NATCHEZ, MISSISSIPPI: A complete and authentic vampire killing kit–made around 1800 and complete with stakes, mirrors, a gun with silver bullets, crosses, a Bible, holy water, candles and even garlic, all housed in a American walnut case with a carved cross on top–attained $14,850 in the Jimmy Pippen estate sale by Stevens October 3-4 in the new Natchez Convention Center.
