[Bram Stoker's Dracula] There is a scene where Van Helsing sort of... teleports behind a gravestone, startling the main characters. Does this imply that he is a non-human being, such as Dracula and his mistresses, or does he just have magic powers?

His actor also plays the priest who watches Dracula stab the cross at the beginning of the movie. This makes me think that, while he may not be a vampire, he may still be some non-human creature.

The context of the conversation strongly suggests that he's not using teleportation, but rather astral projection (hiding behind the gravestone the entire time); he's showing off that he's studied up on what would have been contemporary trends in the fields of spiritualism and paranormal study during the Victorian era, and is therefore the man for the job of tackling a vampire.
