Hello my freind. so you want to know about vampires eh? Well i will tell you as much as i can. my coven does not like it when i reveal to much information to the human public. we like are secrecy.

First of all the original spelling is VAMPYRE with a Y.
Two: vampyres originate back in the 15th century england.
three: for a good look at "mostly" true facts about vampyres, read stephanie meyers trilogy. she has alot of good facs. my coven is wondering if she knows to much. but she is ok. we like her books (lol)

so if you want to know more simply post a reply. i will be glad to help you.

Atually there are vampire myths in almost every culture. I think the oldest is actually an ancient chinese myth. Quite a bit older than 15th century England.

I’m guessing Vampires are either aliens or just mythical creations, made up stories etc…

I remember reading once in an old, now out of print magazine about the Paranormal (in the UK) about the Sean Manchester case and within the page was a picture that Sean or the other guy who's name escapes me right at the moment had taken during the stakeout. This picture like the one of the ghost monk in the church (another famous photo, of a ghost this time tho, most people have probably seen it, its the one with a weird mask by an altar) SCARED THE * out of me. I rarely feel unpleasant from photos, except of sharks since they're my pet fear, but those two photos I cannot look at to this day.

It was of an extremely tall man, exactly as Manchester described in older Victorian dress peering around a grave, and it just looked menacing and unworldly, it almost seeped evil. I don't know if it was merely a mockup photo, but it was supposedly taken by Manchester (who I asked for a copy many years ago and he said he no longer discusses the case in general and wont generally give out copies, but I could maybe get a copy of the book but he couldn't remember if it was in it or not, hence I dind't bother).

Croglyn Grange (I think thats how its spelt) was another good UK one. There are some cracking UK ones, but for most, you need to go back to the older European cities where they have a bigger mythos and historical/cultural importance.

Did you know Vlad the Impaler is related by BLOOD to Prince William? Interesting to know and the Queen always looks a bit peaky to me...

When you mention vampire, my mind immediately goes back to the mid sixties and the soap opera, Dark Shadows and Barnabas Collins. He was a pretty scary guy for a lil'child like me who was glued to the tube when I could watch it.

There are indeed "real" vampires, however they're not all vicious blood suckers.
The bloodline of Cain lost power with each new generation, so those left today would be like 1/40th the power Cain was, with a very small bloodlust, to the point it would be more of a fetish.
