What the root cause of this surge was is still unknown. All that is known is that a state of mass hysteria took over the psyches of europeans.<\/p>\n<p>Vampire sightings increased exponentially as the 18th century ticked on. Government officials took it upon themselves to quench the public&#8217;s thirst for vampire blood by holding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-grisly-facts-about-the-guillotine\/\">public executions<\/a> of suspected bloodsuckers. Graves were uprooted and spikes were driven through the hearts of the recently deceased.<\/p>\n<p>While the majority of this paranoia centered around eastern Europe, the vampire frenzy still seeped out to other European countries.

Much of the horror was fueled by theology. Many Catholics believed that the vampires were a product of demons, and were able to command the will of both the living and dead.<\/p>\n<p>In 1751, Dom Augustine Calmet, a French scholar and theologist, published his findings on vampires. His book, entitled <i>Trait\u00e9 sur les apparitions des esprits et sur les vampires\u00a0<\/i>or\u00a0<em><i>Treatise on the Apparitions of Spirits and on Vampires,<\/i><\/em> delved into the claims of vampires and investigated the existence of such creatures.<\/p>\n<p>Dom Augustine Calmet conducted extensive research pertaining to the ancient mythology and current incidents. His findings ultimately led him to believe that vampires do indeed exist, claiming that &#8220;one can hardly refuse to credit the belief which is held in those countries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These findings would ultimately prove to add fuel to the fire,\u00a0 giving the public even more reason to believe in vampires. They were, however, still not universally accepted in France.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/5-facts-you-should-know-about-voltaire\/\">Voltaire<\/a>, and admirer of Dom Augustine Calmet&#8217;s work, expressed concern over his findings, sarcastically claiming that the real bloodsuckers of France were the wealthy businessmen.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"firstHeading\" class=\"firstHeading\">Gilles de Rais<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_16893\" style=\"width: 428px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16893\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gillesderais1835-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"418\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gillesderais1835-1.jpg 418w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gillesderais1835-1-195x300.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16893\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gilles de Rais &#8211; Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Gilles de Rais was a French knight who would later become the legend of the first French vampire. His years of torment took place in the 15th century and only after, when vampire craze was at its highest, would he be given the title of &#8216;vampire.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Gilles de Rais fought along side Joan of Arc and led an outstanding military career. It was only after the cries of war had grown quiet that Rais would begin his descent into vampirism.<\/p>\n<p>In 1438, Rais sought for a demon summoner who specialized in alchemy. Rais found a man named Prelati who promised to work with him in the demon manifestation. After three attempts without success, Prelati advised Rais to seek the blood of children in order to appease the demon.<\/p>\n<p>Rais threw himself into his task wholeheartedly. Between the years 1432 and 1440 Rais killed a large amount (the exact number is unknown) of young boys in the name of the demon, Barron.<\/p>\n<p>He was eventually found and condemned to death. He was hanged and then his body was burnt. Thus the first vampire in France was born.<\/p>\n<h4>Mori\u00e8ve<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_16890\" style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16890\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wiertz_burial.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wiertz_burial.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wiertz_burial-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wiertz_burial-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wiertz_burial-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wiertz_burial-816x558.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16890\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Undead burial &#8211; Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Mori\u00e8ve was a French noblemen who fought during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris-of-the-revolution\/\">French revolution<\/a>.

In order to get even with the working class, Mori\u00e8ve would send letters to individuals and, upon their meeting, would cut off their heads.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, he was assassinated by a member of the lower class and was laid to rest. Days had not passed before the first tragedy struck France. In the neighborhood where Mori\u00e8ve was buried, young boys began to die. There was no trace of the murderer or the weapon except for the two teeth-like marks on the side of the neck.<\/p>\n<p>This continued for 72 years until Mari\u00e8ve&#8217;s grandson decided to investigate. He found the coffin of his grandfather and was amazed to find it in perfect condition. Upon opening it, he saw his grandfather without a mark of time on his face.<\/p>\n<p>A white thorn was thrust into the heart of Mori\u00e8ve and red blood gushed out.
