If you check this link in Google books, you can see a mention that Bram Stoker based his Dracula at least in part on stories he was told as a child in Sligo about a vampire-like woman named Dearg-Dubh:

For the pronunciation:
súmaire = SOO-muh-ruh
súmaire fola = SOO-muh-ruh FOH-luh
Dearg-Dubh = JER-igg DOO or DYERR-igg DOO [depending on dialect]
Thank you, I really appreciate it
