Oddities' by Rupert T. Gould. Gould's account was based on a paper printed in the Journal of the Asiatic Society, Vol. LXV, 1896.
The paper was written by an explorer named Ethelbert Forbes Skertchley. According to Skertchley the Berberlangs 'are ghouls who must eat human flesh occasionally or they would die ... When they feel a craving for a meal of human flesh they go away into the grass and having carefully hidden their bodies, hold their breaths and fall into a trance. Their astral bodies are then liberated ... They fly away, and entering a house, make their way into the body of one of the inhabitants and feed on his entrails.'

I believe the solution to this issue lies in the recognition of our soul/spirit as being real by the science one day or another. The day that science will put forth some papers having done some experimention using the tools and knowledge that they have, things will change for good. It will happen one day or another this is for sure, but the sooner, the better.
Abstract
Although consciousness-correlated physical phenomena are widely and credibly documented, their appearance and behavior display substantial departures from conventional scientific criteria. Under even the most rigorous protocols, they are only irregularly replicable, and they appear to be insensitive to most basic physical coordinates, including distance and time. Rather, their strongest correlations are with various subjective parameters, such as intention, emotional resonance, uncertainty, attitude, and meaning, and information processing at an unconscious level appears to be involved.
If science, by its most basic definition, is to pursue understanding and utilization of these extraordinary processes, it will need to expand its current paradigm to acknowledge and codify a proactive role for the mind in the establishment of physical events, and to accommodate the spectrum of empirically indicated subjective correlates.
The challenges of quantitative measurement and theoretical conceptualization within such a "Science of the Subjective" are formidable, but its potential intellectual and cultural benefits could be immense, not least of all in improving the reach, the utility, the attitude, and the image of science itself.
On a final note, I am asking for you ATSers who might have any knowledge on the matter of how to deal with this great disease that is plaguing this so beautiful planet Terra.

I do not know if the word vampire is correct but leech seems more accurate, I never tampered with the occult but was always shall we say different, though I have had many earlier and ongoing experiences from about 1993 onward I actually could see entitys and such as black shadows (on one ocasion five with tiny red eyes but basically like three dimensional shadows that a group of mist like beings attacked in front of me driving them back down in a place called the tawd valley in skelmersdale lancashire near to some sealed mine workings), the house we lived in at that time had three previous occupants of the same family die in it but my experiences began as soon as an elderly neighbour whom lived across the street from us was buried after she died, why this was the case I do not know as I never had any dealings with the old lady, at the time I was a fitness fanatic and used to excercise and practice KATA in the back garden extensively.
On one occasion the entitys whom had started to talk to me told me "We are Draining your energy" and there was a sound that I can only liken to a pumping sound but very high pitched like a whining sound that to this day I still hear, they seemed to feed of stress and negativity as well as suffering.
I would say these are more than just a plague on humanity they are indeed an alien invasion into our reality, I was always a faithful christian and still am but the name of our lord had no effect on them though they did seem to on occasion have a fright, on one occasion a small entity that had latched onto me as though the disturbance they were causing had awakened her tried to help me, she could only communicate with me through images and one image like a reliving through her eyes has had me puzzled though I felt she had slept a very long time indeed, the experience she shared was so very vivid and I will share it with you, there was a blue cloudless sky and as I/She looked around there was a number of small knol like islets with green lichen covering them but no other plants or animals, the sea was chrystal blue and looked shallow near to the islet I was standing on, down near the water half submerged was a box like contrivance with a ramp droped and two rows of benches visible either side inside it but not large at all, I/She looked up and there as big as the moon in the sky was a ring shaped space station with four spokes and a large oblong aperture in the central hub, it was shining silver white in the sky and seemed to be spewing fire out into space from various points, I/She felt something bad and then the sky was suddenly without warning filled with black humanoid winged sillhouets, so many they nearly blackened the sky and they seemed huge despite there humanoid shape, I felt that was the point at which she had died/been killed and it was here on earth but judging from the vision before any life we know of had evolved and maybe life is only her because of her people, she looked though I could never make out her legs like a miniature of the greys with large knowing kind black rounded almond shaped eyes, her skin was almost a warm peach colour and she was about the size of a very small child as I percieved her making me feel protective toward this entity and indeed this entity tried to protect me, on one occasion I asked her to let me out and I lifted about a few inches from my body, the room filled with a bright electric blue light and something pushed down on me to force me back into my body, the ones whom said they were draining my energy became very quiet and indeed seemed to have fled but were soon back.
My symptoms are chronic fatigue, an inabillity to concentrate and irritability as well as seeming to feel like I am sleepwalking through my life.
One of the entitys I encountered called itself Asteroth and I had only encountered that through the Hammer house of horror movies so when I did some research I found it was a made up middle ages term for a supposed demon but in reality related to a cananite goddess figure whom upset the ancient synagogue no end called Asha, They are not whom they claim but are liers and parasites, there only interest in getting someone involved in the occult is to feed on them, they have many methods of feeding including direct energy leeching from your soul, Negative vortex through stress (the winepress of wrath) and other emotional manipulation, they also can feed on a person in pain.
The closest thing I can compare them with is slavers and cannibals.

What's also annoying is how you can drain people's energy without even knowing it.
I wish there was a way to tell if you were one yourself. My guess is that if you start feeling positively replenished when you're around people. That must indicate an exchange.
I theorize that if your aura is capable of being depleted and in need of replenishment, you're doing something wrong. Not enough interior loving energy, which constantly generates a full energy store. This is why some individuals are able to refill unlimited people and still keep themselves filled all the time.

I have a friend who is a "psychic-vampire". Just being around him even for a little while, wears me out.
He talks loud and hyperfast...and you cant jump in with an "Oh really? That's pretty interesting"....because he wont stop talking.
He gets louder and faster, and believes he knows more than anyone about whatever the conversation is about. All I can do is nod.
After a little while of me trying to talk with "But..." "I heard too...." "Did you see on the news today..." etc...and getting completely cut off by him...once I leave and get in my car....I just take a deep breath and go "Phew!!!"
He completely drains the energy from me and the room. I have always referred to him as a "psychic vampire"...and it has strained our relationship to the point I dont go see him...because I cant talk at all...he just sucks the life out of me.
And my wife feels the same when we visit together. We both are just drained when we leave.....

No, I meant that if one were a vampire themselves, one would feel a positive energy refill effect. That in particular happens to me when I'm around one of those unlimited love-energy-givers (for lack of a better, less saccharine term), otherwise I feel nothing when I'm around anyone. Maybe I'm immune to vampirism?

A good example actually, the real question remains though if that person if doing unconsciously or at will or not and this is where there is a big difference. One is doing it without no real intention but the latter is really in known of what he is doing.

Perhaps it's just a combination of being tired from processing everything the person is saying in your mind and being bored because you can't get a word into the conversation.

I know I like to look people in the eyes when I speak to them - often piercing because I don't like losing eye contact -- in fact, I notice some people don't like when you look them in the eyes when you speak to them and get uncomfortable so I have to sometimes adjust depending on whom I'm speaking with.

The problem I have with this theory is how does one absorb this "energy" to begin with?
It doesn't just magically float from one person to another. . .
What you described sounds like a socially aggressive person, in all honesty.
