anyway yall missed something, word Vampire is word of Serbian origin and first “Vampire” case that ever occurred was also in Serbia and it was about some dude named Petar Blagojevic that supposedly got out of his grave every night and sucked peoples blood, and people also said that when they dug up his grave his hearth was still beating and when they stabbed him he made some superhuman screaming noise, although i don’t believe this happened i wanted to show people this interesting story

Chris Ramsey In fact, the first mermaids were female-like bird who would kidnap men and drown them before eating them...so no, not all mermaids are fish :)
I really glad I saw this video when I just entered my vampire obsession stage like a decade ago. I could have been one if the inseparable "it's not a real vampire" but it's a blanket turn to a reach cultural faumenal
Currently reading Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and the lore in the book is fascinating. There’s even some vampire lore in that book that we don’t remember, such as a wild rose stalk preventing the vampire from leaving its coffin, they can only transform at noon dawn or dusk, can ride moon beams, and they can actually transform into any for they wish (bat is obvious, but also wolf, and mist)
Imagine a creature that is, by design, the perfect predator of human beings. Intelligent, cunning, and able to use a human appearance as a form of camouflage to move about undetected. Now imagine that creature is strong as a lion and has to consume it's body weight in blood every night. I think movies and television haven't made vampire anywhere near as frightening as they could be.
I remember in New Moon [gag] they told the story of how the wolves started when the "cold woman" came to destroy their people. in the movies, as horrible as they were, the actress who played the "cold woman" did a very good job of portraying exactly what you just described in just the few minutes of screen time she had, a vicious animal with human intelligence. just squint so you can't see the glitter 😅
I was going to say Wolfen until you said "human". I recommend reading the book or watching the movie though, because that's kind of what it's about: Man's natural predator living in hiding all around him, unseen.
+Kris Silveira That's because Vlad the Impaler was romanian,but the western people have the wrong idea that all the east european conturies have russian accent,wich obviously is wrong.In fact romanian is mostly latin being very close to italian.
I am a Filipino, including one of our mythical creatures (manananggal) here in the Philippines is such an honor to educate people internationally that our country is rich in culture. Thank you po.
Fun fact : Vlad the Impaler the inspiration for Dracula , lived in Transilvania just for a short period of time and the stories about a cruel prince that many people know are just invented by his Hungarian political enemies at the time and he is even a national hero in Romania the country formed after the unification of Walahia (the country that he ruled) and Moldova
Vlad the impaler wasn’t the inspiration for Dracula. Stoker’s main inspiration was Irish mythology. He simply heard the name Dracula and decided he liked it
Interesting fact: Vlad Nabijač, Dracula's Museum, lived in Transylvania for only a short time, and the stories of the tyrant prince, known to many at the time for his Hungarian political enemies, are also a civic hero. After the unification of the state (the country he ruled) and Moldova, a state was formed in Romania. Google translate
He was actually born in Transylvania, in the city of Sighișoara. I visited the town twice as of now abd ket ne tell you, there were many vlad-themed souvenirs and a museum in the building called Vlad Dracul House, where Vlad was supposed to have gotten out of his mother's oven.
As i romanian i know the back story of Vlad the impairer and he has on of the saddest life ever and its full of trauma from a young age hes a bit like Eren Yeager but with more trauma and lost loved ones Oh and yeah a lot of genocide Genocide of the ottoman armys
and it also said that Vampires survive by the life force of others here not just specificaly blood but Blood is much common known for what Vampires want
Vampir (vampire) is most famous serbian word. First ever recorded vampires were Arnaut Pavle and Petar Blagojevic, first half of XVIII century in modern-day Serbia.
6 ปีที่แล้ว +12
It's a shame that they talk about Eastern Europe, and they included Albanian "vampire" but, they couldn't even mention Serbian vampire. As +Jovan Vidojevic said, there is rich "folklore" about vampires in Serbia. Shame on you TED-Ed
those Manananggal from Philippine and Penanggalan ( well known as Penanggal) from Malaysia like really creep me out since i was child and until now. Asian's 'vampire' are not something to mess 😖
Vampires aren't even creepy enough to describe them. They're literally monsters because based from stories, they eat people instead of drinking only the blood. *shivers*
@GODZILLA EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!! that was tik tik Mananggal are killing men by taking their hearts, eating entrails and drinking their blood. To kill them is you to find the half of their body put a lot of salt or holy water and for the mananggal to be one
I asked my Dad this once about another vampire, he replied with something along the lines of "Well, if he blocked up his windows, or had them removed and replaced with just more walls, the local villagers would realise that the guy was a vampire because most humans wouldn't mind a bit of sunlight but vampires do. Then, they'd come in, outnumber him and kill him." My Dad's a pretty smart guy.
