What are the characteristics of vampires?

Appearance characteristics of vampires: the skin is dark or purple (often attributed to blood sucking). The body is swollen. This is usually due to bacteria leading to corruption and flatulence. When I dug it out of the coffin, there was blood on my nose and mouth.

The left eye is always open. Hair and nails will continue to grow. The theory that hair and nails continue to grow after death is actually mainly because the skin shrinks after death, which leads to the illusion that hair and nails originally hidden in the body are exposed and continue to grow.

These features are usually observed on corpses thought to be vampires. These vampires often climb out of graves, attack cows, sheep or people in the village and suck their blood dry. In some modern works, vampires can also become bats (due to their own anxiety or external stimuli), especially when encountering flash lights.

In the myths and legends of early Mesopotamian civilization, ancient Hebrew civilization and ancient Roman civilization. There is a demon who sucks sperm. The establishment of a truly modern vampire image comes from the arrangement, editing and publication of oral folklore in Eastern Europe in the18th century.

In these legends, a vampire refers to a corpse that can crawl out of the grave and suck blood after death. Under the condition of underdeveloped medical care, some people who didn't really die, but just went into shock, were buried and moved after waking up or waking up, and were regarded as immortal.

During the epidemic period of the Black Death in Europe, when people were in extreme panic, they would have this fear of the dead, so as to continue their activities, so there appeared a German vampire legend like Neuntoter who had the ability to infect the Black Death.
