Hansons Auctioneers reports that a kit specifically for hunting and ending the lives of vampires, originally owned by a British aristocrat triggered a global bidding battle before it was sold for six times its estimated price.


According to a press statement from Hansons Auctioneers, the late 19th-century box equipment once belonged to Lord William Malcolm Hailey (1872-1969), a British nobleman and former administrator of British India. The kit was eventually sold on Thursday for £13,000 (RM69,465.54).

Charles Hanson, the proprietor of the auction house, said: "Whether through fear or fascination, it's interesting to know a member of the highest aristocratic social order, a man with a place in the House of Lords, acquired this artefact." It serves as a reminder that people from all areas of life are impacted by the vampire myth, which clearly dates back hundreds or perhaps even thousand years ago. 


What's in the kit?
