Through novels and movies such as
Dracula, we have come to think of vampires as undead males who leave
their graves at night to suck the blood of the living. But worldwide
folk tradition is not so clear-cut--nor male-dominated. Carriers of
death assume many forms. Demons, witches, succubi, werewolves, and
vampires at times are indistinguishable. Traditional accounts of their
origins and methods of attack--as well as means to avoid, identify
or destroy them--often do not separate them into neat, self-contained
species. Demons, for example, also suck the blood of the living or
feed on corpses. The body of a witch, like that of a vampire, may
be exhumed and burned to halt its attacks. A worldwide tradition of
supernatural assaults by female creatures suggests that the vampire's
family tree has deep roots and many branches.
