Do you believe in Vampires?

December 19, 2006 6:49am CST
I use to have this friend, in her 30s now, that really believed in them. She was so scared of them you couldn’t even say the word around her. She even thinks one attacked her in her sleep when she was a child. I’m just curious how common is this.

I don't believe in blood sucking vamps... I don't think they are real. However there are weirdos out there who pretend to be vampires or think that they are and they can be scary. Like those group of teenagers that murdered a few years back. They were on Geraldo last year. I love reading vampire books but I know it's just lore.

I know I remember watching Jerry Springer when I was alot younger and seeing these people on there claiming to be real vampires, and I was like "Yeah, right, they're not real" but then I was reading this website one time that said there are people that believe they are actually vampires, and it's been reported that alot of cults are into vampirism. So, in a way, they are real. Just not the storybook version of them.

Well I do not believe in vampires, it is your inner fears which come on surface when you sleep so her fear of vampire made your friend saw the attack on her.

Well that is how I felt, there isn't any such thing. But her fear was so strong and other than that, she seemed very rational to me. I just had to ask if others are like her. Maybe they know something me and you don't. Let's hope not though.

No I don't, but I have a tendency to question whether I am right or not. Until I met my friend who was terrified of them, I didn't second guess myself, but I now wonder is there something I may not know about. Maybe they do and I have just not had any experinces with them. Silly, but it's never a bad thing thing to sometimes confirm whether you are right or not.

I do not believe in vampires. However, there are some people in this world that think they are vampires. The drink blood and sleep in a coffin during the day. They even go to the dentist to enlarge with plastic, their eye teeth.

There are so many metaphors for the vampiric condition that I believe people invented the vampire to artistically represent addiction, co-dependance, etc.The more superstitious of eras came up with this brilliant collections of symptoms bound into a creature of the night, I believe that many many things could be described as wampiric, but the best vampires, remain fictional.

i'd say it depends how attached one is to the spirit plane, if thats what you can stomach calling it. vampires are a rather large piece of our collective unconscious, existing in many cultures as myths throughout the world, with strange similitaries invoked despite lack of communication in these cultures at the time of the myth's surfacing.. does that which exists in the mind truly exist? of course. have you ever hallucinated pain? also, keep in mind that many cultures have different instances of reality simply because of their variance in adaptation of language. basically, step outside of your home language and you have stepped outside of your home reality. be not so doubtful o sunshinecup. i wish you even more sunshine :)

existence of vampires, goblins, fairies and similar mythical creatures have always deluded the human mind. Scientifically speaking, these creatures are often exaggerations of human thoughts and encounters that have become a reality over the passing generations.
