NOTE

Origins of Vampires and Werewolves Rooted in Biblical Demonic Entities

The origins of vampires, werewolves, and other folkloric monsters can be traced back to demons from the pre-flood world as described in the book of Enoch. Linguistically, demons from the Old and New Testament were the disembodied spirits of violent Nephilim giants who consumed resources, killed people, and drank blood before the flood. These demons lost their physical form but retained their violent and wicked nature, adapting to exploit different cultural niches after the flood. Therefore, variations of vampires and other creatures can be found in cultures worldwide, reflecting the enduring influence of these malevolent entities.
