On occasions, the dead and the righteous will be brought back to life. (That is to say that these dead will take on the form of righteous souls which had lived on earth, in order to lead men further astray; these so-called resurrected dead, who will be nothing but the devil in this form, will preach another Gospel contrary to that of the true Christ Jesus, denying the existence of Heaven; that is also to say, the souls of the damned. All these souls will appear as if fixed to their bodies). Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
CHAPTER VIII.
DEAD PERSONS IN HUNGARY WHO SUCK THE BLOOD OF THE LIVING.
About fifteen years ago, a soldier who was billeted at the house
of a Haidamagne peasant, on the frontiers of Hungary, as he was
one day sitting at table near his host, the master of the house saw
a person he did not know come in and sit down to table also with
them. The master of the house was strangely frightened at this,
as were the rest of the company. The soldier knew not what to
think of it, being ignorant of the matter in question. But the
master of the house being dead the very next day, the soldier inquired what it meant. They told him that it was the body of the
father of his host, who bad been dead and buried for ten years,
which had thus come to sit down next to him, and had announced
and caused his death.
The soldier informed the regiment of it in the first place, and the
regiment gave notice of it to the general officers, who commissioned
the Count de Cabreras, captain of the regiment of Alandetti infantry,
to make information concerning this circumstance. Having gone
to the place, with some other officers, a surgeon and an auditor, they heard the depositions of all the people belonging to the house, who
attested unanimously that the ghost was the father of the master of
the house, and that all the soldier had said and reported was the
exact truth; which was confirmed by all the inhabitants of the village.
In consequence of this, the corpse of this spectre was exhumed,
and found to be like that of a man who has just expired, and his
blood like that of a living man. The Count de Cabreras had his
head cut off, and caused him to be laid again in his tomb. He also
took information concerning other similar ghosts, amongst others, of
a man dead more than thirty years, who had come back three times
to his house at meal time. The first time he had sucked the blood
from the neck of his own brother, the second time from one of
his sons, and the third from one of the servants in the house; and
all three died of it instantly and on the spot. Upon this deposition
the commissary had this man taken out of his grave, and finding
that like the first, his blood was in a fluid state, like that of a living
person, he ordered them to run a large nail into his temple, and
then to lay him again in the grave.
He caused a third to be burnt, who had been buried more than
sixteen years, and had sucked the blood and caused the death of two
of his sons. The commissary having made his report to the general
officers, was deputed to the court of the emperor, who commanded
that some officers, both of war and justice, some physicians and surgeons, and some learned men, should be sent to examine the causes
of these extraordinary events. The person who related these particulars to us had heard them from Monsieur the Count de Cabreras, at Fribourg en Brigau, in 1730.
