Vampire in Serbia Has Residents Living in Fear

The mayor of a small village in western Serbia has issued a public health warning, urging inhabitants to practice caution as there may be a vampire on the loose.

Mayor Miodrag Vujetic, of the small town of Zorazje, is warning citizens to beware of Sava Savanovic, a legendary vampire who, according to local folklore, has lived under a decaying water mill located on the Rogacica River.

"People are very worried. Everybody knows the legend of this vampire and the thought that he is now homeless and looking for somewhere else and possibly other victims is terrifying people," Mayor Vujetic told ABC News, adding that all of the villagers are very frightened.

"I understand that people who live elsewhere in Serbia are laughing at our fears, but here most people have no doubt that vampires exist," Vujetic added. Read more
