    They’re real. The entire popluation of China are vampires. That’s over one billion vampires. Go on over and check it out. You like Chinese food don’t you, because they like you.

    They are a myth. Do the math. If there were vampires, we would all be vampires by now.

    They are real and will show themselves in Dec 2012 ( the end of the world thing), prepare yourself, but do it discreetly so your not thought the fool.

    I guess I am not a believer. If by vampires you mean the Twilight/Anne Rice (and probably Chelsea Quinn Yarbro St. Germain) type vampires. The older stories, and Count Alexei Tolstoy fictionalized them very well in his the Vrdolak, seemed to be based on traditional Indo-European attitudes towards death, which are somewhat dealt with on the Web ( and serious people should read Mircea Eliades though he mostly talks about later times) and I am not sure I do doubt them.

    They’re a myth, I mean how often do you see people turn into bats? Or fry like bacon in the sun without having a skin disease? It’s fake, deary.

    They are a myth. I don’t remember all of the origins but some of them are really fascinating. One was something like they’d dig up a body and see that the fingernails had “grown” (when actually it was the skin shrinking back around them) and red stains around the mouth (which were just bursting blood vessels or something), and so they’d assume the corpse was somehow alive and getting up and feeding on blood.

    They’re about as real as the Boogie Man. Or Harry Potter, if you’re going off that book series.

    Ok. i dont men to chew any one out or be all scientific. but no we wouldnt be vampires already, bcause the population of our world is in the millions or billions. and there couldnt be as many vampires as there is people or half because in the next 5 years there will be too many people in the world and with vapires turning us we would all die of suffocation or claustrophobia-if there wasnt any vamps.

    if there were- ITS POSSIBLE!!! yeah yeah i know i should be in a straight jacket well even scientists say its possible. ufos,and big foot are the samething and ghosts. and they are ALL on tape. ok look at it this way. we are HUMAN anything that is or was has started ut human besides animals right? so if we exist… then anything can!!! i have hope. but i am also part werewolf..(:(:(:

    1. Vampires, defined as a humanoid being that MUST consume blood or energy to survive do not exist. Cut and paste time, as it is too much work to type this out over and over and I “recycle” my own answers instead of retyping them 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. 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 into a bolus by chewing, then churned up in the stomach with digestive juices to form a mass called chyme. It then passes through the pylorus into the duodenum, part of the small intestine where it mixes with bile salts and secretions from the pancreas and liver 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. Hold up your clenched fist – under normal conditions your stomach is about that size. 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, just as stool does when blood is present from a upper GI bleed.
    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! By way of comparison, there are currently approximately 33 million people who have HIV/AIDS and the disease is a world-wide epidemic. I see people every day in the hospital with AIDS, but never has there been one documented case of a vampire attack. Do the math – vampires are a mathematical impossibility.

    As for the idea that vampires existed “a long time ago” consider the estimated global population 5,000 years ago – using the above mathematical rationale, a single vampire could have converted every human on the globe in less than six months. 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, leech, or spider. Are these creatures vampires? No. They are living creatures, not legendary monsters. They can subsist on blood because of their smaller size and proportionately larger stomach volume. 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.

    9. There is no “vampire” gene. People are not “born” as vampires. When a woman goes to the hospital for prenatal care there are many tests done on mother and child, even while still in the womb, to check for many things, including genetic anomalies that result in deformities and birth defects. If such a gene existed, in today’s world with today’s technology it would have been found – we have already completely sequenced the human genome. It would also have to follow Mendel’s law of dominant/recessive gene theory. Again, the odds on that many “vampires” all escaping the notice of the medical/scientific community are so low as to be almost nonexistent. The idea that there is a global “vampire community” engaging in controlled breeding to keep the “bloodline pure” is delusional in the extreme.

    10. There is no “vampire virus” – as I have already pointed out, HIV is a virus, and look at how fast it has spread – virtually everyone knows someone with the affliction. According to the “vampire websites” there are “thousands” of vampires running around. If that was so then at least one of them has ended up in a hospital for bloodwork when they became pregnant, had a bloodborne infection, was injured in a car wreck, etc, etc, ad nauseum. The anomaly would have been detected and medical science would have isolated it, studied it, applied for research grants on it, published papers on it, and turned it into the talk of the medical and scientific community, as well as making its “discoverers” celebrities and rich beyond their dreams. A virus cannot alter your DNA in such a radical fashion without killing you.

    they are very real yes. my friend francesca is one and here is a very true statement about vampires…FOR THE LAST FRIGGIN TIMR THEY DO NOT SPARKLE STEPHANIE MEYER MADE THAT UP TO MAKE TWILIGHT MORE INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Karla said:

    I think they are freakishly real. Where else will we get the concept of vampires if not for actual experiences or encounters with them. They may be living among us and we don’t know about it. Its like mermaids or fairies and other mythical creatures. I think that vampires have been coexisting with human beings from the beginning.

  • Jessica said:

    Many people are very close-minded and very ignorant to see whats in front of them the turth is their to afraid to belivve that demons, vampires, werewovles are real. If everyone believed they truth life would be in a totaly different perspective. and yes their are vampire. actually the numbers are multiplying. theirs three different kinds. sanguanarian vampires who feed from blood. psyhic vampires who feed from peoples energy. and hybrid also called combination who feed from both. have you ever felt like their was more going on in the world in the human race well trust your guts because their probably right.

  • shadowcatdoll said:

    VAMPIRES ARE REAL….

    And don’t listen to the fucking crap these ignorant bastards spout! because they are real, they just dwell in places where they will never be found, but I can’t blame them for not coming out look at all the bad publicty they get, such as Twilight VAMPIRES DON’T FUCKING SPARKLE! i mean its a joke edward looks like a frickin’ pansy compared to the true vampires of the night! I rest my case.

  • aura_girl said:

    Myth.

  • Ava J said:

    No, vampires are’nt real. haha sorry

  • Pixieluv13? said:

    I think they are real, and yes you can say Im crazy. I believe because legends about vampire from all times exist. So many different cultures have stories that seem to add up to the same type of being, and how can ALL those stories exist world wide from ancient times when they were linked only though long travel over vast distances. It doesn’t add up how they couldn’t be real. I’ve always believed, but maybe I am crazy, but I was brought up to believe in the impossible because the impossible somhow always seems to happen in life.

  • Ryanne said:

    Yes I am a very strong believer in vampires. But I have to say twilight sucks. Vampires don’t sparkle like a million diamonds in the sun! Bleh!
    But I do believe in vampires. There are so many undiscovered things in the world like vampires. for hundreds of years they thought the world was flat. no it’s not. They thought the Earth was the center of the solar system. And no it’s not. I can give you supporting evidence all day but at the end it doesn’t matter. I’m not a vampire. :( you’re not a vampire :( and the world is filled with stupid close minded people who are to caught up in their boring life to acknowledge all the possibilities!
