Original Vampires

Vampires, a blood sucking creature was always been told around as a story for many different religions. The first vampire which was known was called Dracula. He was interpreted as a vampire by Bram Stoker, an author. Originally, Dracula was actually a prince about 600 years ago. He slaughtered many of his own people and hung them on trees to scare the invaders. He was also called as Vlad Dracula and Vlad the Impaler. Some other vampires are Elizabeth Bathory, the blood countess who bathed in blood of young maidens to make her young, Jure Grando who knocked on people’s door and killed them, Peter Plogojowitz who used to kill people while they were asleep.

Back then, to scare a vampire you must need garlic, holy water and a cross. To kill a vampire, you must stake it in the heart and chop the head off and fill the mouth with garlic. Vampires were shapeshifters who could become bats or wolves. They don’t have a reflection or a shadow but nowadays vampires have been given different abilities like they have a reflection and a shadow. Some abilities have always been the same like the super speed, compulsion and getting staked to kill it. They now say vampires aren’t shapeshifters or neither are they afraid of holy water or garlic. Some say that vampires need to be invited in and some say they don’t but everyone has their own versions.
