| So here's a weird question. So vampires need an invitation to get inside of places right?
What about groceries stores? Or shopping malls? Do they need permission for public places? O.o | |

| I thought that they only needed permission to enter homes. Which, another question on the same topic, does that mean that they could enter a church with the permission of someone else? | |

| I thought it was cemeteries... Maybe my vampire lore is getting confused with another supernatural creature... | |

| If it were sacred ground (being holy, hallowed, burial, ect) vampires wouldn't be able to touch the ground xD | |

| Makes sense, but I consider the original Bram Stoker to be the bible of all Vamp adaptations. | |

| According to Wikipedia: Apotropaics, items able to ward off revenants, are common in vampire folklore. Garlic is a common example, [35] a branch of wild rose and hawthorn plant are said to harm vampires, and in Europe, sprinkling mustard seeds on the roof of a house was said to keep them away. [36] Other apotropaics include sacred items, for example a crucifix, rosary, or holy water. Vampires are said to be unable to walk on consecrated ground, such as that of churches or temples, or cross running water. [37] Although not traditionally regarded as an apotropaic, mirrors have been used to ward off vampires when placed, facing outwards, on a door (in some cultures, vampires do not have a reflection and sometimes do not cast a shadow, perhaps as a manifestation of the vampire's lack of a soul). [38] This attribute, although not universal (the Greek vrykolakas/tympanios was capable of both reflection and shadow), was used by Bram Stoker in Dracula and has remained popular with subsequent authors and filmmakers. [39] Some traditions also hold that a vampire cannot enter a house unless invited by the owner, although after the first invitation they can come and go as they please. [38] Though folkloric vampires were believed to be more active at night, they were not generally considered vulnerable to sunlight. [39]And, they can enter public places, so, yes, they can enter grocery stores | |
