In Brahm Stoker's Dracula, Dracula is the first one. There are legends in other societies that tell of beasts of the night and demons that suck blood, or eat babies and kill livestock. This is actually a kind of common theme across all of Europe, but there are stories from many, many other cultures.

Are there myths or fables about jaguars?
Jaguars have a reputation for being human-eaters.

There are also stories from the Amazonian Indians that tell of jaguars emerging from the forest to play with village children.

Is it true that werewolves lived long time ago?
Realize all of the answers below are opinions and people pretending to be werewolves. Werewolves were told of in mythological tales long ago, but there was no evidence that werewolves exist. Werewolves are one of the biggest myths today, and only stories can tell us if werewolves exist.
We are still living today. However, most of us prefer to be called 'lycans', not werewolves, like myself. References to werewolves go back to the bronze-age. The concept of 'the animal within' is a philosophical point common to many cultures. Interesting to note: the further back you go the more alike vampires, werewolves, ghouls and zombies seem to get.
How can you reveal yourself to this human on the internet so freely? I still haven't made peace with myself to even think about revealing what I really am to others. Even though you can figure it out yourselves now, I want to know how old are you friend?
Some lycans like myself live for hundreds of years and I'm only in my lycan teens witch means I'm about 156 years old or something I can't remember.
Can married people cast love spells to be with someone else?
Well you would have to find the right spell. Especially for married people. To find out if some one has done this put bits of crushed garnet in lemon tea and whisper your partner's name. If the tea does not go a deep red then they have done the spell. If you are looking to do such a thing, beware of your partners feelings. You would not like to be betrayed by magic would you?
