It´s
Dracula!
By Hannah
"I
Vant to suck your bloodeh!"
"But Mommy, really, Dracula´s coming to get me. Seriously, ma, check
my bed!"
Have you ever heard the first quote, aside from in the movies? No, right?
You´ve probably said the second quote more than once. Am I right?
Thought so. Well, just to top all that off, there really are Count Vlad
D´s out there.
The first
actual vampire was [count] Peter Plogojowitz in 1725. It was the village
of Kisilova. Plogojowitz was discovered when, a few weeks after his death,
nine of his fellow Kisilovans died. That was because Plogojowitz had attacked
them-or so they said.
The same thing happened two years later, when Arnod Paole fell to his death
by falling off a hay cart. Four people in his town also claimed that Paole
was plaguing them at night. Other people complained that their animals
had been attacked. Then, the people who were getting plagued died from
the same thing nine villagers had two long years ago-a newly discovered
disease, Vampiritis.
That´s Vampires for
you.
Just don´t forget to check
your bed at night. |
