Dark Friday: Gloglave



According to some legends, a vampire may engage in sex with his former wife, which often led to pregnancy. In fact, this belief may have provided a convenient explanation as to why a widow, who was supposed to be celibate, became pregnant. The resulting child was called a gloglave (pl. glog) in Bulgarian or vampirdzii in Turkish. Rather than being ostracized, the child was considered a hero who had powers to slay a vampire.

  2. LOL...if you're going to need an excuse for not being celibate, I guess that's as good and any. Not sure I'd want to be known as a gloglave though, slayer is better. ;)
