WOW! I would definitely count that as an encounter. How terrified you must have been. (I would have been too). How close were to the vampire before you took off? Did he see you? I don't have any firsthand experience but I would assume if you were close enough he would have sensed you. I wonder why he did not approach you? Maybe because he already had a meal and so wasn't concerned with you? I've heard that Romania is the place to go if one is searching. Perhaps I'll get up the courage, ready my last will and testament just in case and make the trip one day....
Great addition to the thread and glad you made outta there alive!

Actually, officer in the army = University education , so outgunned, no not so much. (pun unintentional)

Maybe you should start practising what you preach, eh?

I'm not really sure, like I said, I'm still not entirely sure what I saw, could've just been a murder or something, but my friend wasn't bothered by it...so I'm very strongly leaning towards Vampire, he said "he was just feeding, it's the same as us getting a burger at McDonald's".
If it WAS a Vampire, then yes, most likely he was content with his meal and didn't feel the need to chase me down, I'm grateful for that, better some other guy than me. In my opinion, it's not worth it to track these things down unless you're going to kill them, because our whole 'ignore the creepy things' system seems to work and not have us in a human-Vampire war (yet). If you're intent on someday tracking one down...take a rocket launcher, some holy water, and a priest, cos someone's gonna have to bury you.

Army eh? I personally am not sure which branch I served in that I am more proud of, the Marines, or the Air Force. But I would never admit that I served in the army if I had made such a foolish choice!
I got my degrees after that though, but I doubt a university education is much beyond a BA level if that, eh?
Originally posted by DragonriderGalI bet if you got a vampire to be honest (and they aren't going to be with you, Kat, cuz really, how would you feel if you knew your favorite people were actually etc etc..

For "True Vampires" to exist (i.e. the ones who drink blood and only blood) the amount of blood needed to sustain the creature would lead to so much build-up of iron in the bloodstream, that a fall of 5 feet would subsequently crush the creature to a pulp... so (not to bash or anything but...) the "True Vampires" can't really exist

"True Vampires" Are not just human beings that drink blood. They do not have the same nutritional needs which a human being does, hence the "drinking blood" thing they have going, it's not a fashion statement. You're thinking of a vampire as a human... Some people just don't want to believe that vampires exist, and thats okay.
Moving on, you two have gotten yourselves into a little bit of an argument...
