20 Unbelievable Facts Every Ginger Person Should Know

10. Ancient Greeks Thought Redheads Were Vampires

Ginger Vampire On an episode of South Park, Cartman stirs up fear about gingers by comparing them to vampires; after all, there are aesthetic similarities, including extremely pale skin, aversion to sunlight, and the colour red being associated with blood. However, this myth was not created by Cartman, but was an actual legitimate fear held by the Ancient Greeks. Yes, the same people that invented democracy and philosophy also held the belief that, when redheads died, they turned into vampires. The entire notion is ridiculous, yet still sounds better than anything seen in Twilight.
