One of the neighborhood kids claimed he was a vampire. He had pale skin, pale hair, and a big ugly scar under his eye. He was also bigger than me so it took verly little imagination for me to believe him. When I was about 7 I remember him biting me because I didn't give back his basketball then worrying all night because I thought I was a vampire too.
