@ghost-of-a-duke saidI would say bull droppings to that!!! 😛
My sister has always claimed I'm a vampire.
She likes to regale of the time she came into my room, when I was on winter break from university and found me sitting in the dark with the window wide open, reading a book on moral philosophy.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI read Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' to my 11-year old grandson, he was fascinated and I was too. He needed me to go and see if there was garlic in the house.

@very-rusty saidYes, the book is very convincing. There are many tourists going to Transylvania to see Dracula's castle.
I could see a small child like an 11-year old thinking there may be Vampires!

@torunn saidFor years, as a child, I would pull the sheet covers up high at night to protect my neck from vampires.

(Apparently, I believed vampire fangs couldn't penetrate fabric).
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou never said you were a child at the time! 😉 Whole different story now! I believe that now. I remember being really young and being scared of the dark! Smart kid reading an advanced book!!!
