Vampires and Werewolves Vampires and werewolves are two kinds of mythical creatures, which means they are monsters renowned in folklore or a myth. The word vampire was popular in the 18th century after the income of vampire the false belief in West Europe, which raised the number of people who have false belief in vampires and some had mass hysteria which made the burn corpses and some where involved in vampirism. As for werewolves, they were know in European medieval and they were introduced to the New World by colonialism. A comparison between vampires and werewolves reveals some surprise similarities and striking differences. One of the differences between these two creatures is how they were created. Vampires root contrast from culture to culture. In Slavic and Chinese stories, if an animal touched or done something to any dead body the dead body might become a vampire. Also, any body with an injury that hadn’t healed or cured would turn to a vampire. In modern Western tales, humans become vampires either after drinking a vampire’s blood or the other way around. Unlike vampires, legend proclaim that humans can turn into werewolves by taking off their clothes and putting on a belt of wolfskin, or to drink rainwater from a wolf’s footprint. In the 19th century folk tellers renewed the way to become a werewolf and the renewal idea was a werewolf’s must bite or wound a person so they can become a werewolf. For example, a werewolf should either use his claws and wound a person’s body or bites the person any place in his body in order to become werewolf. Another difference between these two mythical creatures is their strength. Speed is one of the amazing abilities vampires have. They can run hundreds of miles, which mean even a human eye can’t see them. Also, vampires are well known for their superhuman strength. They can move and lift super heavy things that even a athletic person can lift
