THE STORY OF THE WEREWOLF
THE ORIGINAL WEREWOLVES WERE WOLVES, NOT PEOPLE. THEY WERE FROM
TRANSYLVANIA. WHEN THEY BIT PEOPLE, THEY TURNED THEM INTO WEREWOLVE
AND THE NEW WEREWOLVES COULD BITE OTHER PEOPLE AND TURN THEM INTO
WEREWOLVES. WHENEVER THE FULL MOON COMES OUT, THE WEREWOLVES SEARCH
AROUND FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO BITE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. THEY ALSO
COMMIT OTHER KINDS OF DASTARDLY ACTS, LIKE BURNING DOWN HOUSES
WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN BED. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF FROM A
WEREWOLF IS BY SHOOTING HIM WITH A SILVER BULLET.

VAMPIRES CANNOT SEE THEIR IMAGE IN A MIRROR. THEY
MUST SLEEP IN A COFFIN WITH DIRT FROM THEIR HOMELAND.
THEY ARE AFRAID OF CROSSES AND EXCITED BY BLOOD.
TO KILL A VAMPIRE YOU MUST DRIVE A WOODEN STAKE
THROUGH HIS HEART WHILE HE IS SLEEPING IN
THE COFFIN.

IF A PERSON IS BIT BY A WEREWOLF, HE WILL TAKE THE
PLACE OF THE WEREWOLF, WHO WILL DIE. THE ONLY
WAY TO KILL A WEREWOLF IS TO DRIVE A SILVER
BULLET THROUGH HIS HEART. THE SILVER BULLET MUST
BE MADE FROM A SILVER CROSS.

THE WAY IN WHICH A PERSON CAN TELL IF ANOTHER
PERSON IS A VAMPIRE IS BY HAVING THE SUSPECTED

DRIVEN INTO ITS HEART.
