By being a named individual, yes, you have older mesopotamian vampiric creatures, but this dude was as real as you and me, his name was Jure Grando Alilović. He was a local from Kringa, married. He had dided one day, seemingly unexplainable, as he was healthy up untill then. Years later he returned and by account, terorrized his widow (what an odd phraze lol) night after night, as well as the rest of the village until they formed a torch and pitchfork merry band and dug up his body. Turns out, he was as fresh as the day he died, despite many years passed. It was said he dad an ominous smirk etched onto his lips, as he 'slept' (the locals of that period calimed he was as dead or in coma, or the investigators interepreted it as such) the angry mob of villagers finished him off for good.

Edit: for the record, I believe it's a load of bullshit, as well as those mesopotamian ones and Dracula himself. Those were either sick people (rabies, porphirya or other) or what we today would call mentally unstable, with very violent, sociopathic and posibly saddistic personalities just known so people made up overexaggerated stories about them, spreading a meme.
