CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE — DECEMBER 28, 1874
A Vampire.
Prince Nicholas Borolajovsk, a Servian noble, died the other day in the Rue d'Amsterdam, in Paris. He had been obliged to leave his own country, where he could no longer remain, from the idea among the country people that he belonged to a family of vampires, the eldest sons of which for three generations came out of their graves to suck the blood of living people. It is said that five days before his death he was conversing with his landlord and told him it would be well, after his decease, to remove his heart so as to prevent his rising from the grave.
