The 19th-century vampire killing kit will be auctioned in North Yorkshire, UK. A set of items that help kill a vampire is expected to go under the hammer for £2,000.
What do 19th century vampire hunters think could help kill bloodsuckers? After paying a lot of money, the future owner of the kit will own a box containing a crucifix, a gun, a hammer and other items.
The gun is probably loaded with silver bullets, as everyone knows that only a silver bullet can kill a vampire on the spot. The set also includes wooden stakes. Unfortunately, it is not reported what kind of wood the stakes are made of, but it is logical to assume that the stakes are aspen, as there is another reliable way to kill a vampire: you need to stick it in his heart aspen stake
In addition, the set includes two glass bottles of holy water and a lump of holy land: vampires are evil spirits, so they cannot tolerate anything sacred. You can also find garlic mass in the set. Garlic, although it doesn't kill, is very scary for vampires. You can also find a prayer book and a handwritten passage from the Gospel of Luke in the box.
At the moment, the set belongs to a Yorkshire resident who chose not to reveal her name. The woman inherited a set of weapons against vampires from her uncle.
Experts suggest that the set was made at the end of the 19th century, and it is possible that the person who assembled this set was inspired by Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, which at the end of the 19th century was very popular.
“I think this is a tribute to fashion and a game on the prejudices that were common to people of the time,” says Oonagh Drage, who is a representative of the Tennants Auctioneers auction house in Yorkshire Leyburn. “I've never seen anything like it.”
If you want to start hunting vampires and become the owner of a unique set of weapons for killing evil bloodsuckers, then you should know that the auction will take place on June 22. Before that date, you will have to save a fair amount of money. £2,000 is a very substantial amount of money. However, who knows, what if you are “lucky” to meet a vampire and fight him back with dignity? However, if you don't have enough money, you can make such a set yourself and then you're not afraid of any vampires!
