This story is a very curious myth about a man who became a vampire after having had encounters with one of thos undead beings.
It tells the tale of a 18th century man named Arnold Paole that returned to his hometown near Belgrade after having a troubled incident with an undead being while stationed during his military service. In this point I Angie McKain's version states that it was in Greece, while on Wikipedia they mention a place name Gossowa which they suppose is Kosovo.
After having sustained severe injuries from a fall while working he eventually died.
The problems began with reports from locals about having seen Arnold Paole alive after he had been buried a month before. And those locals turned up dead for unknown reasons some time later.
So, a group of experts decided to digg him up. What they found then were clear marks of what they believed was a vampire - no skin decomposition, fresh skin and nail growth, fresh blood on the , etc.
Upon such evidence they took the necessary measures to "kill the beast" - with the traditional stake and garlic. Wikipedia states also that they did the same to all the villagers that had died after having seen Paole.
The solution worked for some years, but then it started hapenning again - the misterious deaths and reports of dead people walking the village.
The experts got to the graveyard again to investigate the case and they found more than 10 corpses with the same vampiric signs as Arnold Paole had when he was dug up. This time they wrote a report an signed it. The report is still amongst various history books and you can find an English version here: http://www.dagonbytes.com/vampires/history/arnoldpaul.htm.
Nowadays, the story is refuted taking the lack of medical knowledge at the time as the basis among other inconsistencies on the report.

You can find a complete version of the story on Vampyre Vineyards written by Angie McKaig.
Wikipedia has also an article on that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Paole. It is much more accurate and descriptive than the one from Angie McKain and the facts differ in many aspects. Many copies of this version are duplicated in several websites so I chose this one as the "proper one" due to the Wikipedia's reputation.

what is the difference between being a vampire or just being a ghost...?
Vampires are real. Humans are not that creative. You can't go up to a blind man, who has been blind his whole life, and ask what a tree looks like and him tell you exactly. You can't make up something that has absolutly no truth behind it. They are real, open your eyes.
