Topic: A proper encyclopedia of folklore vampires

Found this a few years ago. Thought it was worth hanging onto and sharing.

Encyclopedia of the Vampire World

Exactly what it says on the tin. Frankly, some of those entries approach "Twilight" levels of idiocy.

Chordewa: Bengal. A witch found among the Oraons capable of turning her soul into a type of black, vampire cat. She drains people by eating the person's food and licking their lips. Can be identified by a peculiar mewing, and any harm done to the cat was immediately seen on the witch as well.

Others are suitably gruesome.

Brahmaparush: India. A particularly cruel vampire species that enjoys consuming humans. Drinks blood from the skull of the victim, eats the flesh from the skull, and dances with the body's intestines wrapped like a turban around its head.

Maybe Konami could take a few hints.

Indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Good find. I'll give it a read later-on.

Frankly, some of those entries approach "Twilight" levels of idiocy.

I have to wonder if those are recent entries made by the fans...

I think it's just run by one person. That's the impression I get, anyway.
