Would you dare to venture to the Wild East? I collaborated with The Paranormal Scholar on their new video which takes you on a journey from the 18th-century vampire hysteria in the Wild East to the last known vampire hunter in the early 2000s: th-cam.com/video/1lSvtir0rwY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Crowhag, ive just subscribed to your channel! Its interesting but perhaps a little co incidental rather than suspicious that my mother was born on 23rd of April 1923 St Georges Day & my Dad was born on 31st October 1923! On All Hallows Eve or Halloween! I was born on 3rd April 1953 on a Good Friday ( in Christian belief of the rising of Jesus in the Easter tradition) All i know is ive been very fortunate in my long life so far Ive never had any unfortunate things happen, had 2 wonderful daughters & have 2 lovely grandsons & apart from some arthritic twinges ive had excellent health! No mental health problems or financially worries So i can say ive never been negatively affected by any influences Im a pagan by belief but im interested in so many religions & find truth in most of them. Thanks again Peace 🇬🇧👧
@@itallia666 Thank you for subscribing and for your comments on my channel! You seem to be someone with a lovely mind and soul and I am delighted to have you here. There is so much meaning around our birthdays and other inconspicuous events in our lives and discovering it can make our world much more magical. Lucky those who can find it! And to add one more layer of magic to your birthday, Friday is personified in Romanian folklore as a holy hag who brings good fortune to everyone born on that day, shelters animals, and helps heroes on their journey. I will have a video on her soon as well. ❤️
A Paranormal Scholar video led me here. This is exactly what I've wanted to see for years. I love the candle and the incense and all of the old-fashioned imagery. Spooky and relaxing. I love it. Subscribed. Please don't stop!
Thank you so much for noticing and appreciating the little things that make this video what it is. It gladdens my heart to welcome you to my audience! 🖤
Thank you very much for sharing the Lore from "The Land Beyond the Forest". I look forward to more of your well done presentations. May Good Luck be upon you.
Amazing folklore! Just one input, since Christianity was introduced to Romania since 3 rd century, the church was for sure supporting in the Strigoi hunting
I came here after watching a mini documentary about the case of Petre Toma which led me to the discovery of moroi. This was very informative and I really appreciated your description. Nice video.
This is the best presentation on strigoi. How you made distinctions between living and dead ones, explained the etymology and distribution - excellent work!
Definitely impressed its an absolutely wonderful video. I can't say thanks enough. You definitely didn't disappoint. Lots of information in your video. Thank you very much
I know there's life after death, I've seen that play out with my own eyes. However, what truly determines a favorable afterlife (a free or peaceful spirit) or a...less than favorable one, is a harder question to know the answer to. We have our different faiths and their assurances but it's by no means an easily answered question. The more of the mystery that gets revealed to me, the more it seems that remains unexplained. I've paid dearly for the answers Ive received. I almost wish I had never sought to know these things. I would be happier, I think.
I love this channel! I would love to see a video about zmeu vs. balaur! I believe zmeu are thought to maybe be a type of strigoi. I love Romanian folklore and your channel is one of the only ones that actually focuses on Romania!
Thank you so much! Yes, that is certainly one of the major topics I plan to talk about this year so there will be a video. For now, I will say that the zmeu is not so much a type of strigoi as it is a personification of the mythical snake archetype, which is very intriguing to ponder.
Kudos to you, friend. The Romanians are one of the oldest nations in Europe and the only nation who has 100% score of God believers. You won't find one real atheist there, not even in the communist era, everyone respects the supernatural and God in a way or another.
@@Aramis_Production I imagine it must be an incredible culture to experience first hand unfortunately I wouldn't know haven't found an opportunity to travel across the Atlantic back to the old world yet, not sure if I ever will but the prospect lives rent free in my head quite often.. what you've described sounds very nice though, thank you for your reply fastcougar3200
@@Aramis_Production We aren't at all the oldest nation in Europe, our beautiful Romania was founded in 1859 and our medieval states in the 14th century and the earliest one's in the 10th century. Don't try to spread this dacopathic ideology when even the video proves our latinity!
Thank you for enlightening me on this subject. My family comes from Transylvania and being educated on this subject has been a true pleasure. It actually answers many questions for me and makes some sense of things that have been an enigma for me for some time. ❤
Thank you for the lovely comment! I am glad this video helped you better understand your roots and I hope you find the others on my channel equally insightful.
To be honest, Death never scared me. Witch was very confusing to me, everyone treaded it like it was the worst thing in existence Tomorrow or the day after I'd love the watch your video about The Night of the Wolf🐺
Some of the knowledge of this channel's content reminds me of Vedic teachings, some of Tibetan Buddhism teachings... Strigoi reminds me of Tibetan Zombies/Rolang...I remember reading an article explaining how some Tibetan villages had entrance doors lower than the villagers' stature to prevent the Zombies from entering their houses at night and attacking, eating and killing them.
@@Marion10610 Indeed, especially the Vedic similarities make sense considering the Indo-European dispersal. The insight you shared on the Tibetan Ro-langs is fascinating! Thank you so much! 🙏
@@Crowhag Happy to hear that! You're welcome! Their explanation for lowering the entrance door as a protection was that Zombies cannot bend their bodies.
Ah yes Nosferatu, the myths and distortions of the tale is best taken to the source - this is from the European source as far as many of know. These videos are very insightful. Dobra. There are those of us who follow an older path, one before the Hebrew God. BB
@@MrBrannul Yes! The two traditions are connected (as is the Hungarian one of the táltos) and originate from agrarian cults. I highly recommend Carlo Ginzburg's "The Night Battles" where he explores this in depth.
Have you watched Arith Harger's video "the shamanic vampire"? Its explain of the shamanic/necromansic of the revenants, chaneler and their subtle bodies (he say that necromacy are nordic shamanism, for the modern era, use the word "shamanism" on many aministic practices world-wide) origin
Would Nikola Tesla born an ethnic Serbian during the Austro-Hungarian empire who's birthplace is now in Croatia, be considered a Strigoi? As a lightning storm was going on during his birth and struck the house as he was born. The midwife said "this child will be a child of darkness". His mother (a mechanical engineer) disagreed and said he'd be a child of light....
I have always thought Tesla fits more in the Scholomancer category and not the Strigoi. I have a video about that on my channel. The Scholomancer's innate powers are rather meteorological and they tend to put them in the service of good.
According to the lore, unholy departure has to do with the corruption of the soul and spiritual transgression. For example, passing away after being visited by a strigoi in dreams, after trespassing the territory of a pagan deity, or suspiciously passing away on sacred times in the folk calendar (such as the Winter Solstice festival or between Christmas and the Day of St. John).
@@Crowhag oooh damn. Lol I honestly had no idea. Keep the stories coming. I live in the US, so hearing about different cultures and beliefs is very interesting. Much love 💚

1:40 The word Strigoi comes from Latin Strix or Striga. This word still exist today in Italian, Witch is Strega.
Indeed so! Thank you.
The same word is also in Romanian "Strigă/ striga" which means shout/ scream
@@lmmortal.ro. That's what he is saying, strigoi is inherited in Romanian from Ancient Rome
I love listening to you! Very good information.
What is that music in the back ground? Its so calming. I would like to know if possible
Thank you very much! The background music is my own, an ambiental experiment I did with barely audible chanting. Glad you like it!
With so many stories about the strigoi,it is impossible that everything is fake.
Magnificent….
Glorious…
