAVAR once lived in a valley in the desert, and it happened upon two men who had fallen asleep foot to foot and a blanket covering them. When the vampire tried to attack, it believed that it had come upon a man with no feet and said, “I have explored 1,033 valleys, but have never seen a man with two heads”.

P’ai. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 10 April, 2019 - 02:57.

P’ai (PIE)
Variations: P’O

According to Japanese beliefs, the p’ai is the lesser of the two souls that inhabits every living person. It is present in the fetus and when the person dies; it will be the last soul to leave the deceased body. Usually, this soul only becomes active in a person when he is killed in a violent means, such as by suicide or drowning. If the p’ai of a person is particularly strong, it will use the body to fulfill its own desires, animating the corpse. When this happens, the being is called a CH’ING SHIH and is noted for its serrated teeth, long claws, and phosphorescent glow. The p’ai will not have the energy to use its animated corpse to escape the grave, so, even if possession should take place, burying the body and giving it proper burial rites will keep it in the ground and at rest.

Pacu Pati. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 10 April, 2019 - 02:52.

Pacu Pati (PA-coo PA-tee)
Variation: Lords of Herds, Masters of Human Cattle, MMBYU, Pacupati, PISACHA

A race of vampiric REVENANTs from India, the pacu pati (“masters of the herd”) are GHOUL-like beings that consume human flesh. Created through the vices of men and living mostly in cemeteries and places where executions are held, the pacu pati are evil and unfriendly, attacking their victims by possessing them and animating the corpses. Although they are well known to be mischief makers, as they are oftentimes referred to as being the Lords of Mischief Making, the pacu pati can occasionally be enticed to cure people of disease.

Owenga (Oh-WING-ah)
Variations: Owang

In Guinea, Africa, there is a type of vampiric REVENANT that is created when a person dies of a broken heart. The owenga lies in its grave making its plans for revenge, leaving only when it has decided upon a complete plan of action. When it rises it looks like a person with a single bloodshot eye. It only attacks or harms the people necessary to fulfill its revenge. Nothing will deter it from seeing its plan through to completion unless it is captured and burned to ash in its grave.

Овенга
Варианты: Ованг

В Гвинее есть вид вампирического ревенанта, который возникает, если человек умирает от разбитого сердца. Овенга лежит в могиле и строит планы мести, выходя только тогда, когда полностью определился с планом действий. Когда он поднимается, то выглядит как человек с единственным глазом, налитым кровью. Он нападает на людей или наносит вред только, если это необходимо для мести. Ничто не помешает ему довести свой план до конца, если его не поймают и не сожгут дотла в его могиле.

Ovengwa (Ov-in-WAY)
Variations: Owang

In Africa, ovengwa is a word used to describe a vampiric spirit, a “terrible catcher and eater of the dead”. An ovengwa is the returned soul of a deceased man. It is described to be as tall as a tree and winking all the time. It preys on humans, draining their blood and energy (see ENERGY VAMPIRE).

Овенгва
Варианты: Ованг

В Африке слово овенгва используется для описания вампирического духа, «ужасного ловца и пожирателя мертвых». Овенгва — это вернувшаяся душа мертвеца. По описаниям он высокий как дерево и все время моргает. Овенгва охотится на людей, высасывая их кровь и энергию (смотри «Энергетический вампир»).

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

Submitted by Алкэ on 3 April, 2019 - 04:20.

Ovengua (Ov-in-GUAY)
Variations: Owang, Oweng, OWENGA

The vampiric spirit of the ovengua comes from Guinea, Africa. When an evil sorcerer dies, his bones will begin to escape from the grave one at a time and gather in a secret location. Eventually, when they have all come together, the bones will reassemble themselves and become an ovengua, a skeletal spirit being that has large hooks for hands. Hiding in caves by day and wandering the forests at night, the ovengua will attack any lone traveler it sees and try to possess the person. Should the ovengua win, it will kill the person and animate the corpse to use as its own. The only way to destroy it is, unfortunately, to wait until it has claimed a body — then capture it and burn it to ash.

Otgiruru (Ot-GOO-roo)
Variations: Owenga

The Herero people of Namibia, Africa, say that when an evil sorcerer dies, he will rise up as a vampiric REVENANT known as an otgiruru. Looking like a common dog, the otgiruru walks harmlessly about, and when no one is looking, calls out. Whoever answers the call, the otgiruru will kill, drinking his blood and consuming his soft tissue organs.

Похожий на обычную собаку, отгируру безвредно бродит вокруг, а когда никто не смотрит на него, кричит. Кто бы ни отозвался на зов, отгируру убьет его, выпив кровь и съев внутренности.

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

Submitted by Алкэ on 3 April, 2019 - 04:09.

Ornias (Oar-NEE-ahs)

In ancient Hebrew lore, there is a vampiric demon known as Ornias. It was one of many demons mentioned in the Testament of Solomon. It would appear to people in the form of fire, a lion, or a horrid winged creature. It would shapeshift into a beautiful woman and trick men into having sex with it, draining their sexual energy and potency much like an INCUBUS (see ENERGY VAMPIRE). Ornias would seek out men whose zodiac sign was Aquarius and strangle them to death, leaching off their life- energy as it did so. It did this because it resided in the constellation of Aquarius. Further the only way to save one of its victims before he died was to press the Seal of Solomon against the demon’s chest.

During the construction of King Solomon’s temple, Ornias appeared to one of the laborers, stealing half of his wages as well as draining the life-energy from one of his sons. The laborer sought the king for help and Solomon prayed to God for insight or intervention. His prayers were answered. The archangel Michael delivered to Solomon a ring with the seal of God upon it, giving the bearer power over demons. Solomon used the ring not only to stop Ornias from its daily muggings and assaults but also to bind other demons and use them as part of his labor force to build his temple.

Occasionally Ornias was summoned by magicians and witches who sought to divine the future, as this demon could be persuaded to fly up into the heavens and glean the future as it is written in the stars. As it would descend back to earth, Ornias looked like a shooting star. However, continued use of its abilities would cause his summoner to waste away.