Acording to one Eastern European interpretation, vampires and werewolves were one and the same. When a corpse is disrespected or not given a proper burial, it reanimates as a werewolf(a demon), only having a humanoid vampire form if the person was a sinner, therefore gaining the devil's favor, but also the fear of anything holy or pure. I'm pretty sure that these were just motivations to bury everyone upon death.
I remember my grandma would tell me stories about the mananaggal when I was a kid. She said if I will not finish my food, the manananggal will come and eat me. Until now I make sure I leave nothing on my plate after eating. LOL!
Draco the Dragon your name though because lol the name Draco means Dragon 😅😂😂is it just a coincidence or you just did it and i keep thinking of DRACO MALFOY WHYYY
So much hate against sparkly vampires, yet common consensus says that DIO and Kars pull off the look well. Then again, I doubt that even a quarter of the people here even know who they are.
Where are you getting that information? Female mosquitos have to get the protein and iron to make their eggs from blood. Male mosquitos do not need these and thusly do not drink blood. Is that what you mean?
Dolphins Rule I know, I realized that a second after I said that. But on the other hand, he can count himself in the same category as mosquitoes, who everyone hates.
Once again we have to thank the one and only Bela Lugosi who not only shaped Dracula, but gave inspiration for all the vampires who came after. Because of his Hungarian accent, the vocal style has been associated with Dracula ever since as seen in this video
One last thought... So it's night time in 1599 or whenever they're digging some body up because the local witch doctor thinks a vampire attacked. They finally reach the body and the witch doctor points out the proof at which point the guy who dug the whole looks at the witch doctor and asks. "If he's here now, and he got out earlier. How did he re- bury himself? .... awkward glancing silence begin now.
Just one correction, and I know it will sound a little pompous (sorry): the legend of vampires derives from Serbian folklore, not "Eastern European". The story progressed after Dracula (thanks to our dear neighbors Romanians). And, FUN FACT - Vampire (VAMPIR) is actually the only Serbian word that is used worldwide :) By the way, your videos are great and I am having your-channel-marathon right now, 3 hours and counting. Keep up the great work!!!
I agree with you because I'm a Romanian and I know we don't have myths of vampires. We have "strigoi", which don't suck blood(Romanians don't suck). Also, Vlad III Țepeș (the Impaller) and his father Vlad II Dracul (the Devil) were WALLACHIAN, not Transilvanian.
+Razvan Duca Yeah, they didn't suck blood, that's just Hollywood ☺. And, about their origin, most of us from this part of the world know a lot about these things, but what to do, no one asks us 😢. One recommendation: come to Romania for the Dracula tour and neighbouring Serbia to visit the house of the first vampir ever. We are also great for night life (read Belgrade), you blood-sucking-no-daylight-myths lovers. 😃
Drago mi je sto si napisao ovaj komentar.Htela sam da odgledam ovaj klip da proverim da li ce da pomenuo da je rec vampir srpskog porekla,umesto toga su samo rekli da legenda o vampiru potice iz Istocne Evrope.Anyways,pozdrav i bravo za komentar 😊👍🏽
Omg omg omg, my culture is in this. Most people haven’t even heard of the yara ma yha who. Thank you! It’s a Dreamtime story, the fact that this is in here, fills my heart
your onto somenthing . i think the moon was inspire by the mulai , vampires with long hair( her hair reaches her hips ) , one phisical odity ( her ear in the middle of her forehead ) and use light clothing . there praticualy vengefull to People who killed theme and love to harrase people . while the fool may have been inspire by the german alpe , that is more of annoyence than a treat , can fly and has a dunce hat ( or veil ) that gives him a comical image .
2:33 As an Albanian I wasn’t expecting that. The word Lugat completely terrorized our childhoods, but I thought it was a monster not a vampire. This video has taught me something about my peoples folklore I didn’t know about. Crazy.
