Facts

If there is in this world a well-attested account, it is that of the vampires.
Nothing is lacking: official reports, affadavits of well-known people,
of surgeons, of priests, of magistrates; the judicial proof is most complete.
And with all that,
Who is there who believes in vampires?

~Rousseau
