Vampism by Mark Antony Raines

To some it is a mistake too believe in the belief of vampirism as you do be thought absurd for having these thoughts as vampire myth is mostly unknown until about the eighteenth century in places like Wallachia, Hungary, Poland , Russia.

Voltaire in the book Philosophical Dictionary 

“We only heard of vampires from 1730 until 1735; they watched for them, their hearts were torn out, they burned them: they resembled the ancient martyrs; the more we burned, the more there were. "

Of all the popular mistakes, the belief in vampirism is certainly the most absurd; I do not even know if it is not more so than the tales of ghosts. Vampires were hardly known until around the eighteenth century. Wallachia, Hungary, Poland, Russia, were their cradles. Voltaire, in his Philosophical Dictionary, tells us: “We only heard of vampires from 1730 until 1735; they watched for them, their hearts were torn out, they burned them: they resembled the ancient martyrs; the more we burned, the more there were. "

It is astonishing that reasonable beings could have believed for so long that the dead left cemeteries at night to go and suck the blood of the living, and that these same dead then returned to their coffins.
