What are 10 facts you know about Vampires?

Question

Other then the obvious stuff like they don't like wolfbane, crusifix (sp?), garlic. Sleep in coffins. Drink blood. Are the undead. Only come out at night. I will only give points to people who give a good answer- something I don't know and isn't obvious.

Answer 1

1) a vampire cannot enter a house unless he or she is invited in

2) the hopping corpse is an equivalent of the vampire in Chinese tradition, however, it consumes the victim's life essence rather than blood

3) vampires, in Slavic legend, were afraid of garlic and liked counting grain, sawdust, etc

4) vampires could be destroyed by staking, decapitation, burning, repeating the funeral service, sprinkling holy water on the body, or exorcism

5) in Romanian vampire myth, a person born with a caul, extra nipple, extra hair, born too early, black cat crossed the mother's path, born with a tail, born out of wedlock, one who died an unnatural death, or died before baptism, was doomed to become a vampire, as was the seventh child of the same sex in a family, and the child of a pregnant woman who did not eat salt or who was looked at by a vampire or a witch

6) living vampires were identified by distributing garlic in church and seeing who did not eat it

7) vampires in European folklore are said to cast no shadow and have no reflection. this may be tied to the vampire's lack of a soul

8) the three species of actual vampire bats are all endemic to Latin America

9) to prevent a suspected vampire from rising from the grave in the first place include burying it upside-down, severing the tendons at the knees, or placing seeds on the ground at the gravesite of a presumed vampire in order to keep the vampire occupied all night

10) it seems that until the 19th century, vampires in Europe were thought to be hideous monsters from the grave. they were usually believed to rise from the bodies of suicide victims, criminals, or evil sorcerers, though in some cases an initial vampire thus "born of sin" could pass his vampirism onto his innocent victims

Answer 8

Well there are alot of diff. these ppl say some ppl say that if you get bit by one you turn into one some say that they bite you then they have to have you drink there blood to turn into one. Going by just the ones i like i would say (1)you have to get bit and then drink there blood. (2)Normally only a boy bites a girl and a girl bite a boy because it's a very sexual thing. (3)If the first vampires dies they all die (4) they can't come into your house in less you invite them (5) You can kill them by the stake in the heart but you can also kill them by cutting the head off (6) they are as strong as 10 humans (7) they can take form as a bat, mist, or wolfs (8) they can change the way they look to look like a diff. human.......That's all i can think of although these may or may not be "facts" it all depends on if they are real i don't think they are

Answer 9

They can have unprotected sex because they can't catch anything and they can't fertilize a women's egg. That is a myth, they don't sleep in coffins. You can be bit by a Vampire but unless they make you drink their blood you can't be sired. Supposedly they don't have souls, guilt or any emotions except finding their next kill. They can't get fat they can't get pimples. Sorry can't think of anything more.
