Throughout this short, yet in-depth exploration of
historical accounts of vampires I’ve learned that stories are changed by each
individual who tells them. Everyone hears and interoperates things differently,
and the accounts of what happened in vampire sightings change based on where it
comes from and who’s saying it. I have learned to take the incongruities and
through them out as they are most likely exaggerations. I went from taking all
the facts I could find and believing they were reasonable, to being more skeptical
about what details were plausible for that time.
I can’t truly say I’ve found any sort of real answer;
however I’ve dug up some interesting stories about real sightings of “vampire”
dating back hundreds of years. Cleary these people were scared of something
real in existence, but it seems they let their fear only get the best of them.
I believe people were just seeing things that they couldn’t understand that we
do today. But there are some great accounts that have undeniable similarities
throughout Europe, Asia, India and Russia.
I could go on and on about what I would like to find in
these historical accounts about the blood sucking monsters. Some of these accounts
seriously interest me with their shocking ideas and the reactions these people
had to possible vampire cases. I understand that people would shiver toward any
clue set my “vampire hunters” of how to identify a vampire, but what I’m still
most uncertain of is how exactly people identified possible future vampires and
vampires themselves. Another thing I’d
like to know is how long this vampire craze existed and what brought along the
demise of their hysteria that lasted hundreds of years.
I’d like to argue that there are more credible accounts of
documents cases that exist about vampires that can lead to a plausible explanation
for these crazy allegations.
