Answer 2

The origin of vampire comes from two different sources.

The first source were accredited to people in the dark ages afflicted with a disease known as porphyria. This disease would manifest itself as lesions on their skin. Whenever they went out into the daylight, their skin would burn and scar. Thus the legend of "creatures of the night."

The other source comes from the early 18th century in which people were afraid to be misdiagnosed as dead and buried alive. Edgar Allen Poe was one such person. As a result, some graves were created bearing a pole with a flag. If the person awoke from a coma and found themselves buried alive, they could pull a rope thus raising the flag. Unfortunately, these ropes would break with time and the flags would raise.

When the body was unburied, they people would find some symptoms showing life after death. The hair and finger nails appeared to grow and the lips would be curled up exposing the teeth. These people thought this was a sign of vampirism and would decapitate the body. Know a days, we know this was just the sking shrinking back, a form of decay, which gave the appearance of growth.

As a whole, the legends of vampires can be traced back to before christ in a variety of cultures from Japan to the Middle East to England. I believe the native americans were the only people not to have a legend of vampires.

Answer 3

There is a society called Vampyrs. A vampire is a imaginary supernatural being. These are found in ancient religious myths and in such creative fiction as horror novels, films, TV programs, comic books, etc. A common meaning is a "reanimated corpse that rises from the grave to suck the blood of living people and thus retain a semblance of life." 1 They often are described as dying if exposed to sunlight, being repelled by garlic, having fang-shaped eye teeth, sleeping in coffins and being very difficult to murder. They can only be killed by driving a wooden stake through their heart -- or perhaps by shooting them with a silver bullet. There are other, similar, definitions. But a vampyr is a actual individual who sincerely believes that they need to feed on either the blood or the energy of other people, animals, and/or things, in order to maintain optimum spiritual and/or physical health. They often form groups, called houses or covens, which are composed of vampyres, donors who supply blood, and individuals who are both donors and consumers of blood.
But Vlad the Impaler,prince of wachalla, was the basis for Dracula(book).as a form of pychologigal warfarehe drank the blood of his enemies.
