Belief in Vampires....

  Author:  62250  Category:(Ancient Beliefs) Created:(7/23/2003 1:30:00 PM)

A long time ago women with red hair and left handed people were thought to be vampires. That was a sure fire way they thought of identifying them. Then came the witch trials and witch hunts and one really swift way of testing to see if the accused were a witch or not was to throw them in a lake or river. If they sank and drowned they were innocent. If they floated they were guilty and promptly taken out and executed as witches.

Sometimes you just can not win.

Date: 7/23/2003 5:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 39737    That sucks! Thw whole red haired thing, do you think it could have been because vampires drank blood? im glad things are not the same now as they were then...  
Date: 7/23/2003 6:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 47805    lol, I'm left-handed too  
Date: 7/23/2003 6:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 62273    I'm glad because I cannot sink in water.  
Date: 7/23/2003 7:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 62132    There's a way to let yourself sink! Let out all your air...but then you'd drown. That would really suck. As for the red hair and left-handed thing, I'm neither so I guess I would've been semi-safe back then. Ha! Thanks for sharing. -katt  
Date: 7/24/2003 12:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 18155    That was the whole point of the "Water Trials".Either way, once a person was considered a witch,the "Trial by Water", as it was called,as opposed to "dunking", was a mere farce.Being bound and weighted down, no one could possibly float.Witches and Witchcraft,pp.325-326.  
Date: 7/24/2003 1:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 36967    Vampires, I believe could be real. these people are infected with sometype of unkown blood disease or disorder. The fact about Crosses, and other religous symbols keeping them away, I think is going out on a limb. Garlic keeping them away, well Garlic will keep almost anyone away. A Stake through the heart, well that will kill anybody. Sunlight, I think it could make them very week, depending on how the cells in their react, but I don't think it will be enough to kill them. A true Vampire, could be killed just like anyone else could. To say that Vampires have powers to turn into any other creature like a wolf or a bat, I think it is just myth. To conclude what I said, I believe that Vampires could exsist, but somethings about are not true, but they do exsist. Vampire is a type of Blood Disease, which is probably a virus.  
Date: 7/24/2003 2:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 52187    lol that is kinda funny. But that has little to none to do with vampires or their belief, you should change the title. Im not trying to be rude but people are getting the wrong image. But I didnt know that about women with red hair or people that were left handed, alot of Irish women would have been vamps then!  
Date: 7/25/2003 5:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 36967    here is something, is it possible to be a Vampire and not know it.
  
Date: 7/28/2003 8:03:00 AM  From Authorid: 28848    Yeah I've heard of the witch trials and the crazy tests that were performed. Never heard of the red-haired, left-handed vampires though. Very interesting...  
Date: 6/27/2004 6:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 62104    I learned about this in my history class years ago. Doesn't make any sence does it? I'm glad it doesn't still happen these days because my daughter is a leftie  
Date: 6/29/2004 3:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 16398    What about amidextrius people? Those who can use both hands? lol! I, myself would be SOL, being the lefty that I am...  
Date: 9/19/2004 3:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 62549    Ugh! People sucked back then!!
