Dhampir

In Balkans folklore , a dhampir (sometimes spelled dhampyre, dhamphir, or dhampyr) is a creature that is the result of a union between a vampire and a human . This union was usually between male vampires and female humans, with stories of female vampires mating with male humans being rare.[1]

The word dhampir derives from the words dham, albanian Gheg variant of dhëmb (“tooth”) + pir, participle of pi (“to drink”), literally meaning 'that who drinks through his/her teeth'. It is also thought that word for vampire descends from Slavic "упирь" or "ǫpyrь ".[2] [3] [4]

Origin
In the Balkans it was believed that male vampires have a great desire for women, so a vampire will return to have intercourse with his wife or with a woman he was attracted to in life.[5] Indeed, in one recorded case, a Serbian widow tried to blame her pregnancy on her late husband, who had supposedly become a vampire,[6] and there were cases of Serbian men pretending to be vampires in order to reach the women they desired.[8] In Bulgarian folklore, vampires were sometimes said to deflower virgins as well.[5] The sexual activity of the vampire seems to be a peculiarity of South Slavic vampire belief as opposed to other Slavs,[5] although a similar motif also occurs in Belarusian legends.[9]

EKIMMU
The Ekimmu (Edimmu) is one of the oldest vampires and myths, dating back to 4000 B.C.E. originating out of modern day Iraq and Syria.
The vampire creature is one of the most feared among the Assyrians and Babylonians. It is said that the Ekimmu was a departed spirit, or soul, of a dead person who is unable to find peace. The creature wandered the Earth waiting to attack.
The Ekimmu drank the blood of those who passed by and suck them dry of any life force. The Ekimmu was the first blood-sucking vampire and the first psychic vampire. The Ekimmu vampire was a violent and angry vampire that focused much of its anger on those who didn’t follow proper burial rites.

Utukku
The Utukku (also known as Uruku) is a Babylonian vampire spirit.

This spirit can be good or bad, but according to the Akkadian myths, the utukki were 7 evil demons who were the offspring of Anu, a Mesopotamian god and Antu, an Akkadian goddess. It’s said that the Utukku would torment their victims by possession.

Some believed that the Utukku vampire spirit is the spirit of a person who has recently died and returned from the grave for unknown reasons.
