Vampires.

In the old days, thats what the people called people who had a disease called Porphyria. It's a rare metabolic disorder caused by imbalances in the production of heme, a iron containing pigment in the blood.

Porphyria is hereditary, so this may account for concentrations in certain areas of vampire cases in folklore throughout history.

People with more severe forms of porphyria are highly sensitive to sunlight, one of the major characteristics associated with vampires.

Though there is no evidence of this, one possible treatment for porphyria in the past might have been to drink blood, to correct the heme imbalance in the body.

A further identifying characteristic that gives sufferers the association with vampires is that the gums recede and increase the amount shown of the canine teeth, giving a ‘fanged’ appearance.

It is also interesting to note that certain chemicals, such as those found in garlic can make porphyria symptoms worse by activating heme destroying enzymes in our bodies, and this can be fatal to porphyria victims.

Another medical condition, anemia, at extreme levels causes victim's skin to appear very pale as a result of the hemoglobin deficiency in the blood, yet another characteristic associated with vampires.

People with this disease had to stay away from sunlight.. so sometimes, some would hide in coffins. If they were being chased by people who thought they were dangerous "vampires", they had to hide out of there house, outside, somewhere.. So they hid in the woods but when day time came, they had to hide from the sun, so some would make a hole in the earth and hide under the ground.

So actually..Vampires were real.. however, people made up stuff like, they can live forever..they turn into bats, etc. That's how "vampires", the people who had porphyria, became a myth. Became so unreal and unbelievable that we're writing our oppinions here right now on whether Vampires are real or not.

Just as real as Christianity... btw Id love to bang a vampire

Well, people (like cannibals, I guess) could really drink blood if they wanted to. People can really be allergic to garlic. But, I mean, how can you turn into a bat?? That's 100% myth. So it's kind of like being a legend, sort of. The blood part could be real -- the bat stuff, nope.

Never trust anyone. I will not tell you my opinon but I will tell you this... find the truth. Always seach for the truth and always ask questions. I've been seach for the truth about vampires... have I found any.. no. Will I find one? maybe not.. all I know is that I have goal, I have a lust and one day soon it will be forfilled. The hunter sometimes becomes the hunted... Always seach for the truth... humans are Lies.
