A vampire from Moldavian and Romanian mythology, into which hanged people turn. In some areas of Romania, strigoi are also called Moroi.
In Romanian mythology, strigoi have red hair, blue eyes and two hearts, although they may have different appearances. They become people possessed by evil spirits, who after death begin to come out of the grave, drink people's blood, torture them, send nightmares. The main feature, as with an ordinary vampire, is the absence of traces of decay of the buried body.
When trying to kill a strigoi, it begins to move and make sounds.
Grave grave is used to search for a strigoi in a cemetery, so that it steps over the graves and, if the horse starts to rest, rearing up, not wanting to step over the grave, then this indicates that he is in this grave.
To kill a strigoi, they cut off his head and put him face down. The heart is also cut out and burned or a stake is stuck into the heart (usually wooden, but in Romania burials with an iron stake in the heart area were found).
