vampire
n 1: (folklore) a corpse that rises at night to drink the blood
of the living [synonym: {vampire}, {lamia}]

Vampire \Vam"pire\, n. [F. vampire (cf. It. vampiro, G. & D.

1. A blood-sucking ghost; a soul of a dead person
superstitiously believed to come from the grave and wander
about by night sucking the blood of persons asleep, thus
causing their death. This superstition was once prevalent
in parts of Eastern Europe, and was especially current in
Hungary about the year 1730. The vampire was often said to
have the ability to transform itself into the form of a
bat, as presented in the novel depicting the legend of
Dracula published by Bram Stoker in 1897, which has
inspired several movies.
[1913 Webster PJC]
