A Little about Vampires
A vampire is a being who according to popular superstition, out of his grave to suck the blood of the living.
Neither dead nor alive, but living in death, the vampire is an anomaly among the monsters.
It is generally described as being very thin, hairy and equipped with sharp teeth, which becomes, once satiated, fat to bursting, and the fresh blood of his victims out of the mouth.
The vampire is endowed with superhuman strength, enabling it to raise the slab of the tomb. He likes to scare the good people coming knocking on their door at night because he hates the sun, it is deprived of shadow and reflection. It emits low growl deep in his tomb, and before him, the dogs fall off.
Suicides, excommunicated, sorcerers, are likely to become vampires after their death, but especially those who have been bitten in the jugular vein and sucked by a vampire.
This superstition, very old in the literature. (Sumer, Egypt, lsrael and China), was studied by Dom Augustin Calmet in his Treatise on Apparitions (1731). see Fantastic.
