History

Vampirism has been reported across Eastern and Central Europe since the Dark Ages; the first instance in the British Isles was reported during the nineteenth century. More recently, many isolated cases have been recorded in the Americas, with some accounts of serious infestation.

No cases have been reported in the Southern Hemisphere.
