The victims turn anemic and listless. Vampires are caught by disinterring recently buried bodies and looking for a series of specific signs that are supposed to indicate vampirism. Then, of course, the vampire is staked. In actuality, these signs are typical of the normal processes of decomposition. Ultimately, this is a European version of secondary burial.
Most people are dead they die, some become vampires and have to be buried a second time.
