Spirit Vampires: They spread like Nosferatu but seem to spring up spontaneously and are not easy be rid of. Spirit Vampires are created when a psychopathic type dies with enough willpower to stay in the mortal world. The creature forms following burial, solidifying out of psychic energy after nightfall. It looks exactly like the human who formed it, and as long as the human's body remains intact, the vampire will continue to pray on the local populace. Each victim who dies also becomes a vampire, and the contagion spreads.

The creature is responsible for maintaining the body by drinking the blood of living humans and returning with the extracted energy before morning. With the sunrise, the creature evaporates and loses the accumulated life energy. If the body fails to get enough energy for more than a week, it rapidly becomesnothing. The creature itself can be scared off inflicting damage or the oncoming dawn, but it doesn't really exist so it ca not be killed. The only way to stop a Spirit Vampire is to stake the body and then toast it. Killing the original vampire will lay all of them to rest, but killing any others just stops that one.
