Vampire Truth

I am a big fan of vampires but I wouldn’t go as far as to say I wish to be one whether they do exist or not. I have watched over 100 different vampire films and each one were different in their own way. I believe in what I see, if a vampire was to come before me then I will believe they exist but until that day then no.

What makes me wonder is the fact that all these people on here who claim to be vampires have not once used the original spelling, how I would’ve thought a vampire would say, after all its their name, that spelling is vampyre.

Charlemagne

I have studied vampires from as early as 10000 BC. They were around when Jesus was here, I actually read in the year 31 Jesus healed all the vampires at Capernaum. Then the next vampire to be heard of was in the year in 140 which the vampires reigned victorious till the year 773, when Charlemagne defeated Quadilla the Vampire, saving Rome. Then there was no sign of a vampire until 300 years later when one was spotted in Russia. It was like the vampires would appear then go for centuries then return.

When the 15th century arrived Dracula was born – 1428 – then he was assassinated in 1477. Then suddenly people started publishing books on how to kill vampires. Then Italian scientist Ludovico Fatinelli was burned at the stake for suggesting a biological cause for vampires.

In 1560 Elizabeth Bathory was born, she was a troubled person through her childhood and she spent all her adulthood in prison. She was a convicted serial killer and she claimed to be a reincarnation of Vlad the Impaler (Count Dracula). In 1607 it was said to believe a ship brought vampires from the other side of the world, they called the ship, the ship of death.

Elizabeth Bathory

In 1610 Elizabeth Bathory was convicted of killing 773 girls, the same number of the year when the first vampire elder was killed (Quadilla). In 1614 Elizabeth then died, the cause of her death is still to this day unknown. After her death books were published on the vampire subject for many years but there was no sight of vampires.

The word vampire was used a lot as it became very popular in the publishing and film industry. Still no sight of any vampires until the year 1872 when Vincenzo Verzeni was convicted of killing two people and drinking their blood. Then in 1897 Bram Stoker released he’s book. Since 1872 there has been no such act that has taken place and throughout the years up to our year now 2010 there has been over 500 different books published and 300 films based on vampires and Dracula.

I have read the scariest books and watched the scariest films. The book that described the vampire most fearsome and one that I would never like to come across was the vampires from the Anne Rice books, which two of them where made into films, The Queen of The Damned and Interview With The Vampire. Her best seller was a book called the Vampire Lestat. The most unfrightning way that a vampire was described was in the Twilight series which there characters are based on beauty but it was the most spot on in a way a vampire could be described.

I hope you enjoy this write up it will be good to see what you think of it. As I said before vampires are an amazing species and so much to tell about them, there is no end in what can be said about them and until the day I meet one I will keep researching.

The first encounter was the one that made me go from believing that blood vampires were pure fiction to more-than-plausible reality. Keep in mind that, prior to this encounter, I had never watched a vampire movie (not even old Dracula flicks), read a vampire book, nothing like that. I knew nothing, really, of the lore and legends.

This one took place at a nightclub in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the autumn of 1988. I was 18 at the time. My roommate and I were working at that nightclub, and that night started off normal as any other night. Because we were underage, we weren’t drinking. We were also not ingesting any intoxicating substances of any sort; in short, we were stone cold sober that night.

We had started work around 8 pm and, like I said, it started out as a normal night. About three hours into it (around 11 pm), she and I were walking towards one another and we each felt…something. It froze us each in place. It was inside our heads, under our skins. This was the most powerful telepathic signal I had ever experienced. I looked at my roommate and saw that she was shaking. I walked up to her and she said, “I can hear him, too.” It wasn’t exactly a voice. It wasn’t a song. It was a vibration, but it wasn’t just a vibration. It was totally outside the realm of my experience.

We both sensed that it was male, whatever it was, and no human being that I have ever met, before that night or since, gives off this powerful of a vibe. It was utterly compelling, and we found ourselves listening for it. We knew he was coming closer, and we each felt that he was personally aware of us.

