Traditionally, vampires were not the creatures we see on television or in film.
Vampires are NOT physical beings. They were supposed to be vengeful ghosts, who floated out of their graves, leaving the cadaver in the coffin. This ghost could enter people's homes and feed on their blood or life-essence. After feeding, the ghost returned to the grave, nourishing the corpse. THis was the reason for staking a vampire into the grave; the stake would anchor the hungry vampiric spirit into the grave, starving the vampire.
Belief in vampires or vampire-like beings was very common in the pre-modern period and various measures were taken to ensure that dead individuals would not return as vampires. The word "vampire" comes from Romania; vampire legends are still very common in Romania, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
