Every culture has its legends of Vampires.
No matter how far removed they are from another people, they all have similar accounts of blood sucking undead.

In the original story of Frankenstein by Mary Wolstencraft Shelly, Frankenstein was the name of the doctor, not the monster. The monsters name was Adam.

The original name for Frankenstein was The Modern Prometheus.

Originaly , Vampires turned into wolves,, not bats.
Many vampire and werewolf legends ended up getting entertwined because of this.

Legends of vampires turning to bats didnt happen till Columbus discovered blood drinking bats in the new world.

The actual term Zombie comes from the Swahili word Zuvembe, meaning servant.
 They were originaly created by making a person ingest Datura Metel. Basicaly strycnine.

Jimson weed in America contains strycnine.

Boiled lettuce contains opium.

Peting a cat on the headcauses its brain to release a chemical akin to LSD, giving it a feeling of wellbeing and euphoria.
