The lampir is a **vampire** from the rural traditions of Bosnia. The lampir is very active during typhus epidemics. When a person dies from typhus and becomes a lampir, it returns at night to its spouse's bed to suck their blood and engage in sexual relations with them. It is possible for a living woman to become pregnant if she were to have relations with a lampir.
