People think there is all kinds of creatures out there in the paranormal world. How do we know that there are really any out there. What kinds of creatures are out there and are they real or how did they get started. So I decided to tell you how exactly what kind of creatures are out there.
The first creature we are going to talk about is vampires. “Vampires is a kind of aspectual body which according to a superstition existing among the Slavic and other races on the lower Danube, leaves the grave during the night and maintains a semble of life sucking the warm blood of living men and women while they are asleep. Dead wizards, werewolves, heretics, and other outcast became vampires as do also the illegitimate offspring of parent themselves illegitimate and anyone killed by a vampires.” (Whitney Century Dictionary) Encyclopedia Britannia says “The person who turn vampires are generally wizards, suicides, and those who come to a violent death and or have been cursed by their parents or by the church. But anybody can become a vampire if an animal (especially cat) leaps over the corpse or a bird flies over it.”
There are different types of vampires out there are all different types “vetcala which has a human body, but hands and feet turn backwards instead of drinking blood it loves playing tricks and jokes.” There is also a vampire called a “ mulo which is believed to have enormous sexual desires particularly with its spouse and formal lovers.” (Robert 11). Now the way to find a vampire is to find its grave and see if the grave is sunken in or hole in it. Plus if the cross is crooked. Now there are vampires in various forms Reanimated corps, in the Greek some believe they had no form at all and it can go into other forms. Lamia vampires only attack kids. Strige is a vampire which is like a demon that prey in young demons. People at risk getting attack by vampires are pregnant women, new mothers, and infants. Now some ways to preventing the attack is use garlic, salt, sand, and seed and put them around your bed because they are OCD. Lay a newspapers by your bed because they will have to read every single word. Religious symbols like crosses and crucifies. Now some ways to kill the vampires are stabbing it threw the heart with the stake. Another way people use to kill the vampires is decapitation. While drinking blood is one of the main characteristic that people associated with vampire today. Sometimes vampires simply visit ill fortune on their victim for no reason than pleasure. Now by the 17th century vampires was consider such as serious matter by the church that books on how to deal with them. Before Dracula vampires used to suck blood from the heart as if they were sucking blood from there soul. Then when vampires became entertaining they moved to the jugular for more blood. Now in early literature vampires were not effected by sunlight.
Now if you are one of those people who just have a hard time believing that nothing would ever do that let me show you some real life recorded evidence. There was a lady named Elizabeth Bathory she took a thrill delight in doing unusual punishment on her primarily female servants. She was also known as the Bloody Lady of Cachtice, and she was a Hungarian countess who lived in the Cachtice Castle near Trencin in Royal Hungary or Slovakia. She was born on the family estate on August 7, 1560 and died August 21, 1614.
. (“Elizabeth Bathory”) She was related to the king of Poland and prince of Transylvania. She is consider the most infamous serial killer in Hungarian and Slovak history. She spent most of her life at her castle. In 1575, she married Nadasdy. He took her last name because of her status. In 1578, he became chief commander of Hungarian troops and leading them to war against the Turks. He was consider brave and cruel. It is said that he was violent with is wife. He died at the age of 47. After her husband death, she and her four partners were accused of torturing and killing dozens of girls and young women. In 1611, she was imprisoned in the castle where she remained until her death of three years later. Her family relatives allowed her to avoid trial and execution. Three out of four alleged partners were put to death. There has been stories of her bathing in her victims blood to retain her youth. Based on the letters she left behind, says that she has practiced black magic. Its pretty well known that is unknown number how many women she has killed and torture but, between 1585 and 1610 it suspected that it was in the hundreds. Family knew about this but they did not intervene.
After her husbands death any restraints he may have imposed on her (or she on herself) seemed completely removed. It should be noted that besides supporting Giorgio Bastas
