Vampire (mythology): Difference between revisions

[[The Doctor's TARDIS]] had records of vampire legends on at least seventeen [[planet]]s, particularly [[Earth]], but myths of vampires existed on almost every civilised world. Common traits were that they drank [[blood]], could turn others into vampires, feared [[star|sunlight]], had [[mirror|no reflections]], feared [[cross]]es, couldn't cross running water and could only be killed by a stake to the [[heart]] or beheading. They could supposedly only enter a room or house upon being invited, which was why they were so charming.
