Vampire is A blood-sucking ghost; a soul of a dead person superstitiously believed to come from the grave and wander about by night sucking the blood of persons asleep, thus causing their death. This superstition is now prevalent in parts of Eastern Europe, and was especially current in Hungary about the year 1730.

The persons who turn vampires are generally wizards, witches, suicides, and persons who have come to a violent end, or have been cursed by their parents or by the church, --Encyc. Brit.

Dracula is your most famous vampire. "There are far worse things awaiting man than death." Count Dracula, Dracula (1931)

In medieval times, to ward off werewolves and vampires, garlic was hung from doors and windows to keep vampires out. Vampires are believed to be afraid of garlic. Farm animals can be rubbed with garlic to protect them, while garlic often hangs from doors and windows to keep vampires out. Anyone who does not like garlic can be suspected of being a vampire.

According to tradition, a vampire is a person who does not die, an "un-dead," whose corpse rises from the grave at night and seeks to suck the blood of the living. The vampire must return to the grave at dawn.

The following types of people can all become vampires: Excommunicated people, unbaptized children, criminals, babies born with teeth, witches, magicians, and the seventh son of a seventh. So if you fall into one of these categories you are probably a vampire.

Various methods have been used to protect against vampires. Driving a stake of ash or aspen wood through the heart during the daylight hours will kill one. Until 1823, when it was made illegal, it was common practice in England to drive a stake through the heart of suicides. In Romania, red-hot bars were often used. The vampire's body would then be burned or reburied at a crossroads. Put coins on the Vampire's Eyelids. Bury the vampire face down and also put garlic on the corpse and in the coffin.

Thorns of wild roses will also keep vampires away. Because vampires are compulsive counters, poppy seeds are often tossed around cemeteries, so that when the vampire awakes, he will spend the night counting and be forced to return to the grave before dawn.

Vampires also dislike mirrors and silver, so silver crosses or icons were frequently displayed in houses for protection. To spot a vampire make it look into a mirror, if you do not see the person in the mirror, you know they are a vampire.
