There are perhaps three posts on this entire thread worth reading, if one is searching for an actual Vampire.
I spent the greater part of my life under the belief that such a creature was nothing more than the result of centuries of fear and superstition; I have not believed in the Christian God for a very long time now, and could never believe that such a powerful creature would bend beneath petty incantations or symbols. I was right about some things.
Other parts of the legend are stranger than my mind would have believed, though. To think that vampirism is a willful act, that it is to be of an alien nature, never truly crossed my mind. I was once a fool, blinded by humanity's vivid imagination and by volumes of inaccurate books; I act on knowledge to-day, lest presumption and emotion sway my hand.
So many common thoughts of these creatures are wrong; few who have lived through a hostile encounter with a Vampire labor under the delusion that a stake will protect anything. But far too many fools live in this "modern" society for the Vampire to be exposed.

hello i am recentally a new member. let me characterize my beliefs. i believe in vampires and am open to all legends of things going bump in the night. something disturbes me. it barly has any meaning. my best friend... who has been my friend since i took my first breath in this world, told me that I am spooky... what does this mean? some one please talk to me?

I don't know if this was a vampire or not, but it fits the "weirdness" scale... k it was this summer, and i was out looking for my cat. it was 11ish and i saw some people walking up the street, a guy and a lady, with his arms around her shoulder. I live in a small town in Maine, so theres no cars around this time of night. but it was a straight stretch of road. i could hear the girl laughing, like the guy said something funny or something idk, but i just continued looking for my cat. now the last part is hard to explain. ever since i was a kid i've been "more intune" then others. in my house i hear people call my name all the time, when noones hear, and all the electronics in my room will spaz out untill i say "that's enough". and my friends think im pysicic because i know what most people are thinking, or if im on the phone with them, i can tell what they're wearing. hell i told a guy who lives in arizona what he was wearing on a game once. and a lot of weird stuff has happend to me in my past. but back to my "encounter", i was looking for my cat and i "heard" the girl scream help me. now heard is in quotations because, well it's impossible to explain, it's like i hear them in the "inside" of my ear, but i can still tell the difference between "hearing" and hearing. anyway after i "heard" her "say" that i acctually heard her scream. i turned arround and they were gone. now i could see down both sides of the road and there were no cars so if anyone can tell me if this matches the "vampire encounter" discription, plz tell me

I believe vampires do exists, there are just so many things which are happening to the world that we can't explain or most of the time we can't explain it because we keep denying it to ourselves that it is possible. Until we accept that these are possibilities then we won't really move. All these legends don't just spring out of nowhere, it must have come from a source and that people tend to put a little more than what it really is. Vampires for example have been tagged with so many stories that so ludicrous that most people (the ones who really want to know them) don't know what to believe anymore. Let's just try to keep an open mind to these possibilities. Or maybe ask yourselves the question, "Are humans the last stage of everything?". Do we really think that we are the last stop at the top of the pyramid and nothing more than animals below us? Well, its just an opinion and some thought....

Hi Raina. I'm quite interested in vampires! I have always wanted to know as much about them as possible. My sister and I do believe they exist. If they didn't...the legends and myths we have now-a-days would not exist. Legends and myths come from things that have happened-the things that have been, but have become forgotten. I actually have a lot of questions for you! The first one is, you said that you have fought hunters for thousands of years. Does this mean you are immortal? #2) Can you turn someone into a vampire with your bite? #3) I went on this website that gave a very interesting rundown of a vampire and their psychological, physiological, physical, dentition and other things. What I was interested in was, do you have fangs? And, if so, do your fangs have a hypodermic function? Like do the vampires that actually draw blood from humans through biting employ enzymes for like clotting agents to reverse anticoagulant so that the human will not die?
I don't mean any offense or anything. I just read this interesting information of the website and wished there was a vampire that I can confirm it with.

I think it would be sooooo cool to be a vampire! Lol.
