The belief in Vampire Watermelons is found in the Balkans. According to their traditions, any melon kept more than ten days or after Christmas will
come alive, rolling around on the ground and growling. People naturally
have little fear of the creatures. One of the main indications that
a melon is about to undergo a vampiric transformation (or has just
completed one) is the appearance of a drop of blood on it.
Like pumpkins, these fruit can become vampires; they are not considered very dangerous, particularly because they have no teeth.
Virtually any kind of melon is susceptible, transforming if kept for more than ten days. They make growling sounds, are stained with traces of
blood, and roll around to pester the living.
