20. Jure Grando’s career as a vampire lasted 16 years
In 1656, Jure Grando died in Istria (modern Croatia). He lived his life quietly and won the respect of his neighbors, but that all changed when he died. For Grando didn’t stay resting for long. The night after his burial, Grando began roaming the village and terrorizing the locals. Grando knocked on doors, and soon afterwards one of the inhabitants would die. After 16 years, locals finally found the courage to put a stop to this. Disinterring the corpse, they found Grando’s smiling body bloated, ruddy, and fully intact. After saying a prayer, they beheaded him. Grando never came back.
