When you hear the word vampire, each and every one of us envision Count Dracula. However, this is not the case with real vampires. Yes, there are real vampires and some do in fact have a lust for blood per se. On the other hand, it is not necessarily the blood they desire but the energy that comes from the blood.

Vampires unlike us need energy and cannot replenish it in the same manner as the rest of us. Vampires are humans that eat, breathe, and enjoy everything else that other humans do; however, they have a sort of impairment that depletes their energy level. They can attain energy in various ways according to the type of vampire they are. The energy that vampires crave is also known as chi, prana, or life force.

There are various types of vampires, which are usually defined into two major categories which Psychic Vampires and Sanguine Vampires, the later are the ones known as blood feeders.

The modern day vampire is not lurking in dark alleys waiting for you to pass by so they can attack your jugular vein and suck all the blood from your body. They are also not capable of turning into a bat and flying into your window at night to turn you into a blood feeder. The majority of modern day vampires have learned how to absorb energy around them to keep their life force healthy. When a vampire begins losing energy, he or she can become very ill and will need to feed. The way in which they feed is by absorbing energy from others around them some by touch while others do not have to touch at all.

When you break the Psychic Vampires down into various categories, you will find:
Elemental vampires, who feed on such elements as thunderstorms
Sexual vampires, who feed on sexual acts
Emotional vampires, who feed on the emotions of other around them

Psychic Vampires do have sharp senses and good immune systems; however, they can become very ill when they need to feed just as Sanguine vampires. Vampires that need to feed can experience muscle cramps, headaches, stomach cramps, nausea, and even have a bad temper. All vampires prefer to be social in the evening hours as their skin and eyes are sensitive to sunlight. Sanguine vampires seem to have more sensitivity than Psychic vampires appear to have.


what you guys think?

You hit the nail on the head Anti. What a good explanation to the question, you have delivered it straight from the point.

Wow. This is so interesting. Are there ways for someone who does not consider themselves a vampire to tell if someone else is?

A reanimated corpse that is believed to rise from the grave at night to suck the blood of sleeping people.

Very good explanation. Well done, you really summed up vampires, there.

Very good summery of Vampirism.

Very good! Clear as day Just one thing for me to bitch about (perfectionist)

"The way in which they feed is by absorbing energy from others around them some by touch while others do not have to touch at all."

I think there should be an interpuntion in here:
"The way in which they feed is by absorbing energy from others around them, some by touch while others do not have to touch at all. "

Perfect explanation.

Yes, I agree with all of you. Thanks to hollywood and books, everyone sees vampires as the living dead who suck peoples blood and 'turn' them, or kill them. HA! Please.....

Im not dead, nor have I ever died, I dont sleep in a coffin, I don't turn people, I dont suck blood (not all the time anyways), I cant turn into a bat, im not immortal, garlic and silver and crosses and so on... hardly have any affect on me. Give me a break people! lol...

very nice
