Vampires
| Description: |
William R. Emery shared a belief held by gypsies, that it was important to protect themselves from vampires. To this end, they would do their best to do protection to prevent vampires from entering their homes, but would also keep mirrors in every room so that they could recognize a vampire who had made it through. |
