What are the real origins of vampires — and what if they were never just a myth?

Long before Dracula. Long before Hollywood. Entire villages across Europe believed the undead were real. They dug up bodies. They drove stakes through hearts. And governments documented it all as if it were a genuine threat.

This documentary explores the bloodsoaked origins of vampire mythology — from ancient folklore and the vampire panics of Eastern Europe, to Vlad the Impaler, Bram Stoker, and the modern vampire communities that still exist today.

Some questions this video raises… may not have a comfortable answer.
