Abhartach: The bloodthirsty Irish Vampire who predates Dracula

In the misty hills of Ireland, an ancient grave hides a bloodthirsty ruler who refused to stay buried. They say his thirst for blood birthed a legend older than Dracula.

And Bram Stoker was Irish.

Wonder if Abhartach was his inspiration?

[@LordBelial1978]

Is this who the vampire in Boys From County Hell is based on. It's set in Ireland. Guys messing about in a field during working hours accidentally unearth an ancient vampire from the tomb it was imprisoned in. I have had the Blu-ray for a while. I need to watch it.

I'm not sure, but that's an interesting question.

[@Gangrel442003]

You are correct. And the creature he became was known as a neamh-marbh.

Read the book "Scithain".

He wasn't assassinated. He broke his neck when he fell from a tower.

[@MonstersMysteriesUnveiled]

Are you sure? For dramaturgical reasons, it sounds less stupid to have been killed by a mob than to have fallen from a tower;-)

[@MythologicalStories-q1z]

Is controversial content killing views on *Monsters & Mysteries Unveiled*, or is it just bad advertising?"

[@robbierob2100]

Ai story? If so wow

[@MonstersMysteriesUnveiled]

It's a “real” story from Irish folklore. Thanks for watching!
