ZAROZJE, Serbia (AP) — Get your garlic, crosses and stakes ready: a bloodsucking vampire is on the loose.
Or
so say villagers in the tiny western Serbian hamlet of Zarozje, nestled
between lush green mountain slopes and spooky thick forests. They say
rumors that a legendary vampire ghost has awakened are spreading fear —
and a potential tourist opportunity — through the remote village.
A
local council warned villagers to put garlic in their pockets and place
wooden crosses in their rooms to ward off vampires, although it
appeared designed more to attract visitors to the impoverished region
bordering Bosnia.
Many of the villagers are aware that Sava
Savanovic, Serbia's most famous vampire, is a fairy tale. Still, they
say, better to take it seriously than risk succumbing to the vampire's
fangs.
