Would someone kindly explain this???!
Question: For the life of me, despite being a die-hard and devoted old-school chop socky martial arts fan, I have never been able to figure out what the deal is with chinese vampires...you know, the ones dressed in traditional robes, that hop up and down before they attack, and are supposedly kept at bay and controlled by a slip of paper with chinese characters, tacked upon their foreheads...
...can someone explain to me what the deal is here, or find me a site which can explain it???

...the very unusual, exotic, ghostly and demonically supernatural creatures, which you speak of, are called 'jiang shi', and a real good explanation as to who, what and why they are, is noted below...
