	Encyclopedia: Strzyga (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		When they die, only one soul gets passed on, and the other soul causes the deceased Strzyga to come alive and prey upon other living beings.
		A common version of this belief says that a strzyga is an undead newborn child.
		Any child born dead was believed to become one if certain precautions (like those mentioned in the previous paragraph) were not met.

		For Kapiec, you see, was a strzyga, or, as some say, a strzygon.
		Now a strzyga is one born not only with two sets of teeth, but with two hearts also, and two souls, and when he dies only one of the souls, the one the priest has baptised and which has been given all the rites of the Church, dies and goes to heaven.
		The other soul, unbaptised, lives on and causes the strzyga’s body to rise from the grave and prey on man and beast.

	Folklore: The nightmare experience, sleep paralysis, and witchcraft accusations - Focus on "the Nightmare"
		In a number of European societies, the nightmare has also, both in phenomenology and in legends, been attributed to the spirits of the dead, rather than to witches or the mara.
		In Poland, the nightmare experience was sometimes attributed to the strzyga (from the Latin striga), which in Polish came to be associated with dead people's souls (Schiffmann 1987, 149).
		Further north, in Finland, folklore material collected between 1890 and 1960 shows that, although being pressed by spirits was commonly interpreted as an act of witchcraft, it was also attributed to the spirit of a dead person, particularly that of a child (see Jauhiainen 1998).
