“There is also this other side that is hidden that you cannot find easily in the guide books that you buy at our souvenir stores. There is more to tell and that is what I like to focus on; the dark history and the folklore, meaning stories from the folklore about supernatural entities, about some strange things happening and legends as well, of course.”

25. SOUNDBITE (English) Marija Milovac, Haunted Dubrovnik tours guide:
"In the 18th century, the peasants would gather during the night, they would visit graveyards and open graves of suspected corpses and they would impale them with blackthorn or blackthorn stakes. They would cut below the knee because it was believed that when they cut the veins that they couldn’t be raised from the dead. The vampires in the folklore here are not beautiful and elegant like the vampires from the movies, but are more ugly to the sight. Here it’s believed that the vampires are bloated skin, bloated by the devil himself."

27. SOUNDBITE (English) Marija Milovac, Haunted Dubrovnik tours guide:
“So, these stories are very important even thought maybe they do not speak sometimes about some real events, I believe that they tell about our ancestors and about their life, their state of mind, how they spent their evenings around a cosy fire. They would gather after long, hardworking days and they would share stories and sometimes the stories were the same that I am trying to tell to my guests.”
