Vampires have existed in the lore of many cultures for centuries. Tales of blood-drinking spirits are considered to be the precursors of modern day vampires. Almost every ancient culture had its own bloodsucker, notably the goddess Sekhmet of Egypt. 
The Persians were the first to have tales of such creatures left on shards of pottery. The biblical figure of Lilith was considered a blood drinker, subsisting on the blood of babies. In ancient Greece, Empusa was the daughter of the goddess Hecate and transformed herself into a beautiful young woman and feasted on the blood of her lovers. Tales of blood drinkers are found in the ancient transcripts of India as well as appearing in old Jewish stories. And of course the most famous in history, Vlad the Impaler, and Countess Bathory (most prolific female murderer).
Vampire sightings in Transylvania caused a frenzy among the populace with stakings and grave diggings to identify the culprits.
Vampires in modern lore encompass both the good and the bad. Good vampires hunting the bad and bad vampires virtually feasting on any and all.
So beware! All you who venture out on All Hallows Eve! The creatures of the night are circling.
