the vampire's unholiness, or a magical physical prevention trick. This limitation is usually attributed to a measure of holiness (sanctity of a place of residence) vs. If the good but foolish virgin/elderly/child says "Do come in, what can possibly go wrong" - vamp goes in, blood comes out. They hang out in the doorway, looking all innocent and politely asking if they may come in. In a bunch of classical stories, vampires do have this limitation that prevents them from entering a decent folk's house without an express invitation. In my world there's the beginning of a vampire society, and some vampire resistance to sunlight, so I'm interested in other ways of hindering these otherwise super-powerful blood-suckers. There have been many terrific scientific explanations for some of the most interesting vampiric traits over the years, but this is one that I'm unable to find (Google, Stack Exchange). I'm looking for a scientific explanation as to why vampires would be incapable of entering a human's house uninvited.
