It was at this time that John first met Transylvanian nobleman, Count Dracula. John was also present when Mina began to exhibit symptoms of vampirism. John and Mina stayed at her father's sanitarium and John kept close vigil over Mina. The learned scholar, Professor Van Helsing, warned John about Count Dracula, positively identifying him as a vampire.
