Vampires, Real?, or Myth?

This may sound hard to believe boys and girls but demons and vampires live among us. And I don not talk about vampire wannabes... I'm talking about the real vampires that rule the night along with others. Be wise about your hunting... remember... The greatest trick the Devil did was to make human believe he did not exist...

  • Myth

    There are people who drink blood but the classic ‘vampire’ is a myth. Archetypes are created because the human imagination is only so good. People put together images of things they have seen in different combinations that aren’t real. So, basically it’s just because the human mind is limited somewhat in imagination. Most fairytales also have equivalents, as do other mythological creatures.

  • Possible

    I think the theory of Vampires is just as believable as any religion. In fact it ties in with religion, althought im agnostic, i do beleive in the possibility of vampires

  • Yum

    i think vampires are sexy.

    but seriously, most myths are based on a little truth, there are people who like blood or are sensitive to light or garlic. but the immortal thing, no.

  • of course

    every myth has basis upon it, i’m sure there were cases a long time ago of people being drained of blood with two bite marks on their neck or leg or somewhere on them that were teeth apart and they started thinking about people doing it and they arrested someone who admitted to it and that started vampires, there is a disease that is like that you know, it makes you like a vampire and you have to drink someones blood…just thought you would like to know that!

  • Sure

    People who drink blood, feed off energy, etc. I don’t think they’re vampires in the sense that vampires are known, but if they believe that they are then for all intensive purposes, they are. It’s a belief like anything else. My personal take on the whole thing is that if someone wants to walk around and call themselves a vampire, then fine. Good on them. I really don’t care. Just don’t come biting my neck haha.

  • Depends on the definition of the word "Vampire"...

    There are several kinds of vampires, most of them described above: psychic vampires, sanguinists, vampirists, people with a medical condition.

    However, if you define “vampire” as an undead creature that has risen from the grave and has come to slaughter people in the night… I don’t know. There have been some spottings when it comes to grave breakouts, but no one has any concrete proof that this is the actual truth. There are no Spikes, Angels and Buffys, that’s for sure.

  • Yes and no

    Yes there are “vampires” that drink animal blood such as cow blood …but true vampires that drink the blood of a human being….no. I know a few people that drink blood and consider themselves vampires…the vampires that many of us have come to know though(the ones that feed off humans) are, what i believe, non-existent.

  • The Real Vampire

    There are real Vampires. Not the fanged, mortal enemy of the sun kind we read about in books and folk lore. There is a disease, I can’t remember what it is called, but it causes lacerations on the face. The only way to keep the infected person looking normal is to drink human blood; there is some vitamin or something in our blood that helps them. If they don’t drink human blood they look like full fledged monsters. So, yes, there are real vampires. JOY

  • Disease-related Vampirism

    I can’t say yes or no to vampires existing, but I’ve heard of several diseases that account for much of ‘vampiric’ bahvior. I don’t know the names of these disease, though.

    One such illness causes the person’s skin to be ghostly pale, something vampires are said to have.

    Another causes the person’s ‘waking schedule’ to switch, making them be more active at night and less so in the day.

    One disease makes it so the person does not have enough hemoglobyn(sp) in their blood. Supposedly, these aflicted people would drink the blood of others to get the necessary hemoglobyn, but I’m not sure if that reaction is true.

  • Uhm... Strict definition... Well...

    Porphoria, as well as heightened anemia, and others have been the blame-child of this Stokeresque and now Rice-esque fantasy-child. The fantasy/reality is up to everyone just as a system of belief is. There are various mythos the world over that could account for the ‘legend’ whether in traditional form or with an artist’s bias. It’s time to find a new obsession… if there are vampires, they are tired… oh so tired … of the fact that they are now the ‘popular’ monster of the last 200 years. I have to admit though, the Windigo would have to be my favorite interpretation/myth.

  • Kinda sorta

    Yeah, there are people that drink blood…and yes…some drink the blood of people. But I think the truth is that the legendary “garlic hating, daylight fearing” vampires are mostly myth. Sure, they’re based on some truth…like every legend is…but it’s just a tall-tale.

  • It's a medical condition

    Vampirism is a medical condition. There are myths and stories about this, but to my knowledge, they aren’t real.

  • hmmmm

    Truth is I love vampires, I have all the ‘scrolls’ I could get my hands on, the actual thought of it is great. BUT I do believe it is all myth. yes there are cutls out there that mimic vampires, or how it’s originally spelled ‘vampyres’, but I don’t think they exist. What is fascinating, is that this mythological creature has everything to make it real. It’s own religion, history and language. I know I might sound a bit insane, but I think it’s fascinating
