    Do Vampires Really Exist?

    It is difficult to make a single, definitive

    description of the folkloric vampire, though

    there are several elements common to many

    European legends. Vampires were usually

    reported as bloated in appearance, and ruddy,

    purplish, or dark in color; these characteristics

    were often attributed to the recent drinking of

    blood. Indeed, blood was often seen seeping

    from the mouth and nose when one was seen in

    its shroud or coffin and its left eye was oftenopen. It would be clad in the linen shroud it was

    buried in, and its teeth, hair, and nails may have

    grown somewhat, though in general fangs were

    not a feature.

    Discover the difference between truth and myth, fantasy and fiction.

    Vampires are all the rage. Along with this craze about vampires, there aremany vampire myths floating around. Before you start believing any of these

    myths, learn a few lessons from vampire history and discover the truth.

    Myth #1 -- Vampires are Real

    The myth of vampires came about during the 16th century. When

    gravediggers opened mass graves to add more bodies to them, they

    discovered corpses with blood running from their mouths.

    Grave diggers believed this proved the corpses came back alive to suck the

    blood from other humans. In reality, the corpses had blood running from their

    mouths because of basic decomposition.

    Gas builds up in the organs of decomposing bodies. The bodies bloat making

    blood ooze from the mouths of the corpses.

    Myth #5 -- There are Still Real Vampires Today

    It depends on your definition of vampire. If you believe that vampires sleep in

    coffins during daylight, come to life at night to suck the blood of victims and

    fly around as bats, then no... there are no vampires.

    Unfortunately, there are large numbers of very misguided people who truly

    believe they are vampires and drink blood from willing victims.

    Vampires have always been fascinating and the source of scary movies and

    books. If stories about vampires thrill you and give you the goosebumps

    you're seeking, that's fine. Just remember to keep truth and fiction about

    vampires separate.
