lol no vampires in the twilight sense don’t exist..
but there’s people that do like the taste of blood and drinking it and present themselves as vampires, but yeah so in that way yes.
Vampire imitators are as close as it gets. They have no special abilities.
Look in the yellow pages for under vampire services, only kidding, wait, there is a bat outside my window, he is coming through the window and getting closer and doesn’t have a reflection, I have to go, oh no, it is changing into a…………….wew, luckly I had my crucifix, and they are calling me in the ward for my medication, bye
No, Twilight was a fiction book. Vampires are not real.
Remember– after having fun reading a fiction novel, and you enjoyed the fantasy, always back it up with gaining knowledge about the facts behind the fiction.
Read about the true historical accounts of Vlad the Impaler, for example, or cults and such that actually involve drinking blood **yeeks**
Some people are like vampires in so much as being around them too long seems to suck the life right out of you; had a boss like that some time ago :p
1. There are no real vampires. Cut and paste time, as it is too much work to type this out over and over so here goes. A brief discussion of the human digestive system and then the probable vampire population given an exponential growth rate should explain why vampires are not possible.
2. Vampires do not exist. Period. The human body is not designed to process large amounts of blood for nutrition. There is not enough protein, carbohydrates, and fats present in blood to maintain a complex creature such as Homo Sapiens or any theorized offshoot mutations. When a human ingests food it is first broken up by chewing, then churned up in the stomach with digestive juices to form a bolus called chyme. It then passes into the small intestine where it mixes with bile salts which continue breaking it down on a molecular basis, mostly affecting fats at this point. The broken down nutrients pass through the wall of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they are carried to each cell or stored for later use. Indigestible bulk continues through the intestines, turning a dark brown from the bile. Water is absorbed from this mass in the large intestine depending on the needs of the body – a well-hydrated person will usually have a softer stool than a dehydrated person will. Water also enters the bloodstream, and this is what helps to maintain blood pressure. The pressure tends to balance itself in a healthy person because the bloodstream goes through a formation in the kidney called the Loop of Henle, where the narrowing blood vessel forces excess water and cellular waste such as urea out through the cellular wall into the kidneys, where it is excreted through the ureters into the bladder, and then out of the body via the urethral passageway.
3. IMPORTANT – A person physically unable to process his own food for nutrition therefore also could not process blood – it’s the same process. Ingested blood does not transmit directly to the veins anyway – it would be chemically broken down by the digestive system.
4. Theoretical ingestion of blood to supply these nutrients would therefore have to occur at least once a day, and would require the ingestion of the entire blood supply which could not happen as the stomach is far too small to hold that much liquid volume. Furthermore, such a mass would be difficult to pass thru the intestines as it has no fibrous bulk, would create an intestinal impaction, causing massive vomiting from the large concentration of iron present, and any “real” vampire would have to eventually expel the waste, which would come out as a black, tarry, smelly goo.
5. These humans that affect the whole “vampiric lifestyle” are NOT vampires. They are simply humans playing their own little game, in their own little fantasy world, usually pandering to their own little sexual fetish, which may or may not actually be sexual. I too, play my own little game, in the SCA, but mine is a game where the deeds that I do are determined by the strength of my arm and sword – I am a warrior, with just as much skill and ability as any warrior of ancient times. The difference is that I am claiming to be something physically possible: a warrior, and I prove it everytime I strap on my armor and walk onto a SCA battlefield. The so-called “vampires” are claiming to be something physically impossible: a walking corpse, and all they prove is that black Victorian clothing, a pair of false fangs, and a little makeup make for a good Halloween costume – it does not make you a vampire.
6. Even if a vampire feeds once a week, and his victim also becomes a vampire, that is exponential growth, with four iterations a month. First iteration: One makes one, total two. Second iteration: Two make two, total four. Third iteration: Four make four, total eight. Fourth iteration: Eight make eight, total sixteen. 16 vampires at the end of one month, 256 at the end of the second month, 4096 by the end of the third month, 65,536 by the end of the fourth month, 1,048,476 at the end of the fifth, and 33,572,832 vampires at the end of half a year! Do the math – vampires are a mathematical impossibility. This falls therefore, under the logic of Occam’s Razor – which states that when you have removed every impossible answer, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. Since there is no “vampiric plague” swarming the earth, the logical deduction is that they don’t exist.
7. Point of clarification about “vampire” bats: vampire is simply the name we have given them because they do drink blood, same as a flea, mosquito, or spider. Are these creatures vampires? No. They are living creatures, not legendary monsters. Drinking blood does not make you a vampire anymore than eating raw meat makes you a werewolf, although it might make you a mosquito.
8.The humans who profess to be vampires are victims of an all-encompassing self induced delusion. They are as human as you or I, regardless of their claims, and if they ingest HIV tainted blood they can most certainly contract the disease, esp. if they have any cuts, sores, or lesions in and or around their mouth. It is a very dangerous delusion to be laboring under. Note that there is absolutely no scientific or medical proof that these people derive any benefit at all from the ingestion of blood, and even worse are the so-called “psychic” vampires, because their delusion is one that they cannot substantiate with any concrete evidence at all.
i read a lot of question about these topics, vampires existence, are they real, and many more. my answer to this is a big NO, its only a mere of story whether in short fictions and films. i read about the true stories how the words spread about vampires. its in the book of the well known count dracula, looking for immortal life,kills people by putting a two hole on the victims neck by means of a rubber hose, throw his victims, drunk their blood. neighbors annoyed by the foul smell, reported it to the authorities, a good reporter/journalist came also, and got the good idea to made stories of blood suckers called vampires. the people during that time are more on suspicions and believers. to cut it short, no vampires, they dont exist.
Vampires do not exist, no matter how much an idiot wearing all black with Hot Topic lunchboxes and bad makeup will try to tell you otherwise.
I see you possibly going down the path to awfulness, so I hope you pay attention. No matter how romantic and sexy books make vampirism out to be, you will not turn into one, and the people who claim they have, are smelly and annoying and nobody likes them. They will claim to like drinking blood, but are really only a.) transmitting diseases or b.) transmitting diseases. They do not need it to live, and if anyone ever did consume the amount of blood squirting forth from a jugular vein, they would vomit uncontrollably.
Drinking blood certainly leads to 1.) HIV/AIDS 2.) Writing bad poetry in a Denny’s with all your “non-conformist” friends at 1:00am. 3.) Looking terrible.
Anne Rice created a generation of goths, and Twilight is about to do the same thing with a new generation. Understand that these are fictional stories, to entertain. Edward Cullen is not going to come out of the shadows and whisk you away to leprechaun land. If he does, I hope you have a good can of mace or a taser handy.
If my accounts have failed and you go goth anyways, you will grow out of it in a few years, with any hope and continue leading a normal and unobnoxious life.
Hope I helped.

Listen to Lord Bearclaw, his information is based in fact, not fantasy. Most of your “vampires” on YA! claiming to “know” this information or that information, usually spewing undocumented statistics, aren’t even out of junior high and are either making it up out of whole cloth, or are parroting it from so-called “vampire” websites, where everything is a lie.
I’d bet on the person with the degree, if I were you.
Twilight = Fiction
Vampires = Fiction
I actually think vampires are real after researching really hard and they only powers they have is smelling blood from a couple feet away, seeing in the dark really well, can heal faster than humans, and have strength that would shock you because maybe they dont look like they would be that strong but i dunno if you want to believe in them just remember that your not the only one….hope this helped you with your question……
