Information On Transylvania

What methods were initially used to count the time someone was a vampire?

There are no vampires Twilight methods PLEASE! I am a writer and am currently working on a story about a noble vampire from Transylvania in 1500. I tried to get information online, but most places only to outdated stereotypes of Hollywood and descriptions Twilight, I love some of the historical methods to detect whether a person was a vampire. Thank you.

Well, at first, vampires were regarded as demons from hell (just the same in all cases), by whom, because of their nature and their defiance of God, would not be able to pronounce the name of God or a Bible verse (if they tried, her throat burned). I We do not need to move forward, but the best known are the attributes of vampires in Stoker's work in 1800. Pre – hunting 19th century, vampires (among heretical at all) by often led to concepts of worshiping Satan serious (as in the Salem witch trials). I wish you luck in your attempt. More people need to write stories real account that the literature for the sub-genre.
