By 1755, next to the witchhunts and witch trials, there were a lot of vampire hunt cases as well.

Maria Theresa, the Empress, stopped these cases. 

How are vampires and witches connected?

In Africa, Obayifo was a witch who was also a vampire. More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obayifo

 

In Italy, there were also witches, who were vampires as well; they were called la strega. It is a kind of witch who shows similar traits to vampires and could transform into animals. This witch also attacks children in the night and sucks their blood.
