are there real live vampires in this world today?

Not in the sense of the popular literature. There are people out there that THINK they are real vampires and can be somewhat dangerous, but they don't need blood, they need treatment.

I'm all about the lycanthropes, baby, but I think people are more fascinated with vampires because werewolves are only werewolves once a month. They can be in the light. Vampires are vampires forevverrr, with prolonged lifespans and a dislike of the sun. Werewolves are still socially (and religiously) accepted people... as long as the full moon's not out.

I can't discount the possibility of there being real live psychics out there somewhere, but I do know that anyone who is trying to sell you their powers, like the amazing Miss Cleo, is a fake, phony charlatan. Be skeptical, Demand proof.

There's a Sanguinarium in LA (the awesomeness!) which I recommend. It's not hard to find. \n\nAlso try vampirefreaks.com and search by area.

I guess you mean a real Vampire who sucks blood out of people.\nI've never met the real thing, but i know lots of people who wish they were Vampires and were imortal and others who pray that a real one would come and turn them.\nWhen I was 19 I was madly in love with Lestat so I understand their appeal, their lustre. If Vampires are like Rice's beings then I'd love to interview one and so would many others.\nI'm afraid that you won't find what you are looking for here..

I suppose it depends to which mythos of vampire one subscribes. There are some that say vampires are the undead, they have no sexual feelings. There are some that say vampires are born, as in a unique race of humanoids capable of love, lust and sex. I don't think I've ever seen a horny Nosferatu, come to think of it.\n\nBut I think a general answer would be to say that Hollywood has made vampires a very sensual type creature. The whole act of blood sucking has become a very intimate act. And it's sexy, and we all know that sex sells. :)

I think they're real. We've all seen something out of the corner of our eyes from time to time right??? The scary thing is, they're not being quite so shy these days. They seem to be seen more now than ever before..creepy

Vampires are real on many different levels. \n\nWhen you talk about vampires, most people think of blood suckers. There most certainly are blood vampires.\n\nI've only ever drank my own blood; sucking on a wound, or laying on my back with a bloody nose. Nose blood; not the greatest, but I wasn't totally grossed out. Wound blood; not so bad. So even as a complete non-vampire, I can't claim that I regard human blood as a completely disgusting thing to drink.\n\nAs for the vampires I've met, drinking blood is an amazing and wonderful thing. It's all about that life force energy, and blood carries that energy. They say that just reaching out and draining someone of their energy is the greatest high, but drinking blood adds a thrill of sensuality. Feeling as it enters their mouth, still warm. Swallowing, physically taking the life-force inside of them. Tasting someone from the inside. They talk about it as a real thrill. Amazingly sensual.\n\nAlso, AB negative blood is supposedly the tastiest. It's a little sweeter than most blood. They say that an AB negative diabetic is like a candy apple.\n\nMany people drain those around them of life force energy, but there are some who can do it purposefully. They have the ability to reach out and drain a person's energy, and some are better at it then others. Some can contact you from far away in the vision realm after having looked you in the eyes and made a karmic connection, and take your energy. But the best is when they can just reach out and take it, draining a person until they fall on the floor. They say it's far better than caffeine. These are the energy vampires.\n\nI have a good friend who can do that. She's the only energy vampire I know who uses her power for good. She takes people's headaches. She also has an amazing ability to sense energies, making her one of the most powerful witches I know (I know a lot of witches who claim to be powerful, but very few who actually are). I have known her for many years and we are very close friends.\n\nOne time it was the dead of winter, she was sitting next to a window, and she felt someone looking at her. She looked and there was someone dressed in black with no color in their body sitting across the road, intently looking at her. She looked down for no more than five seconds, looked up again, and he was sitting on her side of the road, still intently looking at her. He was not dressed for the cold, but was not shivering at all. She looked down again, and looked up and he was sitting 10 feet from the window. Just intense calm looking at her. She immediately closed the blinds realizing that she had just had an encounter with a real vampire, although she recognized him as a kindred spirit. Had she left the blinds open, there is no telling what could have happened to her. \n\nIt probably wasn't a vampire like Dracula or what we see from Hollywood, but it was definitely something from outside of our mundane existence. So there might be another kind of vampire out there also. The vampires of myth and legend might be roaming the earth after all

No its not the grim reaper, its not the devil's right hand man....it is actually a vampire. I never used to believe in them....and personaly I thnk the whole blood sucking thing to get energy is very very sick! However about a year ago I was letting my dog outside and I saw it, the same exact image you are talking about! The black robe, long fingernails, VERY pale skin. I ran inside....when I first let my dog out he was about 150ft away staring at me, when I ran inside and peered out the window he was right there face up against it, whispering my name! FREAKY....my dog the whole time this "vampire" was near my window, was silent, and laying down at the end of the steps. I told this "vampire" to go away and wierd enough it did! Didnt harm me or the dog! Myth says a vampire can NOT come into your house without an invintaion, so if I were you I would NOT open that window outta curiousity and invite it in! So yeah Ive seen it and am afraid, well not afraid just a lil freaked out at that time....the really wierd thing is that my dog was so calm and didnt care....or that the vampire didnt touch my poor poochie...lol Everyonce in a while I see the same figure, same face outside my kitchen window...or staring at my house from a distance....

Yes, vampires are real, but they're hardly like the ones in fiction.  Real vampires feed off the energy of other people and the environment because they can't produce enough energy on their own for themselves, but they also won't die if they can't feed.  Some vampires do drink blood to get this energy, but many don't have to, and those who do usually have willing donors.  Also, many vampires have no problems with sunlight, holy objects, mirrors, garlic, or nearly all of the other fictional problems.  They don't live forever either.  Many have hightened psychic awareness and physic strength and speed, but it's not a given.\n\nIt is highly unlikely that there is a vampire virus.  The only way for someone to be a vampire is to have been born one.  As for being Turned...I won't say you can't be Turned, since there are a couple cases where a mundane human was successfully changed into something close to being a vampire; I would say you _won't_ be Turned, because it's extremely dangerous to both people involved and any sane vampire will flat out refuse to do it.\n\nOf course, there are a few nuts who try to imitate their favorite characters in vampire fiction, making a mess of things and giving real vampires a bad name.  There are also a few real vampires who can't deal with what they are or believe that because of what they are they can do what they like and they end up being overly violent, make a mess of things, and give the rest a bad name as well.  In most cases, if someone says he/she is a vampire, it's either wishful thinking or you want to get away from that person because they're going to be bad news.  A vampire will probably not tell you what they are until they're comfortable around you, if at all.\n\nSo, yes, vampires exist, but you're probably not going to know if you've met one, although mundanes do tend to subconsciously shy away from them. And no, a vampire virus most likely does not exist.

It all depends on where they bite them. Vampires have to bite on the neck. I am not sure where humans would have to bite.

I don not think she is a vampire, if you look at her carefully you can see that she is obvioulsy a zombie. Vampires are usually attractive and well preserved. : )

Technically Vampires are mythological creatures/beings who live off blood from humans and animals. But if you really think you are becoming a vampire...For one I suggest you see your local psychiatrist\n\nOn the other hand if you refuse to see a shrink here a few websites you can look into.\n\nHopefully you don't like the taste of blood...I mean like all the time....that's slightly disgusting!\n\nThe last site is "fellow vampires"...gives me the creeps...
