Definition of “vampire”.
F. Miklosich, an eminent scholar of Slavic languages, claims that
'vampire' derives from ‘uber’, the Turkish word for witch. But
undoubtedly the source of 'vampire' is the Hungarian word
‘vampir’.
-McNally, Raymond T., A Clutch of Vampires
The power of the vampire is very great and many-sided, even in
his lifetime can kill people and even eat them alive; can bring into
being, or remove, various sicknesses and epidemics, storms, rain,
hail, and such; he casts spells on cows and their milk, the crops
and the husbandry generally; he knows all secrets and future, etc.
Because this he can make himself invisible or transform himself
into various objects, especially into animal forms.
-a verse from Galician folklore
Vampires come in many different types weak and strong ugly and handsome so there are
many definitions but after you’ve read my report you’ll have a pretty good idea of them.
Powers and Weaknesses of Vampires
non-reflectant: they cannot be seen in mirrors
the stare: they bend you to their will and suck your blood
morph: can turn into a bat a wolf or a fog
super senses: has enhanced senses
flight: can defy gravity
super strength:a vampire is far stronger than a normal person
non-photographable: cannot be photographed
Controlling: This is the most rare ability of these six. The ability to summon
and control some type of animals.
Weaknesses:
crosses: once a vampire sees a cross he must shield his eyes or run for cover
wild flowers: has the same effect as crosses
garlic: if a vampire eats garlic he will vomit constantly and will be seriously weakened not to mention he is repulsed by the smell but when
cooked well he will not smell it
wood: when a wooden stake is driven through a vampire’s heart it dies and disintegrates
silver: you can kill a vampire with a silver sword(note:the sword must be over 80% pure
silver)and you can use a silver nail to trap a vampire in his coffin they also cannot escape
silver chains ,silver bullets can kill them if hit in the heart
The Coffin: Almost all vampires have to sleep in their coffin during the daytimes.
Originally the coffin was made so that animals shouldn’t dig up the body.
Sunlight: Almost every vampire is very sensitive to the sun's rays, many are weakened by it and some are even harmed or killed by it.
mountain ash: if you throw mountain ash at a vampire it is weakened and must leave
immediately
Running Water: Vampires cannot cross running water. The reason is linked to
that of vampires having no reflection, because at the point of time where this belief
sprung up, most mirrors were no better than a standing stream of water.
Beheading: Very often this has to be done with the gravedigger’s shovel.
Burning: Burning the body seems to be a very common and almost universal
method to get rid of a vampire.if you burn or destroy a vampires coffin they die
other: vampires cannot escape rope covered in garlic powder or mountain ash.vampires
can
be hurt by vampires but not killed. if you wear a cross around your neck a vampire cannot
bite you
wolf bay: (a flower) it is used to repel werewolves and vampires and has the same effect
as garlic
bodies of water: they cannot cross any fairly large body of water
holy ground: a vampire cannot walk on holy ground
