Salvete omnes!
I have transcribed a small Latin dissertation with the title De hominibus post mortem sanguisugis vulgo sic dictis Vampyren (Pohl/Hertel, 1732). It deals with an incident of supposed vampirism and why it is probably not due to a real vampire. It is interesting with what kind of subject one could still get away with in the early 18th century. For comparision, Bram Stoker's Dracula was published in 1897.
I donated the text to Project Gutenberg.
Valete,
