'Put garlic in your windows and crosses in your homes': Serbian council warns residents vampire is on the loose
Fear factor: Panic has spread through a Serbian village amid rumours that notorious vampire Sava Savanovic (pictured) is on the loose

The official announcement came after an old ruined mill rumoured to have once been the home of Serbia's most famous vampire collapsed. Sava Savanovic (right) was believed to have lived in the mill (left) on the Rogacica river in the municipality of Bajina Basta. It is said he drank the blood of anybody that came to mill their grain. Mayor Miodrag Vujetic admitted: 'People are worried. Everybody knows the legend of this vampire and the thought that he is now homeless and looking for somewhere else and possibly other victims is terrifying people.'
