Vampires
By Karolina M.
Are they imaginary creaters,or are they real?Are they human killers,or are they just fictional characters?Could any of you guess who I'm talking about?Here's a hint.There was a movie made in 2008 with them.Are you thinking vampires?If you are,then your correct!
Have you ever wondered how vampires might look like?Well don't get your hopes up because not many people know.Why?Because the ones that might know,they still don't even know themselvs if vampires are real or not.Many poeple though have guessed that vampires would have super human strenght,they would be very fast and they would have red eyes,pale skin,red hair,long nails,slim or thin bodies,and even the total opposite,vampires would be chubby!Vampires are also said to not go out during sunlight,because it's said to burn them,and they are also said to be sleeping in coffins all day and only come out at night.
Different cultures believe different things on how vampires might look like.I'll give you some true examples.Bulgarian vampires have one nostril.Balvarian vampires sleep with their thumbs crossed,and with one eye open,one eye closed while they sleep.Albanian vampires wear high heeled shoes.And Brazilian vampires are said to have furry feet,while Mexican vampires are said to have a bare skull.
A lot of people have also thought that vampires might be monsters,ghosts,gods,dead people and even bats.Why would people think vampires might be bats?Look no further than the common vampire bats!Why?Because it's one of the most common bats,hence the name,and it's one of the three bat species that drink blood.The other two bat species drink blood from birds,but the common vampire bat drinks blood from mammals.Yes,even by accident,the common vampire bat can suck blood from us humans.People also think that vampires might be shape-shifters and turn into bats,rats,dogs,wolves,spiders and even moths.Vampires are not just said to turn into animals and insects,but also fog,air or clouds to go throught things like closed doors,windows and tight spaces.
Vampirism is a word to say that someone is a vampires.There are three main ways to turn into a vampire;by birth,by bite and by death.The second though,is self-explanatory,a vampire bites you and then you turn into one yourself.There are numerous signs to see that a child has been born vampire,or a corpse has become one after death.Some of the causes for vampirism in a child are being born on certain holy days,new moons and Equinoxes.What's an Equinoxe you ask me?Well,it only happens two times a year,and it's when the earth is tilted on a 90°,the sun is shinning on perfectly half of the earth,and the moon on the other.Dying before baptism as a baby is another possible way to turn into a vampire infant.Other possible reasons are curses,either after a child has been born,while in the mom's womb,or during someones funeral if dead.
Some ways to protect yourself,your house and your family are by putting garlic,crosses and mirrors around your house,or in other explanations,religous items .Why mirrors?Okay,this is kind of strange,but some vampires are said to be scared of their own reflection.All the other items are said to scare vampires off. Ever since people found out about vampires,they have found ways to kill them.By stabbing one in the heart with a knife or a sword or by spraying garlic and water onto one if they are in dunlight are some ways to kill them.
Now enough og that,but have you ever wondered if vampires would live in our neighborhood,then we would be totally freaked out,and we would call them out most dangerous predators?
Well i hope i didn't freak you out to much,but to be honest,more than half of the world believe in vampires,and think that they are indestructable.Thanks for listening,but two more questions,if you had the chance to become a vampire,would you? and do you believe in vampires?
Liked it?Thnx if you do.Alot of people in my class do,but i dont. xD
