I thought vampires came about because people didn't understand how bodies decomposed, so when they exhumed bodies back in the 1700s after some kind of accusation, and saw that the bodies were bloating and the skin was darkening, they assumed they they were coming to life and consuming blood from victims.

I did not know this.

There are like 20 million origins for vampires. I was focusing on old world of darkness (white wolf).

Can’t wait to drop this “akshually” knowledge on someone.

I remember reading some long ass time ago that the vampire lore originated from Lilith who was banned from the garden and lived on by feeding off the blood of Adam and Eve’s descendants.

I just saw You Don’t Mess with the Zohan for the first time like a week ago. It finally explained my weird love for hummus.

I just finished eating hummus 20 minutes ago.

I'm 2% Congolese and also maybe 2% gay.

I think everyone is a little gay, and if you disagree, then you are a homophobe.

[Dimmauk]

And if you are a Mod then you are 100% gay

I only know Marvel lore which is that an Atlantean sorcerer named Varnae (named after the book Varney the Vampire, the basis for much modern concept of what a vampire is) who used the Darkhold to turn himself into one along with a bunch of other people until King Kull came and wrecked the place. Varnae fled and eventually passed the Lord of the Vampires title to Dracula.

Yeah, there's also some disease where one of the treatments is to consume blood. I think it's something to do with having too much iron in your blood and not enough oxygen or something.

Just look at nosferatu, he is totally a jew. Nosferajew

They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early 19th century.

the term vampire was popularized in Western Europe after reports of an 18th-century mass hysteria of a pre-existing folk belief in the Balkans and Eastern Europe that in some cases resulted in corpses being staked and people being accused of vampirism.

People sometimes suspected vampirism when a cadaver did not look as they thought a normal corpse should when disinterred. Rates of decomposition vary depending on temperature and soil composition, and many of the signs are little known. This has led vampire hunters to mistakenly conclude that a dead body had not decomposed at all or, ironically, to interpret signs of decomposition as signs of continued life.[124]

Corpses swell as gases from decomposition accumulate in the torso and the increased pressure forces blood to ooze from the nose and mouth. This causes the body to look "plump", "well-fed", and "ruddy"—changes that are all the more striking if the person was pale or thin in life.

Like Zealot said, early medicine was wild.

I missed my calling as an 18th century doctor. Persistent cough? Sounds like you need some whiskey and opium, if that doesn't work you were probably cursed by a witch. That'll be 10 schmeckels.
