Are there any vampires?
Upvote:1
Strangely there is a site about this. Check out Buddhism for Vampires. Like Orion says in her comments the tantric beings Vetala could be thought of as vampires or zombies. Certainly they seems to do a lot of hanging around in burial grounds and a bit of drinking of blood. If it looks like a vampire, drinks blood like a vampire then perhaps it is a vampire.
