Send us Fan MailHere we go into the strange world of the Vampire epidemic in Europe, which was masterfully dealt with by the declared enlightenment Dutch physician, Gerard Van Swieten. If there was actually a vampire epidemic in Europe during the 1700s, remains to be seen, but evidence would point to families killing dead relatives again, to prevent them from becoming vampires...yeah, that happened. The 1700s were a great time for advancements in science and the clash of folklore, dogma, and the belief in the undead. Insert a man with a tree named after him, and everything will be better, you go Gerard!!! The inspiration behind Abraham Van Helsing the famed vampire hunter from Bram Stoker's Dracula.
