A vampire slaying kit which belonged to a 19th century lord who kept guns, crucifixes, holy water and a wooden stake in case of an attack, is going under the hammer after being found in Nottinghamshire. The creepy wooden box of anti-vampire weapons was owned by Lord Hailey, a British peer and former administrator of British India.
The tools and holy objects are stamped with his initials and it contains his full name and address. The lockable box features two brass crucifixes on the lid which act as a sliding secret locking device.
Inside are more crucifixes, a matching pair of pistols, brass powder flask, holy water, Gothic Bible, wooden mallet, stake, brass candlesticks, rosary beads and Metropolitan police paperwork from the period. It is set to fetch between £2,000 and £3,000 when it is sold at Hansons Auctioneers.,
