I was wondering if anyone new if there was any type of Native American vampirer???
Not that they have to live off of blood but sprit, bone would be okay to.
I remember reading a story a long time ago as a child about this little boy who was riding his bike along one day and passed by a construction site that seemingly uncovered an Indian burial ground. The boy found this odd mummy with the body of a person, but the head was rather birdlike. He kept it in the basement, and one night, he hears his dog crying from the basement and goes down to investigate. The thing attacks him, and the story ends with the child falling down the stairs, and catching a glimpse of the thing scuttling towards him in the light of the falling flashlight.
Unfortunately, that’s really the only one I know of.
The Wendigo myth could fit the bill, no?
