Many strange phenomenon litter Bram Stoker's Dracula, as one would expect in a film about the un-dead.

Coppola pitched the idea in pre-production that objects and locations that come into contact with the titular vampire should not behave in the normal way - rats appear to cling to ceilings, liquid seeps upward from mysterious vials and Dracula's shadow appears to have a mind of its own, moving independently from Oldman.

So it's not just vampires who display supernatural abilities - everything they come into contact with is affected by their dark presence.
