STRZYGA (in English called STRIX or STRIGA) is a kind of vampire in Slavic (and especially Polish) folklore. While still alive, the Strzyga has two hearts and two souls, as well as two sets of teeth (one of which grows in normally). When such a person dies, only one soul gets passed on, and the other soul causes the deceased Strzyga to come alive and prey upon other living beings. Decapitating the corpse and burying the head separate from the rest of the body is said to prevent strzyga from rising back from the dead; burying the body face down with a sickle around its head is said to work as well. The other version says that Strix/Striga was an Ancient Roman legendary creature, usually described as a nocturnal bird of ill omen that fed on human flesh and blood, like a vampire. Unlike later vampires, it was not a revenant - a risen corpse - but the product of metamorphosis. The name is Greek in origin and means "owl", with which bird it is usually identified (the name of the genus Strix follows this meaning).
