Are Vampires Real?

Friday November 20, 2009
Are they really out there?
Interest in the vampire mythos is at an all-time high. The genre is more popular than ever thanks to TV's True Blood and Vampire Diaries, and especially the enormous success of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series of novels. Let's take a look at the dark, mysterious world of vampires. Are they just fiction or are there real vampires out there seeking blood or psychic energy? They may be closer than you think!

vampires? are they real or are they just some myth from way back? see what you people don’t understand is that were not vampires, if you think the word vampire connects to a certain life form or something you are wrong,very very wrong. vampires do NOT exist We were just given that name. I do not know why but speaking of the past will not change anything, i just want to say we do exist not vampires nor should you know what we go by. But i can tell you this we are not any different to you we eat,drink and sleep maybe not as much as the typical human but we do and yes we do like human or animal blood for me its human but lets not go there. so for all of you thick twisted people instead of trying to find out who we are why not try find out who you are.

Yes, they are real. There are the Human-Vampires, as I so call them. They are the ones that are Humans who need blood, also known as Sanguiarian Vampires. And Psychic Vampires are also Human-Vampires. Real Vampires live longer, though not forever, the sun hurts them, not kills them, they are attracted to garlic, not repelled, they have retractable fangs, their sense of smell is better then a Human, their hearing is not better, but they can hear a lower frequency then Humans.

Just think about this;
A ‘vamp’ might be closer than you think…
BULLIES. Those people(and you know who you are)feed off humans by hurting them and sucking their happiness out by a.fist-fighting b.emotional bullying etc etc.
And yes, there are vampires out there, even the ones that are blood drinkers. Or are u all thick enough to think that only humans and animals exist in this world?

I would like to think vampires are real. And would love to be one! And I do believe they live forever! Cause to live forever would be a curse. To have to indure everyone you love,dieing!.and having to suffer it over and over cause you sold your soul to the devil. But I would be okay with it. Really I would I would turn my hubby into one and live forever in love with my true love! I know I sound stupid but I can only dream!

dear jake scolaris, I believe you. As a human I wish I could live how you do. Ive been fascinated with the truths of what is whilst other people do not believe me. I would love to be who and what you are. Ive dreampt of being in your place since I was a little girl. While other kids were off playing, I was reading as much as possible about vampires and other things. I admire you and your life style and I would love to be you. I wish I could. Maybe one day once I find out how, for it is my dream and has been for a very long time and not because of books and movies. Im very truly fascinated and in love with the lifestyles of your kind. Sorry, Im not trying to be rude, I just dont know what else to say. Anyways thank you for making it true for me, even if I cant be what you and your kind are. <3

How dare you people say vampires are not real. Vampires may have a different life style, but we are just as if not more smart then humans. We may not live forever, but facts prove we live longer then any human out there. Jake is right we can do all the things humans can, but trust me when i say vampires are no joking matter. we hate to be hurt as well as any human. i perfer human blood as well but to most thats highly sick…each to his own. since i was little i wondered what i was why i loved the taste for blood i denied the fact when i came to know what i really was and still fight the feeling of thirst as much as i can and i want to thank jake he has a clear mind and i respect a vampire with a clear mind
