Who was the first known vampire?

Answer 1

The first female "vampire" originated from the tale of Elizabeth Bathory, who believed that soaking in the blood of virgin girls would give her eternal youth. She lived in the kingdom of Hungary and lived from August 7, 1560 to August 21, 1614 (at age 54). She killed over 200 girls in the most brutal ways.

The descriptions of torture that emerged during the trials were often based on hearsay. The atrocities described most consistently included:

• severe beatings over extended periods of time, often leading to death.
• burning or mutilation of hands, sometimes also of faces and gentitalia.
• biting the flesh off the faces, arms and other bodily parts.
• freezing to death.
• bad surgery on victims, often leading to death.
• starving of victims.

Movies and games (such as the movie Stay Alive) are based off what she did. Although it isn't the exact story of the typical "vampire," or "vampyre," it's still considered the origin of female vampires. Count Dracula wasnt the only freak show.

The use of needles was also mentioned by the collaborators in court.

Today there are vampire clubs where they do drink each other's blood, but it is more ritual and they don't drink enough of their partner's blood to weaken them as you see in the movies. Both parties volunteer for this ritual. Some people in vampire clubs with suck their own blood. However, for a human to drink there own blood in unhealthy and cause external damage to organs.
