Werewolves and Vampires

It is clear that the myths of werewolves and vampires are very popular today.  But these types of beings and their stories are very ancient.  It is said that the same virus is responsible for both conditions.  One is a blood drinker and the other is a flesh and blood eater.  Both prey on humans and can infect other humans with their disorder.  To me these stories may refer to the stories of cannibals from the past.  The stories of these creatures may also refer to the story of Osiris and Set.  Osiris was the living dead god, just like a vampire and Set was a murderer who tore up Osiris' body into 13 parts, just like what a werewolf would do. Perhaps once again, there is truth in these ancient stories, but one has to decode it first.  There are also genetic disorders that cause some peole to look like a werewolf and some to have high sensitivity to the sun like a vampire.
