Pricolici & Strigoi - A Meet-cute From Hell - European - Extra Mythology

Watch Extra Mythology ad-free on Nebula! go.nebula.tv/extramythology
When someone who has lived a rotten life dies, their spirit is sent to the underworld to be tormented by demons. But what happens if that soul is SO bad, the demons admire and praise it instead? That, my friends, is how two fearsome monsters are born. Meet the Pricolici and the Strigoi, two creatures that look very similar to our modern conception of the werewolf and the vampire. And one might have influenced literature forever.

    I grew up in Transylvania, and my grandparents were oldschool peasants with a house right next to the graveyard. So many unslept nights and nightmares after hearing my grandma's tales about the pricolici and the strigoi she saw as a young girl, in the olden days before electricity and all this modernity cast away the spirits. Strigoi actually means "Caller" or "Screamer", because they would come up to your window at night and call you by your name. And if you heard them, nothing and nobody could stop you from following their call. You would fight off any family member who tried to keep you from exiting that door. The victims they chose are people who would accidentally step into tracks left by the strigoi in the fields. If you thought you stepped in a strigoi track, you would best tie yourself to the bed that night with rope. Or get so drunk that you would pass out and not hear their call. Pricolici would roam around the countryside by rolling up into wheels and spin from village to village dizzyingly fast, and when they found a lone stragler late at night on the fields or streets, they would take a giant dog's form and attack. Sometimes when they curled into wheels, you could hear metal chains clattering and they would even light up as if of fire.

    Stoker was also influenced by Irish mythology, being Irish himself. The tales of Abhartach, a vampiric dwarf slain by a mythic Irish king using a wooden sword/stake, and the Castle of the Tainted Blood (Dun Dreach-Fhoula) overlooking a mountain pass in Co Kerry said to be haunted by blood-drinking shapeshifters were probably know by him. Also there is "Camilla " a story written by the Irish author Sheridan LaFanu in 1870 which was popular at the time. Vampirism is a well known mythic phenomenon across the whole world and Stoker was living at a place (London) and time (Victorian era) where he was uniquely placed to amalgamate many traditions into our modern horror genre. Only today, thanks to the internet, can we do the same. Who knows what from our modern world will be considered classics by the future

    You know what's the most nuts part about this whole deal? Up until very few years ago, people in rural areas in Romania still believed in Strigoi. If a family member had dreams of their recently deceased relative, it was a sign they are strigoi. If several dreamt of that deceased relative, even more. It couldn''t possibly be the fact that they lost a relative and had them on their mind. So, anyway, they would go to the cemetery, cops and all that, get the coffin out, open it, see that the body has blood from ears, nose, eyes, mouth, and of course, it's a strigoi, not the 2nd stage of putrefaction. Thusly, one should carve the heart out, burn it to ashes, put the ashes in water or holy water and serve it to the relatives. Here is one of the tons of cases: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iIWK2LKKiMKrqsY.html Some people like crickett, some people are into digging out corpses and doing stuff to them. But when an entire village does that, no wonder we're not in the Eurozone. Still, awesome tourist attraction for those who are tired of lame horror movies and wanna experience an entire village pandemic of fear.

    Love this! So on point! Though I don't know if Romanian superstitions are the source of the "Don't let them in" myth, it certainly was around when I was a kid at the beginning of the 90's. Before we adopted Halloween, we had St. Andrew's. It was said that on that night, the dead could roam the land of the living and the way to keep them out was by hanging cloves of garlic and smearing garlic around entry points. Legend had it that your dead loved ones would come back and tempt you with sweet words to let them in and you had to not give in, for it wasn't them anymore. A funny / cruel joke some would play on their neighbors or families was to sneak out and knock on the door, then run off. I distinctly remember visiting my grandparents in a remote village on St. Andrew's and hearing knocks at the door on when I was playing around the house and my entire family was in the kitchen. I just assumed it was the dead. Sadly, that tradition disappeared with the adoption of intercoms and changing of the generations.

    A "moroi" is a different name for "strigoi". The Expanatory Dictionary of Romanian language defines a "moroi" as a "ghost or a strigoi who is believed to have been born from an unbaptised child killed or buried alive or from a deceased person who has not received a proper religious service following death".2. A mean ghost who is believed to suckle on cows' blood or milk and who frightens children.

    Moroi are the vengeful spirit of an infant who died unbaptised. It takes seven years for the moroi to form. The legend says that in the night of the seventh year aniversary of the child's death, a passerby through the cemetery can hear the child's cries. They will cry "cruce, cruce" meaning cross, or in other sources "botez, botez" meaning, well, bapsise (or how it is written in english). It is said that the person who hears the cries can save the infant's soul by finding their grave and reciting the incantation "se botează robul lui Dumbezeu, Ion sau Maria, în numele Tatălui, Fiului și Sfântului Spirit. Amin." After that they throw a white rag on the grave. If no one is there to save theinfant, then they will become a moroi. They become asort of vampiric creature, too weak to be a threat to an afult or teenager. It can appear as an nasty looking dog, but usually if you give it food, il will leave you alone. Just because it can't kill you, doesn't mean its bite isn't nasty. The only night in the year when a moroi can kill is at midnight at Saint Andrew's (Sfântul Andrei) night, which was fixated over an ancient dacian hollyday calked the Night of the Wolf (kinda like a Romanian Halloween). The real victim of the moroi is the cemetery's caretaker and their family, since the moroi will constantly torment then, almost haunting style, while sucking the life out and kill their animals, AND their small children, if they have any. The only way the family can escape is to move away. The moroi won't follow, it will just remain in the cemetery, awaiting a new family to move into the caretaker's house.

    This is a MASSIVE oversimplification and it varies according to regions in Romania, but basically: Strigoi = living evil person whose soul exits their body at night and causes harm to livestock and property. Moroi = a dead evil person who comes out of the grave to absorb life from people it knew iwhen alive, often family and friends. Pricolici = Living person with wolf head and huge claws. Eats livestock and humans, preffers livers. Your standard werewolf. Varcolac = undead werewolf.

    You know what's the most nuts part about this whole deal? Up until very few years ago, people in rural areas in Romania still believed in Strigoi. If a family member had dreams of their recently deceased relative, it was a sign they are strigoi. If several dreamt of that deceased relative, even more. It couldn''t possibly be the fact that they lost a relative and had them on their mind. So, anyway, they would go to the cemetery, cops and all that, get the coffin out, open it, see that the body has blood from ears, nose, eyes, mouth, and of course, it's a strigoi, not the 2nd stage of putrefaction. Thusly, one should carve the heart out, burn it to ashes, put the ashes in water or holy water and serve it to the relatives. Here is one of the tons of cases: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iIWK2LKKiMKrqsY.html Some people like crickett, some people are into digging out corpses and doing stuff to them. But when an entire village does that, no wonder we're not in the Eurozone. Still, awesome tourist attraction for those who are tired of lame horror movies and wanna experience an entire village pandemic of fear.

    Yes and no ,in most translation of ,,werewolf" the word used is ,,Vârcolac " but in the romanian mythology a pricolici resembles more the idea of an werewolf ,while the vârcolacs (vârcolaci) are the spirits said to eat the sun and moon and usher in the new season

    pricolici are more shapeshifters than straight up werewolves, either way they usually take the form a canines but can be anything really, even formless spirits, same for strigoi moroi etc. These name are just regional words for more or less the same creature, eventually morphed into three separate entities each being attributed different traits that once were shared
