  1. Most of this is true but it’s not virus based , just a different superspecies from times when titans commanded the makings of man , henceforth the secret knowledge that it sprouted and the secret societies therein. Thank you for giving us a tribute nonetheless ❤ 🩸

  2. nice theories. I have a simpler one. humans that worshipped certain pagan deities would kidnap and sacrifice young persons and consume some of their blood. This combined woth stories of various diseases that bloat the corpse or cause madness and eye sensitivity. Regarding garlic since it fortifies the body against numerous diseases and even fight some of them as a panaceea was associated with these creatures as well. About most powers one of the abilities of possessed humans by demons is besides enhanced strength the ability to produce mass hallucinations in some cases even deceiving themselves. While they do not need invitations most houses were pretty sturdy so generaly provide a safe refuge. Crucifixes can indeed cause problems for those cultists if used with faith. An improper cross or an unbeliever using a crucifix will generally have no effect.

  3. regarding sunlight while the mentioned cultists have no real with it, they do prefer darkness as it helps with their hypnotic powers and to kidnap people. Also they do prefer deserted places and cemeteries due to the demons that inhabit them.

  4. Vampires are slaves of the Demons that is why they have aversions to the Crucifix. Apart from biological reasons, they can also be passed down or inherited like the Aswang in the Philippines that assail the unguarded especially a child, the pregnant, the ill, or the dying person. Even the dead person were believed also had eaten their internal organs at night. Not mentioning the Burglars who robbed the dead.

  5. For those wandering why vampires can’t see their reflection in mirrors, I have heard that they use to use a silver coating, silver is believed to hold certain powers and have an association with purity and that apparently vampires have an allergy to, since the 1940’s they stopped using silver and now use aluminium.
    I also heard that mirrors only reflect those that have souls. If anything I’ve found out is inaccurate please feel free to correct me ☺️

  6. of course we are real. despite your long analysis, sorry your theory is wrong, but your imagination is quite interesting. we are not humans like you. our strength can break a human bones effortlessly. in the beginning we were created with the true God in heaven. but we are cursed because we made an agreement with Lucifer so we were all thrown here in the world of people. God strictly forbids eating of blood. in defiance, blood became our main desire for survival. but God did not let man have no fight against us. what it is, I will not say.

  7. Its thought that the myth of the vampire's ability to hypnotize, (In some versions of the stories) is thought to originate from from unfaithful women, inventing it as an alibi that her alleged lover was a dangerous creature, who used unholy magic to mind control her into sleeping with him. Plus they used it to explain away a love bite as a vicious blood sucking attack. Since people were very superstitious at the time, they were believed.

  8. 1. I need this as a book written by this fictional biologist full with anatomical drawings like the Grey's Anatomy book. 2. I laughed at the sponsor being WorldAnvil because I'm worldbuilding right now and that's why I'm watching this video.

  9. I have read aabout revenants, and many things point out toward their origin is in shamanism, for they use soul flight, in translucent etherial-form, that flicker and emitt sparkles in movement. They active during 9 and 40 days, to fuel their healing of their organ and flesh, and grow new skin underneeth their "chrisalid" old skin. They start as passive poltergeist for 9, visit people and places he know in life. Then, for 40 days, they became more agressive – throw cow-dong on saints portraits, howl like a beast, eat like a giant, calling out for people to fight them, then beat them blue, people destroy fences, ride horses at night. They said to have sting-like tounge (and i didnt take this from the The Strain tv show) and use it to leech-off from people's bodily fluids nutriens (blood, milk, slso eat actual food)cause night hag attacks. In the end, they rise in a form nearly identical to their original look.

  10. The right angles thing is hilarious because just imagine you're being cornered by this apex predator monster, and then, just when you think all is lost, your geometry homework falls out of your bag and Dracula starts having a fvcking seizure because his brain can comprehend a fvcking rectangle 💀