I'm not completely sure but as a guess your native demon probably isn't presented as a "vampire" in your stories. I think these variety of bloodsucking creatures in myths around the world, initially unrelated to each other, were later lumped into the category of "vampire" in the modern era. It's kind of like the Chinese "dragon" has nothing in common with the medieval European dragon but these two were lumped into a common category because both were large snake-like creatures.
@@tapan97I know I’m replying over a year late but I think you’re wrong here because since this video came out I’ve asked around and it seems I was one of few who didn’t know the Lugat was a vampire like creature. Whenever we’re up late at night and see another family member awake the first thing we’ll say is “Çka je qu Lugat?”- “Why have you woken up like a Lugat?” Basically a vampire at night
@@bletrick3352 quite interesting, thanks for collecting new information. But I don't think it proves my conjecture necessarily wrong. It is still possible that the localised folklore in your region developed independently, and only later in the modern age it was discovered that other cultures also had similar myths. At that point it might have been included into the broad concept of the vampire. In any case this is all guesswork, so I very much might be wrong. Your information about the Lugat is interesting in providing a look at how localised myths can develop.
+Miguel Aveiro Yeah but walking out into blurring sunlight after traveling is a pain in the rear. Even Serena has complained about it. And you can't trust other vampires. They'll turn on you, unlike your shield brother/sister.
Yeah, both of these things are annoying, especially the sunlight. When I progress far enough to get the bow that makes the world go dark, I'll get around that problem, but I like to see sunlight. I don't wanna be in the dark all the time.
I really, really, REALLY hope vampires AND werewolves get out of the "romance fodder for tweens - 40 year old women" stage and develop into something greater. Maybe in the future, they could be used as a euphemism for fear of how scientific development could get out of control? We're heading for age anyway. Or they could just return to the awesome Van Helsing-style world of action which I personally am dying for!
Hi I know this is really old but, did you actually write about this concept or were you just complaining?? If you did write any I'd love to read it bc it sounds so cool

lizzie timms Actually it was Dracula, by Bram Stoker.
+Julia Binarystar i like it though, as do many. it's like playing with fire, it's beauty is through it's dangers.
Vampires are some of the best lads.
One last thought... So it's night time in 1599 or whenever they're digging some body up because the local witch doctor thinks a vampire attacked. They finally reach the body and the witch doctor points out the proof at which point the guy who dug the whole looks at the witch doctor and asks. "If he's here now, and he got out earlier. How did he re- bury himself? .... awkward glancing silence begin now.
VendettaProduction01 they were buddies with the graveyard keeper.
Just one correction, and I know it will sound a little pompous (sorry): the legend of vampires derives from Serbian folklore, not "Eastern European". The story progressed after Dracula (thanks to our dear neighbors Romanians). And, FUN FACT - Vampire (VAMPIR) is actually the only Serbian word that is used worldwide :)
By the way, your videos are great and I am having your-channel-marathon right now, 3 hours and counting. Keep up the great work!!!
I agree with you because I'm a Romanian and I know we don't have myths of vampires. We have "strigoi", which don't suck blood(Romanians don't suck). Also, Vlad III Țepeș (the Impaller) and his father Vlad II Dracul (the Devil) were WALLACHIAN, not Transilvanian.
+Razvan Duca Yeah, they didn't suck blood, that's just Hollywood ☺. And, about their origin, most of us from this part of the world know a lot about these things, but what to do, no one asks us 😢. One recommendation: come to Romania for the Dracula tour and neighbouring Serbia to visit the house of the first vampir ever. We are also great for night life (read Belgrade), you blood-sucking-no-daylight-myths lovers. 😃
Drago mi je sto si napisao ovaj komentar.Htela sam da odgledam ovaj klip da proverim da li ce da pomenuo da je rec vampir srpskog porekla,umesto toga su samo rekli da legenda o vampiru potice iz Istocne Evrope.Anyways,pozdrav i bravo za komentar 😊👍🏽
+RajkoRale More like Slavic. It is a SLAVIC word used in all South Slavic languages.
+RajkoRale Serbia is in Eastern Europe. Also, the word you're looking for is 'pedantic', not "pompous".
Im literally falling in love with ted ed more and more 😭💕✨
Is it here yet?
Ah, so youre the one who made me lose in plague inc.?
