[QUOTE="Kytka, post: 7793691, member: 7015613"] Upír is a Czech word. It translates to "undead" but is commonly recognized in our language as a vampire. Lichy means "odd" or "strange", so the translation would be strange or odd undead. Russian language does not have the "i" with the line on it, that is from the Czech language. For Czechs and Slovaks, a vampire is a legendary creature feeding on the life force (usually the blood) of the living. In European folklore, these are more popularly known as the undead , who often visit their relatives and loved ones and cause trouble or death in places that they lived in during their lifetime. There is a reference by Josef Jungmann speaking of the "other town of lychi for others" from February 13, 1571. In old script style, some references I found look like they may also be referring to the Moravian town of Lukov and the castle there.
