One of historys most deadliest monsters and one of my personal favorites :) It is well know that one of the strangest myths about vampires is the fact that garlic is supposed to repel the monster. I mean what an odd thing to do. Does this mean that garlic breath, or garlic pizza has the same effect? And where does this myth originate it from? Well from my research I couldnt find much on why it is people belive this. All I could pull up was the vampires have sensitive noses, which would make sense considering they hunt out humans and pick up thier scent. So it is believed that vampires dont like smelly things such as garlic but it wouldnt be a good idea to use it on the most experinced vampires.
Vampires sleep in coffins in the movies, which makes sense considering they are dead. However when I looked at this site it indicated that vampires do this becase they sleep where they feel safe from the people who are trying to hunt them. This myth came around came from graverobbers who think they saw people emerge from a coffin.
The site also has some other interesting myths on vampires such as why vampires are not vissible in mirrors, crosses repel them, and the ever so popular myth that vampires burst into flame when in contact with the sun.
