Bats and Vampires
Bats are currently very popular in Vampire legend and culture, but this was not always the case. There are many myths about bats themselves, most likely because they come out and hunt at night, and some of them do feast on the blood of livestock. This puts them alongside Vampires in feeding habits, so it isn't very difficult to see how the two became intertwined. Stoker was the one that eventually cemented the link between bats and Vampires in the mind of the general population.
