VAMPIRES
Abchanchu – Bolivia. This vampire takes the form of an elderly man who is lost and looking for directions or a place to stay. They sometimes will just show up on a stormy night asking for a place to sleep for the night.
Once in the home the they wait for the family to fall and sleep and then drink their blood. If the victim happens to make it through the night they will wake up with a fatal disease.
Abere – Melanesian. A wild woman of beauty with young female servants.
She lives in the marshes and draws people to her with her beauty, entrapping them by making reeds surround them. Once trapped she devours her victims.
Adze – Africa. Adze fly around in the form of a firefly but if caught changes into human form.
The Adze is a vampire spirit who preys on children and is drawn especial to handsome ones. It drinks blood coconut, water and palm oil.
Algul – Arabian. This vampire is woman and she inhabits graveyards and feasts on dead babies. Algul translated means blood sucking jinn or horse leech.This vampire sucks blood like mainstream vampires but is different as it is jinn or demon and was never human to begin with.
The Algul can be destroyed my fire and sometimes magic.
Alp – Germany. Vampire spirit associated with the incubus and the boogey man.Alp is usually male and can appear as a cat, pig, bird or other animal. Was thought to be the demon dog in Cologne.
His physical manifestations can be dangerous. He is connected with nightmares and is said to be involved in the terrors of the mind and sleep and is virtually impossible to kill.
The Alp drinks blood from the nipples of children or men but prefers the milk of women.
Aluku – Israel. Leech traditional Hebrew term used for Vampire. Also in some text is one of the 7 compartments of Gehenna. (Shoel/Hell)
Each compartment is said to hold an angel and each newly deceased soul is judge by them.The Jewish traditions only mention female Vampires. The Jewish encyclopedia of myth magic and mysticism.
Amalanhig – Philippines. Appearance very similar to humans with longer Canine teeth.
They are Aswangs who failed to transfer their monstrosity so they rise from the grave to kill humans by biting their necks.It is said because they can only run straight lines if you run a zigzag you could escape them or climb out of reach of them or go into lakes as they have a fear of deep water.
Andilaveris – Kythnos. Not a traditional blood sucking vampire but none the less this apparition was considered one and feared by all.
He would wander the town going into homes breaking dishes and devouring food and wine and howl like a mad werewolf. He would climb to top of the church and urinate on passer byres and drench them.

Ekimmu Vampires
The first myth on vampires predates back to roughly 4000 B.C.E. from the ancient Sumer civilization. The ancient Sumerians existed in Mesopotamia and facts prove that by 3100 B.C.E., their culture brought the earliest archeologically proven dynasty; the first cities were built along with establishing the city and state religions were set up and practiced. The Sumerians is the first civilization to receive our attention as the first and oldest myth of a vampire-like being that is the Ekimmu.
The Ekimmu, like many vampires of folklore, was believed to have been created when someone died a violent death or was not buried properly. Although not referred to out right as a vampire, the way they are described as helps us to draw the conclusion that these creatures were real intentional psychic vampires. They were described as demonic in nature, severely rotting corpses, phantom-like entities that roamed the earth, unable to rest, in search of victims. In reference to The Devils and Evil Spirits of Babylonia, by R. Campbell Thompson, the creatures preferred the attack pattern of finding a helpless individual, then tormenting this victim until a priest or priestess could come and perform a ritual or exorcism to force the vampire off.
Uruku a.k.a. Utukku
Another creature from the Mesopotamian that fits this role as vampire-like creatures is that of the Uruku or Utukku. The Uruku is actually referred to as a "vampyre which attacks man" in a cuneiform inscription. There is very little known about the Uruku, but, the mere fact that it has been referred to as a "vampire" deems it worthy to mention here.
The Seven Demons
Another "race" of vampires is also mentioned as a vampiric entity which was much feared: "The Seven Demons". These beings have been mentioned in many Mesopotamian religious texts and incantations, like the following excerpt taken from a Sumerian banishment (taken from The Devils and Evil Spirits of Babylonia, by R. Campbell Thompson):
Demons that have no shame,
Seven are they!
Knowing no care...
Knowing no mercy,
They rage against mankind:
They spill their blood like rain,
Devouring their flesh [and] sucking their veins.
Where the images of the gods are they quake...
They are demons full of violence
Ceaselessly devouring blood.
Invoke the ban against them,
That they no more return to this neighborhood...
The creatures described above clearly have attributes similar to immortal blood-drinking vampires. The blood drinking and vein sucking make it clear to assume that they are vampires of some sort indeed. The eighth line in the excerpt indicates that the creatures are afraid of the images of the Sumer gods, or of the temples in which most god images are kept.

VAMPIRE REGENTS
With centuries of experience behind them, they are the most cunning, intelligent, and elusive of all adversaries - testing the most skillful and practiced of monster and vampire hunters alike. These creatures are known to establish intricate and widespread networks comprised of numerous vampire minions and human thralls alike; making them nearly impossible to track down and destroy.
Vampire Regents can control the will of humans possessing lesser mental strength than theirs through a form of hypnotic control. This hypnotic control can be conveyed either verbally or telepathically from great distances. Vampire Regents need only to catch the gaze of their intended victim for a few seconds, for their mesmerism to take effect. Victims bitten by a Vampire Regent would fall under its immediate control; a helpless servant. Such thralls can either be willing or unwilling (hypnotized) servitors charged with the safekeeping of the vampire and its lair during daylight hours. Thralls may be used to procure or otherwise lure victims for their vampire-masters as well. Willing thralls are usually recruited by the promise of immortality in exchange for their unholy service.
Vampire Regents are master shape-changers, able to assume the form of a bat, rat, wolf, or mist while retaining their own intelligence. Many Vampire Regents are able to transform into a bat of human proportions as well. It is also a simple task for them to summon and control hordes of bats, rats, and wolves within a 10-mile radius.
Some Vampire Regents (such as Dracula) are able to summon fog and thunderstorms of substantial furor. Although the mystical concentration is fatiguing, Vampire Regents are normally able to summon such phenomena within a mile radius.
Although common vampires must rest during the daylight hours, Vampire Regents do not require such rest. They only need to avoid direct sunlight.
Over the centuries, Vampire Regents have developed a modicum of resistance from the effects of religious objects. The efficacy of such objects is contingent upon the strength of the wielder's belief. Only a great deal of belief can make religious objects cogent against Vampire Regents. Insufficient belief on the part of the wielder can turn the power of the object against the object itself (typically resulting in the spontaneous combustion or melting of that object).
Perhaps the most popular vampire in history was Count Dracula (Vlad "Tepesch" Dracul), the former 15th Century prince of Transylvania and Wallachia. Regardless of his actual origins, Dracula was certainly the most powerful of all vampires on record. The Count was reputedly destroyed by vampire hunters Abraham Van Helsing, Jonathan Harker, and others in the early 1890s; although his remains have yet to be discovered. In 1931, an expedition excavated his tomb and final resting-place, revealing it to be empty.

According to legend the body emitted a loud groan and a vast amount of blood. They severed the head and burned the body.In 1731 in the same area as Paole many people experience extreme exhaustion stemming from a loss of blood several died.The rumors of vampirism circulated and surgeons’ were brought in from Belgrade to inspect the bodies including a 10 year old girl named Stenko who displayed unmistakable traces of vampirism.It was said the Paole had vaporized several cows before his death and the cows had become vampires and in turn the cows victimized other beasts and the dead had eaten the tainted flesh of those animals.They exhumed all the bodies of those who had died with a few months of Paole and found that 17 of them were found to have the same conditions as Paole’s body. All the bodies were staked and burned/
