**************** *VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES* ******************* The most horrible superstitious beliefs of mankind center abut the vampire and closely allied form, the werewolf. The blood sucking vampire is probably the senior of the two, dateing back to ancient Grecian and Roman times. A vampire is, quoting Webster: "A blood ghost or reanimated body of a dead person; a soul or body of a dead person believed to come from the grave and wander about by night, sucking the blood of persons asleed, causing their death." Foul and repulsive as this belief may be, not one single locality exists on the earth where the vampire isn't known and feared. The Chinese "Ch'iang Shih" is almost he exact counterpart of the European vampire, and, strange as it may seem, the early Spanish explorers found similar beliefs among the Indians. Is this mere coincidence, or something more bizarre? Try for a few moments to banish your twentieth century prejudices; cast yourself back into the dimages before the birth of science; consider the facts, and perhaps you too may wonder, "Can such a thing be?" Continued next issue ****************************** *********** ATTENTION:* **************** BRAND NEW COPIES of "Tarrano the Conqueror" by Cummings & "Tales of Terror" by French 75 cents each plus postage W.E. Marconette 2120 Pershing Blvd. Dayton Ohio ************************* Let us know what you think of Scienti-Snaps! 4
