Vampire - Governor

Vampire - Governor
Jealous husband rose from the grave to avenge his wife ...

In the early 19 th century in Russia there was one of the worst cases of vampirism, which has ever recorded. Governor of Charles was a man of sixty, spiteful, cruel and jealous tyrant

Invested with despotic power, he used it without restraint as suggested to him his animal instincts. And he fell in love with the pretty daughter of his subordinate officials. Although she was engaged to a young man whom she loved, the tyrant forced her father to consent to marriage, and the poor victim, despite her despair, became his wife, have become apparent with might and main his jealous nature, he beat her and kept her trapped for weeks in her room and forbade her to see someone not otherwise, as in his presence. Finally he fell ill and died. But when he realized that his end was approaching, he made her swear that she will marry will not work, and with dreadful oaths, he threatened her that if she marries, violating an oath, he would return to her from the grave and kill her. He was buried in the cemetery beyond the river, and a young widow no further trouble had not experienced before as long as nature does not overcame her fears and she was heeding the pleas of his former lover, has renewed her engagement with him. At night, after the customary celebration of the betrothal, when all had gone to bed, the old country estate was awakened by the desperate cries coming from her room. Broke the door and found the poor woman lying in blood in a dead faint. At the same time we could hear the coach rattled out of the yard. At the woman's body was found black and blue bruises, as if from emergencies, from a small puncture in the neck oozing drops of blood. When consciousness returned to her, she reported that her deceased husband's friend came into the room as if such appearance, as in life, except that I was terribly pale, he reproached her for her inconstancy, and then beat her and pinched cruelly . Her story did not believe it, but the next morning the guards, set out at the end of the bridge connecting both banks of the river, was told that just before the onset of midnight black coach with six horses furiously swept past them toward the city, not answering the cry of the prison. The new governor, who did not believe this story of a ghost, nonetheless take precautions, doubling the guard at the end of the bridge. However, night after night repeating the same de, and the soldiers carrying the guard, said that the barrier to their outpost at the bridge itself rises, despite their efforts to stop. At the same time every night and the coach rattled drove into the courtyard of the old home guard, including the widow's family and servants, fell into a deep sleep and every morning the young victim had bruises welling blood and fainted, as before. The whole city was in consternation. Doctors could not give any explanation, the priests came to spend the night in prayer, but as soon as midnight approached, all covered awful lethargy. Finally, the regional archbishop himself came and made a ritual of expulsion, but the next morning, the state of widows was worse than ever. She was already on the verge of death. The governor was finally forced to resort to stringent measures to stop the ever-increasing panic in the city. He put on the bridge floor hundreds of Cossacks with orders to stop the ghostly coach at any cost. Exactly at the usual hour, and heard and saw, as the coach of the cemetery close to the city. The officer guards and a priest carrying a cross, stood in front of a barrier along and shouted: "In the name of God and the king - who goes there?". In the window of the carriage was pushed head-remembered and familiar voice replied: "Most of the privy councilor and governor of AK!" At the same moment the officer, the priest and the Cossacks were pushed aside as if by electric current, and a ghostly carriage dashed past them before they time to breathe. Then the archbishop decided to resort to time-honored way - dig a corpse nailed him to the ground oak stake through the heart. This was done with great religious ceremony in the presence of the entire population. They say that the body was found with a full throat blood, with red cheeks and lips. At the moment when the first blow was struck by the end of the stake, a groan came from the corpse and the jet of blood spurted high into the air. The Archbishop said the usual prayers for such cases of expulsion, and the corpse was re-buried in the ground. And since then nothing more was heard of the vampire.
