What causes someone to become a vampire?
A curse can do it. So can being buried in the wrong (inauspicious) spot (again a feng shui notion), dying far from home and not being returned for burial. Dying far from home means that your body did not receive proper preparation for burial and your family is unable to pay you proper homage as a deceased ancestor.
Having a family that fails in its obligation to bury you properly or pay you the proper respects as a deceased ancestor, a delayed burial or having your grave disturbed will also cause the return of the dead. Murder victims, suicides, and disappeared people were all likely to become vampires because of the violent nature of their deaths or the inability to trace the body for proper burial in the case of
disappearances.
Yin shock — a shock to the system caused by the dark and mysterious nature of yin energy — can also cause the corpse to come back as a vampire.
And this is how I spend my long breaks in college. Reading folklores.
"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
