| | Cade's Vampyre Lair 3 |
 | | Vampyres, along with witches, were believed to be most active on the Eve of St George's Day on April 22, the night when all forms of evil were supposed to be abroad. |
 | | This vampyre was believed to return and do malicious things and/or suck the blood of a person - usually a relative who had caused their death, or not properly observed the burial ceremonies, or who kept the deceased's possessions instead of destroying them. |
 | | Belief in the vampyre's actual physical existence was probably encouraged by the prevalent practice of premature burial during times of plague, by the large numbers of poor, homeless and beggars that abound at such times, and by the fact that many of them took refuge in vaults and graveyards. |
