  • There are such beings as vampires, some of us have evidence that they exist. Even had we not the proof of our own unhappy experience, the teachings and the records of the past give proof enough for sane peoples. Let me tell you, he is known everywhere that men have been. In old Greece, in old Rome, in ancient Ireland he returned from the grave to seek blood. He flourished in Germany all over, in France, in England, in India, even in China, so far from us in all ways, there even is he.
