People have feared the undead ever since the 11th century, as told in Smithsonian Magazine, while vampire myths date back to the late 17th and 18th centuries.
The outlet writes, “A disturbing myth took hold across Eastern Europe: Some people who died would claw their way out of the grave as blood-sucking monsters that terrorized the living.
