Jag tror att det var i en antologibok av förmodligen sanna skrämmande historier, men det gällde syskon som arvde ett hus bredvid en gammal kyrka. Någon slags ghoul visade sig utanför systerns fönster några få nätter tills bröderna väntade på det och sköt det. De kontaktade den lokala lagmannen och de spårade den här saken tillbaka till en krypt under kyrkan där den var i en kista med nya kulsår. Vet någon vilken bok det här är från?
Berättelsen du letar efter heter Vampyr av Croglin Grange .
In the particularly dark tale written by Augustine Hare, several episodes took place between 1875 and 1876. An old house had been rented out to a woman and two brothers, Amelia, Edward and Michael Cranswell. During one summer, Amelia was trying to sleep when a strange creature appeared at her window and began picking out the lead surrounding one of the window panes with a long fingernail, then removing it and putting its hand through the resulting gap to undo the window latch and let itself in. It was described as having a brown face and flaming eyes. The vampire bit her in the throat. When her brothers came into the room, the monster was gone. While one brother tried to help his sister, the other went after the creature.
After a trip to Switzerland, the three returned to Croglin Grange and the creature returned again. The brother shot it in the leg and was able to track it down to a vault in the local cemetery. They waited until the next day to enter the vault, where they found the body of the vampire resting inside a coffin and then burned it
