THINGS TO HELP PREVENT A DEAD LOVED ONE FROM BECOMING A VAMPIRE

By: Shyan Chapman 10-18-2003

Again, like anything else, there is always more than one way to do something. Here is a list of things that people have done in the past to prevent the dead from becoming a Vampire, and feasting on the living.

*Burry them face down in the coffin.

REASON WHY: If the dead woke, the first thing they would do is try to get out. If they were buried face down they would claw out and keep digging themselves deeper, not knowing they weren't going toward the surface.

*After burial, sprinkle the ground with poppy seeds, or burry them with garlic.

REASON WHY: Poppies, being a Narcotic, the seeds would make them want to sleep, and, in the second case, Vampires are highly allergic to Garlic, and would die instantly.

*After burial, place a heavy tomb stone where the head would be lined up directly beneath it, or weigh the coffin down with large stones.

REASON WHY: If the dead woke, they would be unable to sit up, or get out, because the stone would be way too heavy, and impossible to claw through.

*Nail the dead to their coffin, or nail a stake through the heart before being placed into the ground.

REASON WHY: With a steak already through its' heart, it could not change into a Vampire, and if it did, it would die instantly. Being nailed to the coffin would make it impossible to get out, take the stake out, or even move for that matter.

*Plant Rose Bushes around, or on the grave.

REASON WHY: Vampires are highly allergic to thorns.
