why do people say that vampires aren’t real if not then why can we imagine them it’s impossible that it would just come out of our minds right?

The origins of it probably go to far back in history to really know where it started. If there were vampires, there were be a good reason for it to be a secret; people would be harassing them to make them one so they could stay young and not have to die.
ive read a book that says it is actually real, that vampires does exist. For me it is real that somewhere theres a groups of vampires, but i dnt expect them to b like cullen families or salvatore brothers in vampire diaries though.
yes they are. but thats an opinion not a fact. and yes people can just think of something like that. but to see it all over the world, when we were not able to even get to the other countries is kinda strange. so that to me says there is more to it than just imagination and delusion.
Wait, explain that to me, because I’ve heard it before and it makes no logical sense.
Why can we not imagine things? Why can we not make things up? Do you never read a book, watch TV or films, or look at art? We imagine and make up things all the time! So explain to me how you arrived at this notion. I have to hear your logic. Explain why we can’t just make things up.
As to vampires, they came about long ago as a way for people ignorant about how death works to explain the changes they sometimes saw in corpses.
I agree with KThxBye…..I don’t understand you logic. For instance, did you know there is a creature that has a human head and body of a penguin and the legs of a spider….oh wait i just imagined that.
I also agree with what she said about how people used it to describe how corpses decayed, like they thought they were breathing when it was actually just gases emiting from the corpse.
Vampires DO NOT exist, and this can be proven with the application of logic, critical thinking skills, and verified scientific and medical data:
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.
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.
I do believe vampires real. I also do believe Trainsylvaina Is real. I may not share this secret because the vampires might get me in my dreams and take away my ”powers.”
Vampires do not exist, but the origin of the legends about them date far back into history, largely due to misunderstandings about diseases etc. A notable example is the plague of tuberculosis (also known as consumption) in New England in the 17th and 18th century. The disease involves the coughing up of blood which was one cause for alarm and stories. The other was that, due to superstition, people believed that the spirits of the dead were coming back to haunt the living and causing the tuberculosis. When these suspected corpses were exhumed a small time later, they would often have bloated bellies, colored faces, sometimes even blood trickling from the corner of their mouths. While we know today that this is simply a part of the decomposition process, the people then had no way of knowing this and attributed it to a mythological creature – namely vampires.
well if imagining things makes them real, im gonna ride a dragon to go hang out with harry potter this weekend
vampires are not real. the myths started waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy back in the day when there were medical anomilies that people couldnt explain because they didnt have the technology to do so
want to know stuff about them then email me…I am not sayign any more on here to avoid drama and junk like that.
I know basic origins of them
know peoples behavior
about the cults and clans of certain people and places
and much more
Of course Vampires are Real. It is impossible that the figure would appear in multiple cultures with no contact with one another. No logical person could possible believe that. How could all of those people from ancient times have all, amazingly imagine the same figure at the same time??? That is nonsense. The myths were based on fact and are still very much a live in the old country.
Some Real Facts About Vampires:
1. Vampires do most assuredly exist, both in the form of the “Living Vampire” of the Noble Ancients. Only a fool would believe other wise since, as any good anthropologist knows, when you see a cultural figure/myth/story showing up in multiple cultures in ancient times when said cultures were geographically isolated with little to no contact with one another it is because they are relating fact, not fiction. It is purely idiotic to think that all of these random people in these various cultures just happened to make up the same figure with the same base elements.
2. The digestive system and nutrients in the blood have absolutely NOTHING to do with being a vampire, that is NOT what a vampire is feeding off of. And even with all of the supposed medical knowledge, there is sill much that people do not know, for example, some individuals are actually allergic to human blood and have severe reactions to transfusions (even when properly matched). There are theories but the exact reasons for this are not entirely known.
4. Most vampires do not drink nearly the amount of blood that people seem to think that they do and most do eat other types of food, it is not the nutrient in the blood that is being used by the vampire, it is the vital energy from the living source. You take in about as much blood when you eat your rare steak and burger as a lot of vampires consume directly, they just choose a willing donor instead of torturing and slaughtering a cow to get their source. Further, if you talk to a lot of Psi Vamps or those into various fields of internal martial arts you would find that the amount of food required goes down based on the amount of energy, or Chi that they are consuming.
5. Being a vampire has nothing whatsoever to do with sexual fetishes, that is just stupid. In fact you will find that quite a number of vampires even tend to be celibate and either way, the feeding is NOT a sexual thing. May there be some sadist out there with an interest in blood, sure, but that has nothing whatsoever to do vampires.
6. The math idea that vampires would over populate the Earth is totally wrong. A- it would mean that someone obviously has no idea what a vampire even is and B- would wrongly be assuming that they would just be going around willy nilly biting people and turning them, which is ridiculous and baseless.
7. Vampires are NOT monsters, it is only the bigoted mind of small beings who would label someone that they don’t understand as a monster. People should not be so quick to past judgment on people and their mental state when they do not know any of them, and no nothing of them, their lifestyle, their history, or the mental state. There is enough hate in this world already.
