How did 18th-century vampire hunters identify the undead? 


00:09①Antoine Augustin Calmet, the 18th-century distinguished biblical scholar, carefully collected and examined numerous reports of vampire attacks that were emerging from eastern Europe in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. 


00:31②The incorruptibility of a corpse was thought to be evidence that a dead person was a vampire. 


00:39③Accounts in Calmet’s Dissertation also noted that vampires’ hair and fingernails continued to lengthen even after death. 


00:52④Bloodstains on an unearthed corpse was also a sign that someone had become a vampire. 


01:00⑤Allegedly, when the stake penetrated the body, the vampire would let out a cry, further proof that the vampire had been alive. 


01:11⑥Calmet’s collection of vampire stories fed the imagination and inspired the imaginations of several 19th-century authors who all helped pioneer the vampire story as a popular literary genre.
