there's more:

"The word vampire (or vampye) arrived in the English language 
with two 1732  publications: the March translation of a report by 
the investigators looking into the case of Arnold Paole of 
Meduegna and the May release of the article "Political Vampires."

also, this place name doesn't seem to exist outside of this vampire
story, but it's meant to be near belgrade apparently....

more will follow...
