If a cat leaps over the corpse before burial, it will become a vampire

It is an animated corpse which appears as a bull-skin full of blood with a pair of eyes on one side that gleam like live coals.

It throttles people (more contamination), suchs the blook of men and beasts, and damages household utensils and ploughs (poltergeist contamination). When feeding on the blood of livestock, it rides on their shoulders. They die from his attack. It wanders from two hours before midnight until the first morning cock's crow, when it returns to its grave.
