The Upior or Upier is a vampire of
Eastern Slavic folklore and may be where our word vampire comes from.
This should not be confused with the Upir, Upyr, or Upour as they
are different legends. This particular breed varies a bit from the
vampire we know and love as it sleeps most of the night and arises
between noon and midnight (not unlike most teenagers on a weekend).
This version of the vampire is known for it's amazing thirst for
blood that can never be quenched (the Upior even sleeps in blood).
It consumes it's victims blood through its sharp menacing barbed
tongue. When burying a family member that is feared will return as
one of these fierce creatures, the family would place the body facing
down and place crosses made of willow under each arm pit and under
the chest.
Welcome to vampire creed. This is a place were the history and folk lore of the vampire will be discussed as well as true stories of the undead. A place where you can learn about the origin of the creature of the night and all the tales that go with it. Together will learn the ways of this beast and see the world not only through the terrified eyes of his pray but also through the eyes of the night dweller himself. . . Together we will know the vampire creed.
