1289. CONCERNING A CERTAIN VAMPIRE As it was related by spirits, a certain person when he was dying was said to have been thinking about vampires, and was then excited with the insane lust, that if he died he would act likewise, and in this way would be raised again from the life [of the body]. He was with me and endeavored to do this where the larger veins flow down near the neck and dorsal spine, but because no evil can happen to me the effort was in vain. This was said to have happened, because in the hour of his death he thought of such a suction, and this thought returned to him when he knew he was with a man living in the body. 1748, Mar. 10.
