In Poland and Russia, vampires maketheir appearance from noon to midnight[13]instead of between nightfall and dawn, therule that generally prevails. They comeand suck the blood of living men andanimals in such abundance that sometimesit flows from them at the nose andears, and occasionally in such profusionthat the corpse swims in the blood thusoozing from it as it lies in the coffin. Onemay become immune from the attacks ofvampires by mixing this blood with flourand making bread from the mixture, aportion of which must be eaten; otherwisethe charm will not work. The Californiansheld that the mere breaking ofthe spine of the corpse was sufficient toprevent its return as a vampire. Sometimesheavy stones were piled on the graveto keep the ghost within, a practice towhich Frazer traces the origin of funeralcairns and tombstones. Two resolutionsof the Sorbonne, passed between 1700 and1710, prohibited the cutting off of the headsand the maiming of the bodies of personssupposed to be vampires.
The Kashoubes say that when a vieszcy,as they call a vampire, wakes from his sleepwithin the grave he begins to gnaw hishands and feet, and as he gnaws, first hisrelatives, and then his neighbours, sicken[110]and die. When he has finished his ownstore of flesh, he rises at midnight anddestroys cattle or climbs a belfry andsounds the bell. All who hear the ill-omenedtones will soon die. Generally hesucks the blood of sleepers.
On the night of the customary betrothalfeast, when all had retired, the old mansionwas aroused by shrieks proceeding from herroom. The doors were burst open, and theunhappy woman was found lying on her bedin a swoon. At the same time a carriagewas heard rumbling out of the courtyard.Her body was found to be black and bluein places, as from the effect of pinches, andfrom a slight puncture in her neck dropsof blood were oozing. Upon recovering, shestated that her deceased husband had suddenlyentered her room, appearing exactlyas in life, with the exception of a dreadfulpallor; that he had upbraided her for herinconstancy, and then beaten and pinched[127]her most cruelly. Her story was disbelieved;but the next morning the guardstationed at the other end of the bridgewhich spans the river reported that justbefore midnight a black coach-and-six haddriven furiously past without answeringtheir challenge.
One Mith-othin, who was famous forhis juggling tricks, was quickened, asthough by an inspiration from on High,to seize the opportunity of feigning tobe a god; and, wrapping the minds ofthe barbarians in fresh darkness, he ledthem by the renown of his jugglings topay holy observance to his name. He saidthat the wrath of the gods could neverbe appeased nor the outrage to theirdeity expiated by mixed and indiscriminatesacrifices, and, therefore, forbade thatprayers for this end should be put upwithout distinction, appointing to each ofthose above his especial drink-offering.But when Odin was returning, he cast awayall help of jugglings, went to Finland tohide himself, and was there attacked andslain by the inhabitants. Even in hisdeath his abominations were made manifest,for those who came nigh his barrow werecut off by a kind of sudden death; and,after his end, he spread such pestilencethat he seemed almost to leave a filthierrecord in his death than in his life; it wasas though he would extort from the guilty[133]a punishment for his slaughter. The inhabitantsbeing in this trouble, took thebody out of the mound, beheaded it, andimpaled it through the breast with asharp stake, and herein that people foundrelief.
