The surge of "vampiromania" that began with the release of the movie saga "Twilight" has not subsided to this day. Young people enthusiastically increase their "fangs", and those who are older decorate their interior with thematic items. For example, a mummified vampire heart, which was sold on the eve of the eBay online auction.
As stated in the description of the lot, the organ belonged to a certain Auguste Delagrange, who was killed in April 1912. According to the announcement, the victims of the vampire were at least forty people - the attacks of Delagrange have been called "one of the largest outbreaks of vampirism in the United States." The owner of the lot reported that the vampire was killed (a stake was stuck in his heart) on the outskirts of a small town in Louisiana.
The dried vampire heart is packed in a small wooden box and is accompanied by a description of the atrocities and circumstances of the death of the evil spirits. The stake itself is also attached to the pierced heart. As a result, the unusual lot was sold for $ 320.10.
We remind you that today, thanks to the writer Stephenie Meyer and Hollywood directors, the image of the vampire has not only been ennobled, but also acquired a certain aura of romance.
Thousands of young women dream of being in the place of the main character of the movie "Twilight" nowadays, and actor Robert Pattinson, who plays the main role, confidently takes leading positions in various ratings of the sexiest guys. As stated by experts, at the end of last year, "vampire mania" spread more rapidly than the "swine flu" epidemic.
Some scholars are alarmed that the books and films of the vampire saga are instilling unhealthy social patterns. For example, psychologist Valeria Gibson (Ontario) believes that the painful craving for vampires is explained by the spiritual emptiness and down-to-earthness of relationships between men and women in real life.
