Vampire Survival Manuel
If your local villagers neglected to unearth and stake a suspected vampire and he or she has returned from the grave, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and others. The exact method varies around the world, but in some traditions the best way to stop a vampire is to carry with you a small bag of salt. If you are being chased, you only need to spill the salt on the ground behind you, at which point the vampire is obligated to stop and count each grain before continuing the pursuit. If you don't have salt handy, some say that small granules will do, including birdseed or sand. Salt was often placed above and around doorways for the same reason.
