Actually, the root word was Latin "striga" (aka "strix"), from which was derived the word "strigă" in Romanian, meaning "female witch" or " Barn Owl". From this were derived both "a striga" (to yell) and "strigoi" ("strigă" + masculine suffix "-oi"). bogdan | Talk 20:03, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

As this is a Romanian/Albanian/Slavic myth, I assume it's Saint Ignatius of Antioch, whose feast day is December 20. A citation will be needed, and I don't want to put it in Wiki just yet. If one needs to be killed, I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for a fatal mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessim ( talk • contribs) 14:10, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