Totally get that😂😂
HHAHAHA LOL
Omg omg omg, my culture is in this. Most people haven’t even heard of the yara ma yha who. Thank you! It’s a Dreamtime story, the fact that this is in here, fills my heart
Adventure time stakes.... that's why the vampire king has the head of a lion and bird feet. He was inspired by the Lamashtu and Striges!
Oh snap!!!
your onto somenthing . i think the moon was inspire by the mulai , vampires with long hair( her hair reaches her hips ) , one phisical odity ( her ear in the middle of her forehead ) and use light clothing . there praticualy vengefull to People who killed theme and love to harrase people . while the fool may have been inspire by the german alpe , that is more of annoyence than a treat , can fly and has a dunce hat ( or veil ) that gives him a comical image .
Alexandra Pinhao What country believed in the Mulai?
+Shannen Canton i think romenia ( weird because the moon has a very arabic / asian design go figure )
+Alexandra Pinhao she looks like me kinda haha
keepin' it trill & passing the torch
2:33 As an Albanian I wasn’t expecting that. The word Lugat completely terrorized our childhoods, but I thought it was a monster not a vampire. This video has taught me something about my peoples folklore I didn’t know about. Crazy.
I'm not completely sure but as a guess your native demon probably isn't presented as a "vampire" in your stories. I think these variety of bloodsucking creatures in myths around the world, initially unrelated to each other, were later lumped into the category of "vampire" in the modern era. It's kind of like the Chinese "dragon" has nothing in common with the medieval European dragon but these two were lumped into a common category because both were large snake-like creatures.
@@tapan97I know I’m replying over a year late but I think you’re wrong here because since this video came out I’ve asked around and it seems I was one of few who didn’t know the Lugat was a vampire like creature. Whenever we’re up late at night and see another family member awake the first thing we’ll say is “Çka je qu Lugat?”- “Why have you woken up like a Lugat?” Basically a vampire at night
@@bletrick3352 quite interesting, thanks for collecting new information.
But I don't think it proves my conjecture necessarily wrong. It is still possible that the localised folklore in your region developed independently, and only later in the modern age it was discovered that other cultures also had similar myths. At that point it might have been included into the broad concept of the vampire.
In any case this is all guesswork, so I very much might be wrong. Your information about the Lugat is interesting in providing a look at how localised myths can develop.
This one I enjoyed a lot. Kudos to the narrator!
“Are you afraid of vampires?”
Me: wat 👁👄👁
So what's the limit of the 1st period, 2nd & 3rd?
Vampires are cool, but the werewolves have the companions guild.
+BILLYBOB JOE But Vampires have the Volkihar Clan, who have their own castle and want to bring perpetual darkness to the world.
+Miguel Aveiro plus they're immortal
Aye, that they are.
+Miguel Aveiro Yeah but walking out into blurring sunlight after traveling is a pain in the rear. Even Serena has complained about it. And you can't trust other vampires. They'll turn on you, unlike your shield brother/sister.
Yeah, both of these things are annoying, especially the sunlight. When I progress far enough to get the bow that makes the world go dark, I'll get around that problem, but I like to see sunlight. I don't wanna be in the dark all the time.
here the bloodbanks are draining and you are enjoying our blood)))
I'm enjoying your beautiful thumbnail
r u secretly mia khalifa?

Sparkling vampires *cough, cough*

[ dropped a pick for this in work Holmes ]
What a wonderful video! Loved the talking about all the different cultures with Vampire folklore too!
"I REJECT MY HUMANITY, JOJO!"
-Dio Brando, a time-stopping vampire
what an absolutely fantastic video!
A music set is perfect for communication: This mess around drew in cars
Awww. Glad to see the Philippine Manananggal featured here. :') The thought of them still scares me today. Haha.
Epic video and I love the narration, great job Ted-Ed! 😊
I really, really, REALLY hope vampires AND werewolves get out of the "romance fodder for tweens - 40 year old women" stage and develop into something greater. Maybe in the future, they could be used as a euphemism for fear of how scientific development could get out of control? We're heading for age anyway. Or they could just return to the awesome Van Helsing-style world of action which I personally am dying for!
Hi I know this is really old but, did you actually write about this concept or were you just complaining?? If you did write any I'd love to read it bc it sounds so cool
This my universe again now I need more.
