But later, the thought of them - what they are, what they do... I always thought the myth of the vampire was so widespread across different civilisations because it was a variant of the 'bogeyman', but a far more evil incarnation. I'm not sure I'd like to do the research you've obviously done though, and I do make sure I've got garlic in the house and that my windows are shut at night...Savita Kalhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977368691995933130noreply@blogger.com