When he finally arrived, it was…strange…it was almost like no one else wanted to make eye contact with him, like people instinctively, subconsciously, recognized the power in this being and tried to step the hell out of his way. People didn’t run, they didn’t freeze, they just stepped away.

When his eyes met mine, it was like nothing I had ever experienced. He did not physically touch me or anyone else in that nightclub. I would guess that he was about two feet from me when he stopped in front of me. I have no idea how long I stood there, locked in that stare. It could have been seconds or years. Everything else vanished; I lost all awareness of where I was and anyone else but this other being. I could not tell you the specific color of his eyes, but I can tell you that they were dark and intense. He did not look “dead”. He didn’t “sparkle”. His skin, what I could see of it on his face and hands and throat, appeared to be in perfect condition, and was not unduly pale–I am whiter than that being’s skin was.

At one point, I remember forming the thought, “Vampire. He’s a vampire.” And hearing him laugh and knowing he had wordlessly replied, “Yes, yes, I am.” That seemed perfectly normal and entirely logical. He was minutely aware of me, but he wasn’t trying to intrude on my private thoughts; I had the sense that he was conveying a message to me, and I found myself thinking in reply, “Of course. I know. I know not now. I know what you’re telling me. I understand. I will see you at that time.”

And then he was gone.

We could hear (telepathically) and sense his departure, the growing distance between his location and ours. When I finally looked at my roommate again, she had turned a really sickly shade of green and was shaking. I asked her what was wrong, and she had difficulty pulling herself together enough to form thoughts and words, but eventually managed to describe a sensation that felt like a “jackhammer under my skin, in my bones, in my head” when she met his gaze. She said that she started feeling physically ill when she tried to communicate telepathically with him and felt that she had been clearly warned that he was not there to communicate with her.She said it was very clear to her that she was in his way and that he wanted to tell me something.

We asked everyone that we could in the nightclub if they had seen this man, and the most that anyone would say was that they had had an impression of “someone different, dark, scary” passing by them briefly. No one could remember any real specifics about this being, other than believing it was a male.

I wrote down all of the details I could recall immediately, on scraps of paper out in my car. My impression was of a male being–a vampire–with dark, intense eyes, medium-fair skin, long dark hair, medium build (neither bulky nor excessively lean) and no taller than 5?10?. Physically, he did not appear extremely young, but neither was he old; I would have guessed late thirties to early forties. His clothing was normal for the time, blue jeans, boots, long jacket, some kind of shirt that buttoned up the front. I could not see his ears to see if they were pierced, and I had the impression of a silver ring or two, but nothing excessive. Just normal appearance. I wrote down, “Old. His eyes were so old,” on those sheets of paper that I later tucked into the journal I kept at the time. I also wrote, “Know I will encounter him again, but not when or how. Felt no fear of him; [roommate's name] says he terrified her, though, and she was glad when she was ‘released’ from his presence.”

All I can tell you about that night is what I experienced, what I wrote down immediately after it happened, what I remember of it…I know of nothing that precipitated this event.

In the 1980’s I was being taught by old religious men I thought were crazy. They said that they watched your kind and others like your kind, Immortal types, for many years. I could not believe this. There could not be immortals of anything except sea turtles and maybe sea horses. I was also taught by ex-soldiers. I learned how to kill your kind and slow you down with different types of weapons. Then they kicked me out because I could not take that kind of work seriously enough. I still have a hard time with this.

Their Oracle, and they had one, believed that I would betray them. Ha, Ha, betray! They believed in all kinds of weird things. It was like some kind of religious fanatical group of red necks. They even believed that David Koresh was a Messiah and sold him weapons.

Vampires, Angels, Demons, Djinns you name it they believed it was all real. They would starve us first and make us stand in the cold and rain and then try and scare us with tales of your kind. They showed us old pictures of different weapons and people that were supposed to be Vampires. I could not believe. It could not be true. No way. Those pictures of your kind looked very young. Never saw an old looking Vampire except one that may have been forty or so at the most but still looked young and very strong.

