Literally? No. I think it's pretty obvious that they're not. They're in the same vicinity of werewolves, zombies, Jersey Devil, evil seamonsters, demons, Slenderman, etc.
But metaphorically? Yes.

It is called the federal government.  Apparently they plan to suck the blood out of all of us until there is nothing left.

Think about it......if there were true vampires, the Federal Government would consider them freaks and lock them up. There is no way there are vampires today. Although, I do believe that there were vampires during the period of 1600's to early 1900's. One of my high school teachers even believe it. I do believe there was a Dracula, or could still be....the only one vampire to have actually existed.

There was a real life "Dracula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_III_the_Impaler)."  The story of Dracula was loosely based on a real person, Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia aka Vlad the Impaler, or simply as Dracula.

Just as the legend of Santa Claus is loosely based on a real life person Saint Nicholas.  Stories have been retold and things added to over the years that it morphed into these myths.

I once saw a show called beyond belief and one of their stories based on fact suggested that they are real.  :dontknow:

I have not found any proof of real  vampires, but here is a thought. The Red Cross collects an enourmous amount of bood every year. WAY MORE than they use or need. Where  exactly does this extra blood go? Is there a conspiracy with vampires paying for this extra blood? Hmmmmmmmmmmm...............?

No but there are a group of people who believe they are and they even drink blood and get their teeth altered... it's crazy. I saw a documentary about it once.

There are actually people that suffer from vampirism. It is a condition or disease. It is also a way of life, some people believe in energy vampirism or something like that. It interesting but eh.

There are some people who do drink blood, but I don't think they are true vampires.  I do believe there are psychic vampires though.  I have been around many people who can just emotionally drain you just by being in their presence.

The mythical creature doesn't exist, but I heard on a program a while ago about people in the "Dark Ages" drinking blood because there was a serious iron deficiency in Europe at one time. Sooooo, yes and no.

Post by: Tinachelune on October 01, 2011, 02:54:48 pm
I believe that there are people that "drink blood" for whatever reasons they want but I don't believe they have fangs, fly around or any other nonsense like that.  I believe people drank animal blood (back in the ages) for sacrfice or religious reasons.  Maybe, that's where the myth of vampires came from.

I don't believe in vampires of the fantasy sort.  I have, though, recently talked with a friend of mine about people that seem to weaken/drain your energy to be around.  I am not speaking of the typical whinny or depressing moody people that affect your conscious will.  I am speaking of seemingly cheerful and normal people that seem to emit/exert a fatiguing or weakening effect upon others.  I suppose it could be something that I am not noticing that is perfectly explainable such as posture/body presentation or even something pheromone or sound based.  I haven't been able to isolate such things though and lack the tech to do it even if it is such. 

I do know there are certain things you can do that are not obvious but that exert pressure on other people.  One example can be used by one man against another (possibly females to but I haven't ever tried it).  This simple example is just an encroachment on another's personal space.  For a man you can simply cross that invisible divider all men place compared to another man in any given situation.  The easiest example is if you are eating at a table across from another man and you slowly and subtly move some of your dinnerware/utensils/etc to beyond halfway of the middle of the table.  Even though this doesn't directly interfere with the other it will exert psychological pressure upon him that will usually invoke an anger response but it can be very mild and even unnoticed by the other.  It will almost certainly increase his stress and likely affect his energy.  Anyways that is just one of the silly things I picked up on in life that I find useful from time to time.

I've also encountered the concept of so-called "psychic vampires".  Whether or not such people are 'feeding off of others' without fangs intentionally or not, it isn't precisely clear that it's a 'negative empathy' sort of thing or something else entirely.

"Throughout recorded history and probably back beyond that, the idea of the psychic vampire has haunted mankind’s dreams. Strange mystical, mythical creatures who lurked in the darker recesses of the human mind, these beings were thought to sap the energy of living mortals, reducing them, unless stopped, to shadows of their former selves. People who, for no apparent reason, became continuously tired, listless and lethargic were often thought to have been visited by vampires or evil spirits." -- By Dr van Neümig   http://whitedragon.org.uk/articles/vampyres.htm

There are sanguinarians in the world (people that drink blood). There are people that "suck the life out of you" (everyone's met at least one. lol!)
Say hello to vampires.
Then there's people like me who hate Twilight and True Blood, but still obsess over the more classical vampire culture, *ahem* Bela Lugosi. v--v
Please focus you're attention to my neck... (Yeah, that's me.)

They're micro-dermal implants.
That small modification (along with my photo-sensitivity) leads the overly religious elderly women in my neighborhood to believe vampires are real.

If it isn't too personal to ask; are those micro-dermal implants cosmetic, a feeding station for sanguinarians or, something else altogether?

They're purely cosmetic. I wanted to give the aesthetic of a vampire bite, but I felt that a tattoo was too cliche.

I see.  Please don't take this as derisive; from what I understand, the vampiric aesthetic is said to be more subtle than cosmetic.  However, there are shades of subtle and more than I'm aware of in matters wampyre.

I don't personally practice the ideals of the Embraced so I don't follow the Black Veil's principles of discretion and the like because I'm not one of them, so I have nothing to hide. I just always loved vampires and had friends with the vampire bite tattoo so I felt I would shoot for something more unique.

The veiled references could leave you up to your neck in enough speculations to make one's blood boil however, these puns are not intended in anything other than mild humor.  Nor am I impaling your aesthetic on a whimsical stake here, just because you have nothing to hide.  No doubt a more indepth conversation would be possible elsewhere.  In any case; Xeper, Xepera, Xeperu.

I am sure there are supernatural things out there but unsure if vampires and the likes are part of all that. It wouldnt surprise me but it would be very hard to ever prove true.
