Vampires are real: David Ono journeys to Serbia to find real story:-
On this Halloween, let's talk about Hollywood's favorite monster: vampires. Where did vampires come from?
The legend didn't come from Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" like so many people believe. Stoker wrote "Dracula" in London, but he never even visited Romania. If he had, he'd discover that vampires have no foundation in that county's culture.
The vampire legend actually came from the country on the other side of the Danube River -- Serbia.
The first recorded vampire is buried in a secluded cemetery just outside a village called Kisiljevo. In an overgrown corner of the cemetery, there are a dozen gravestones with no writing. Few people know about them.
Under one of them is a man named Petar Blagojevic. In 1725, it was written he would rise from the grave and hunt villagers. I actually tracked down the five times great grandson of Blagojevic and talked to him about being a descendent of the first vampire.
"They never talked about Petar," he said, adding that being descendents of the first reputed vampire was simply not discussed.
