Shtriga are Albania vampire witches that transform into moths at night to hunt for babies to drain of blood. A child sickened by a Shtriga's touch can be cured if you can somehow get the crone to spit in the infant's mouth. Shtriga can hide in the day as ordinary humans, but can be detected by their hatred of garlic. They can be captured and held in a building that has crucifixes made from pig bones on the doors. After draining a victim of blood, a Shtriga will uncontrollably vomit a little of the blood on the ground. If this blood is found and collected on a silver or gold coin and let dry, the coin can serve as a talisman agains Shtriga attacks.
