When I was in school I wrote a paper on vampires as well. I would suggest reading up on Vlad Tepes(Vlad the Impaler/Vlad Dracula), who is the basis of Bram Stoker's novel. I found some really good information in my studies on him.
Elizabeth Bathory also had some interesting habits.
It's all a very intriguing topic, but I have to admit that I do not believe that vampires exist, at the least not anymore.

The real stories of some of the accused "Vampires" in history are almost as unbelievable as the monster. History makes some monsters very real.
I can't imagine how a Vampire, by any of the traditional definitions, could exist.

This may help you with researching this topic.
By traditional, I mean Count Dracula... blood sucking, transforming, severe allergy to holy things...

My opinion is this topic comes up way too much and people should learn to use the search function or just scroll down the forum page as its unlikely that a vampire thread would ever not be on the first page.

Well, I've always equated meat eater to vampires. I mean, they do love that taste of flesh and blood, right? So, yeah, vampires certainly do exist.

Seems like every time I turn around there is another vampire doing this or that. Whether it's a movie or a tv series, they don't stop
I don't understand the fascination with vampires because they are overrated and overexpose.. Then again I don't understand the fascination with Obama either.
But to answer your question, they are probably connected to the blood sucking European royalty that secretly sacrifice babies and drink fresh baby blood to keep them younger looking.
Some say it's also to keep them from turning into reptiles
Someone ran with this basic premise and the rest is history.
