[QUOTE="Justinian, post: 54846, member: 923"] I think if you read into the factual history on most of these legends you'll find that drugs play a big role. The other option is subjugation. Without fanning too many flames. Certain religions and dictators used stories like these to make their people conform. But, you have to be willing to look past the faith and belief of religions and deal with pure fact to see this. I'm not sure about Yeti and some others.. but Vampires are derived from Vlad Tepest Dracul. The famous Romanian Prince that killed the shit out of Sulemeins armies. I've been to Romania, and these people worship this guy as an idol. And he truly was a hero. He was on the border of the Ottoman(Muslim) territories and the Christian empires of Europe. The dracula stories seem to originate from a wood carving of him having dinner with the spiked remains of tens of thousands of Ottoman Turks impaled behind him. The stories ran wild after this and then the stories changed from him having dinner to him eating the body and partaking of the blood of his victims. And also partially because of his unheard of victories over the Turks. He took armies into battle sometimes being outnumbered by odds up to 4 to 1 and devastated them. One victory he impaled over 10K Turks, another the story says he impaled 50K after the battle. Legend says if he liked you, you got the pointy end up the pooper when they impaled you.
