Chapter 18 Unholy Creature

• "Vampires are undead, suicide victims, or witches, but vampires can also be created from evil spirits that enter a corpse and through the bite of another vampire. The legend of vampires is widespread, and in some places, it is even causing mass hysteria because some people are being accused of being vampires," said Vincent, murmuring the book he was reading.
• "The process of becoming a vampire varies according to different beliefs. In Slavic and Chinese beliefs, if a cat or dog stepped on a corpse, it would become undead. In Russian, vampires are witches or humans who, during their lifetime, oppose the Church."Vincent slightly frowned when he read the last sentence, but then he continued.
• "Cultural rituals are sometimes performed to prevent recently deceased people from turning undead. The tradition continued to develop into the Greek belief of vrykolakas, in which a cross and pottery with the inscription Jesus Christ reigns were placed with a corpse to prevent the corpse from turning into a vampire."
