Afinas'ev "The Peasant and the Corpse"

A story of a peasant that came upon a vampire. The peasant had been riding his carriage and rested on a grave and the grave and coffin began to open. The corpse was holding the coffin lid and was wearing a white shroud. The corpse ran to the church and put the coffin lid in the doorway of the church and then went to the village. The peasant took the lid and kept it from the peasant until the peasant told hi what he had done in the village. The corpse told him that he had killed two boys. The peasant demanded to know how to bring them back to life and the corpse told him. When the corpse was getting back into his coffin the cock crowed and the corpse did not have time to cover it completely. The peasant the next day went to the village and brought the kids back to life, but the villagers tied him up for the person that killed them in the first place. He invoked the name of God and asked if they believe. He then told all and they went to the corpse and drove an aspen spike through his heart so he could no longer rise up and kill others. the villagers gave him half their possessions and was rich.
