Do you thunk they exist?
Yes. I met one once.
This was a few years after high school. I was leaving a Denny's when someone called my name in a friendly "hey" sort of way. I looked at him...didn't recognzie him at all, but figured he probably knew me from school, so I went over and said hello. He had a large, silent, harmless-dumb looking friend with him. I ended up sitting down and we started to talk.
We chatted about nothing in particular, but in short order he came to be the one doing all of the talking. I found myself becoming sleepy. Very sleepy. I remember struggling to keep my head upright and my eyes open...and for a while thinking it was because he was so completely boring, and that I was just listening, trying to be polite. This was followed by sort of a timeless period of half consciousness until eventually he stopped talking for a moment and asked me if I was ok.
In an instant I popped back awake and looked at him. I don't remember exactly what I said at that point, but his response was to frown at himself and say something along the lines of "yeah, this kind of thing happens a lot. Part of why I think I might be an energy vampire."
There followed some discussion about him, and his friend...who at that point I identified as a metaphorical "wolf that follows the vampire" and before long we parted ways.
Never saw him again.
do you think they could be dangerous?
Anyone can be dangerous. Maybe there are vampires in the world, but so too far there completely normal humans who take pleasure in killing. Who is more dangerous, the energy vampire looking for lunch, or the psychopath with an axe and a dayjob?
