Mary Mack> "The oldest known legend about vampires comes from ancient Greece, where they were known as Vrykolakes-- uncorrupted human corpses inhabited by the spirit of a demon."
Just for the record, nowadays, the greek word Vrykolakas is the standard translation for "vampire" - however the concept conveyed by the word is nowadays the more common vampire we're all accustomed of hearing/reading about - not the variation you cite.
Hmmm. Interesting.
