Vampires

vam-pire: [vamp-pahyuhr] –noun 1. a preternatural being, commonly believed to be a reanimated corpse, that is said to suck the blood of sleeping persons at night.

Now one of my favorite unknown creatures the ever so popular: VAMPIRE.

Vampire folklore has been stretched through out history. From Romania to Yugoslavia to the first majorly famous vampire: Vlad Tepes aka Vlad the Impaler aka Vlad DRACULA.

With TV shows and movies like Blade, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Moonlight etc. Movies and TV shows like these are made to entertain people but, if you lived in places like Romania, Transylvania, Serbia back in the days when vampires where first coming about it
was no entertainment some people where seriously scared that they would fall victims to these at the time unknown creatures.




^Vlad the Impaler^

Many people are convinced that they are one of these cool but, also scared creatures but, I think if vampires do exist then I don't think they would come out in the open and say "I'm a vampire". That might lead to one thing: a witch hunt.

They are many famous stories of vampires from Vlad the Impalers who had a thirst for blood and favored filling people by throw there bodies on stakes.
To The Forsaken where 8 of 9 French soldiers who were left to die struck a deal with dark angel Abbadon; eternal life for their souls. They then killed and drank the blood of one of the soldiers to seal the deal. Ashamed of what they had done they couldn't look at themselves hence the no reflection or not going out in sunlight.

According to legend there are only 3 ways to kill a vampire.
1.Sunlight
2.Decapitation
3.Fire
