Vampire myth conforms to the urban legend in that it has several forms. ... With urban legends the story can be changed to fit the situation. ... The native urban legend may have been embellished by Western outsiders to show the ignorance of those who believed in it. ... Although some writers have contended that no vampire has yet been caught in the act of vampirism and that no museum of natural history has secured a specimen, the whole of the stories concerning vampires may be regarded as mythical, others have held firmly to a belief in their existence and power. ... Vampirism was also seen as a curse; punishment for the person turned into a vampire. ... The list goes on, vampirism is often used to explain the unexplainable. ...
