They say you learn something new every day, but sometimes that turns out to be something silly like the legends about vampire pumpkins. (Thanks to discworld)
"Vampire farm implements" makes sense, though, in a way. The modern equivalent is being afraid the in-sink-erator is going to gobble your hand if you stick it in there. Sometimes inexplicable accidents happen with farm implements.
Seriously. Farm implements are dangerous. (Squash... are not.)
So are knives and other kitchen things, too, although the knife legend is the only one that even comes close, and I've never heard it called "vampirism."
