On several occasions, particularly on the periphery of the Habsburg Empire during the 17th and 18th centuries, dead people were suspected of being revenants or vampires, and consequently dug up and destroyed. Some contemporary authors named this phenomenon Magia Posthuma. This blog is dedicated to understanding what happened and why.

Kisilova
I happened to find this short video from Kisiljevo which must be the Kisiljevo in the area that in the early 18th century was known as the Rahmer-District taking its name from the fortress Ram. So in these lovely surroundings the well-known Serbian vampire case concerning a certain Peter Plogojowitz was investigated in 1725!

Hey. I am serbian and Peter is NOT a serbian name. Neither I nor my mother (who gre up in Serbia) have EVER heard of this town. I stumbled across this in a book I was reading about vampires (just for fun.) While the incident did happen in 1828. Names could've have been changed in that short time. I found the last comment bizzar because that is the last name of my cousins husband. Eh, maybe she married a vampire? Who knows what out there. Maybe its even more than vampires. Maybe its something else? We really don't know.
Petar is a Serbian name. Maybe not of serbian origin but is used in Serbia and it is a very common name in Serbia. And just because your mom didn't hear of the village Kisiljevo it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That village does exist in Serbia . Google it.
