Вампиры в преданиях и истории, часть 1

Vampires have always been popular—in books, films, and TV series—and much about them is a legacy of books and films, not true legends and traditions. Vampires who fear sunlight and garlic are a modern cultural image. Let's put that aside and seek the true origins of vampire lore in history. Let's recall vampire "relatives" and "ancestors"—strigoi, ghouls, alps, and draugr. We'll discuss the vampires of Europe, in the Middle Ages and beyond. And we'll save the peak of vampire lore—the vampirism epidemics and their aftermath—for the second episode. 00:00 Vampire fashion. 03:39 The word "vampire." 09:44 The power of blood. 14:21 Alps, draugr, and other relatives. 22:59 Strigoi. 33:27 Vampires. 38:49 Vampire Colonel. 40:22 Vampires of Europe. 42:02 Seeking an Explanation. 48:33 A Treatise on the Appearance of Angels, Demons, and Spirits.
