Vampire Myths and Facts

I am sure many of you are no longer sure what to believe when it comes to vampires. Fact and fiction is easily muddled for those learning about this race. Below is a list of common vampire "facts" that are not actually true.

•They melt when they come in direct contact with light (Irish vampires sparkle)
•They die when they touch garlic
•They can be killed by having a wooden stake hammered through their heart (They can be killed only by being ripped apart and then burnt)
•They drink the blood of only beautiful people (Generally vampires aren't picky)
•They have hypnotic powers (They just have a knack for convincing people)
•They cannot enter a property uninvited
•After drinking a victim's blood, that person automatically becomes a vampire (The person either dies from blood loss, OR becomes a vampire if the feeder decides to inject the venom in)
•They have huge fangs (They simply have sharp, strong teeth)
•They have no reflections
•They turn into bats and sleep hanging upside-down/ in coffins (Vampires don't sleep and generally wouldn't touch a coffin)

These are the main myths. There are of course many more. If you have any questions, remember, don't hesitate to comment on the post.
