You've probably read about vampires. Maybe you have even seen them in movies. But maybe you're still asking yourself, what is a vampire and where did vampires come from?

Vampires take a lot of different forms. In scary movies, vampires are blood-sucking monsters. In a popular movie, they look like popular high school students. On a popular children's TV show, the vampire is a counting monster. Despite the many forms they take, one things is for certain - vampires are not real. At least most people don't think so.

When vampires first appeared in Eastern European legend, they were known as evil spirits. These spirits hung around graveyards. Their goal was to sneak into a grave. Then they would enter the dead person's body and try to find blood to eat.

Legend also said that vampires liked counting. They would count anything that they could find. Sometimes they would be so focused on counting that they would forget to sneak into graves. If vampires were real, finding something for them to count would be an easy way to escape.

Of course, vampires are not real, but if you are not convinced, there are a few ways to tell if you're with a real vampire.

1. Stand in a mirror with the vampire. If he has a reflection, he's not a vampire.

2. Look for holes in a coffin. If you find some, you know vampire is inside.

3. Walk through a graveyard with a black horse. If the horse gets spooked, there is a vampire grave close by.

4. If any cattle or sheep go missing while the suspected vampire is around, then it is probably vampire.

So next time you think you've discovered a vampire, put it to the test. Chances are you will discover it's not really a vampire at all.
