Ways to Kill a Vampire

Preventing a vampire from returning to his casket before sunrise by hiding or burning his casket or separating it from its "native soil" will kill him.

Data entry tech comment:

Collector stamped a home address stamp onto the card in the place of "collector data."

Original Stamp: Mrs. W.E. Givens, Jr.

They then crossed out the Prefix and first initials [Mrs. W.E.] and scrawled over the suffix [Jr.]. Indecipherable writing over suffix, but may be Rev. or Esq.

 

Motifs added by TRD

Original Boggs number [P408] is crossed out and replaced with P427.

PREVENTION AGAINST VAMPIRES

IF ONE MORNING YOU AWAKEN AND HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME BREATHING
OR HAVE A FEELING THAT SOMETHING HEAVY IS ON YOUR CHEST, THIS
MEANS THAT A VAMPIRE SAT ON YOUR CHEST OVERNIGHT.
TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, GET A BROOM
TURN IT UPRIGHT, AND LEAN THE BRISTLES AGAINST
THE DOORKNOB. THIS WILL PREVENT THE VAMPIRE FROM ENTERING

GHOST BELIEF

THE REASON FOR GHOSTS IS THAT WHEN PEOPLE DIE A VIOLENT DEATH
THEY DO
NOT KNOW THAT THEY HAVE DIED, SO THEY GO ABOUT DOING ALL THE
THINGS THEY DID WHEN ALIVE. THE ONLY WAY TO PUT THEM TO REST, IS
TO TELL A GHOST THAT IT IS DEAD.

PINCH OF THE DEAD

WHEN YOU FIND A BLACK AND BLUE MARK ON YOUR BODY AND
YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM, IT MEANS THAT SOMEONE
WHO IS CLOSE TO YOU, AND THAT DIED, AND THAT NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS
HAS COME BACK AND WANTS TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS NEED.
THEREFORE, HE PINCHES YOU AND LEAVES A BLACK AND BLUE MARK AS A
SYMBOL OR SIGN OF HIS NEED.
