VAMPYRES AND THEIR KIN, DOCUMENT
Authored by French monk Dom Augustin Calmet in 1746. He wrote: "We are told that dead men… return from their tombs and are heard to speak, walk about, injure both men and animals whose blood they drain… making them sick and finally causing their death. No can the men deliver themselves unless they dig the corpses up and drive a sharp stake through these bodies, cut off their heads, tear out the hears, or else burn the bodies to ashes. It seems impossible not to subscribe to the prevailing belief that these apparitions do actually come forth from their graves."
