    Firstly, that’s hella interesting.

    Secondly, I did not realize that the Roma were (are? Some are/were?) Muslim. I associated the Roma with Catholicism and Hinduism.

    Thirdly, how the fuck does one use a pumpkin as a syphon?

    Curious what exactly they get up to…

    These pumpkins and melons go round the houses, stables, and rooms at night, all by themselves, and do harm to people. But it is thought that they cannot do great damage to folk, so people are not very afraid of this kind of vampire.
