Vampires
The idea of drinking blood to be immortal is not a foreign one to the human mind. Indians, Greeks and Christians have all had a part in this conception. Drinking the blood of another is sometimes understoodas obtaining the "life-blood" of someone else for yourself. Therefore, the idea of the vampire stems from cannibalism, and the concept of putting someone's body inside your own to obtain more life.Vampires are creatures that maintain immortality by sucking blood from humans and animals. They are night creatures, and the sight of sunlight turns them to stone, or sometimes dust. Typically, they arecharacterized by black capes, long corpse-like bodies and the ability to fly, although whether or not these characteristics were included in the original vampire myths is not known. They sleep in coffins, can't stand churches, and scream at the sight of garlic. Vampires are also highly sexual, and they often prey on members of both sexes.

There are several creatures that may have acted asprecursors to the vampire. The leech is perhaps the most basic, representing the idea of a slimy, forboding creature taking human blood. The chupacabra, a blood-sucking alien creature that feasts on animals, is another vampire-like myth. This myth originated in the hills of South America, and still exists today. The myth of the fury, or a women that sucks the life from a sleeping victim, wascreated in Greek times to represent the wrath of the Gods. These creatures were released upon the earth to suck sould through the mouths of their victims, and send them to agony-filled torment in Hades, or Hell. Finally, a species known as the "vampire bat" has been studied by many scientists because of its strange eating habits. This bat sucks the blood of its victims by making a clean cut to the neckand main artery. It's saliva contains chemicals that gradually take consciousness from the creature it it eating.The vampire myth appears to have originated in Transylvania, according to the Stoker novel, in the dark hills of eastern Europe. Stoker's Dracula is an old, placid man that appears harmless except for an air of doom about his castle. His vampires are the curse of the surrounding towns,and the descendants of a strange disease.
In my opinion I think that vampires are really cool but is Dracula as the main vampire and vampires are almost all better than him and do not become bat, and I also think it s very unrealistic because, as they will bite people in the neck and leave most people alive, but very Abila and have super powers.
The Headless Horseman
It is said that in a towncut off from all civilization is told the story of a jockey who used to make their way at night in a beautiful horse, very surprised people are wondering what that strange man does that?, because it was not unusual for someone to come out and less at night, to make these trips.
In a very dark night with strong lightning disappeared from the place without giving signs of its demise. Years passedand the people had already forgotten about that person, and was on a night like the one disappeared, to be heard again ride the horse.For many people the curiosity peeked, and saw a horseman riding through the streets, was when he fell and lightning lit up the rider and what they saw was that the rider had no head.

in my opinion I think that history is not as scary as design and history seems...