They told us about campaigns they had against your kind. That one day there would be an Armageddon because your kind was loose on Earth. They thought some of you came from space. That was a joke to me too. They thought that Jim Morrison and Pam Morrison became Vampires and were told this because people saw them stabbing each other with knives during a domestic dispute and they didn’t die. I laughed. No way there are no Vampires. But they insisted. They tried brainwashing me and others to do really bad things.

I did not believe. I have no faith. But, I am supposed to be your nemesis though and you mine. We are supposed to be enemies. Supposedly, this is my right of birth but I don’t want to fight. I don’t like to kill things. I have faced death though and been seriously hurt and very close to death. So, I am not afraid to die.

Your other Vampire friends like Carlos are right. They hunt for your kind and they will not hesitate to hurt you or capture you. What I am doing now was forbidden and they would be very upset. Last I heard the ones that taught me were arrested and thrown in jail mostly on weapons charges. But the knowledgeable teachers, the old ones, went out of the country I think. They know about you and travel around and have ties to different religious groups. They have lots of money. Lots and lots of money and lots of information about Vampires and they are secretive and cunning and brainwash others.

You have said things though that captivate me now and I am much older I believe you are real. This shocks me. I guess they were right. I know that there are many groups like this everywhere. So, you should be careful. Apparently, I have heard of a new campaign that seeks capture of your kind alive. But you are too fast, I hope and they don’t catch you. Don’t know what else to say but I hope you stay well.

I am a curious person and I like to challenge myself by asking questions and reason over unexplored entities.

Some people claim to be vampires but I doubt that such a ’supernatural’ creature could exist as we know it from the books and movies. I do consider the possibility of an illness or abnormality of some sorts, which sounds much more plausible to me.

People debated these threads and some of the posts are very interesting indeed as well as the diversity of each opinion.

I sincerely want to, beyond anything else, find the truth, (which is quite difficult to even define). I find a great interest in watching people, the way they behave and what motivates them. Why are people unsatisfied with themselves? What is the real purpose of human life in this world? Are we the most brilliant creatures on this planet? Is humanity only a ‘pinprick’ and the world could go on happily without us?

I do think that people of this age are mostly concerned about things which don’t really matter, they are not asking questions anymore, they go with the flow, they claim anything and deny everything. It is getting difficult to find decent and genuine person. Therefore it is worthy to explore and debate the ‘unknown’ with people with the same interest.

What makes humans different from other species is mind and intellect. The realization of our own being and controlling it. To lose control is to fail, the awareness of our own guilt and remorse over a deed we have carried out indicates that our intellect rise above our animal self and therefore we rise above all the species. It is not too bad being human as long as we are keen to learn and ready to discover and understand ourselves.

I wonder, what is ‘out there’ as well, is it possible that one existence could expand beyond a normal life expectancy? Can you imagine such a powerful mind with unimaginable experiences? This is what fascinates me the most of all, the capacity of such a mind.

People on this forum are intelligent and have managed to contribute with some interesting thoughts. As many people on this forum I find Adamaris’s posts the most thought -provoking. A very genuine mind. I comply with her/his point of view on the complexity of the world and so very often ‘unnecessary dramas of humanity’. I also would like to thank her/him for reminding us all that we have to find the strength in our weakness and not to dwell on our fears and uncertainty.

We have got so much to learn, so very often we repeat the same mistakes over and over.

Back to the ‘vampire’ topic, it seems that every possible question has been answered by ‘vampire Xavier’. What I would like to ask Xavier is, what does he care about the most in his life, what are his goals and motivations, because everybody needs some inspiration in life. And the other thing, are there any differences between ‘vampire’ and human emotions, because some people/humans are too sensitive and emotive, so it causes many misconceptions and distress in the world. I am not saying I believe in what he says he is, I just want to ask, out of curiosity. That is all from me and thank you for your trouble.

I met this guy and we instantly became friends, until such time we got more closer as months go on. He then started courting me which means a lot of his time was spent on me, be it through phone contact, face-to-face, et al…

As we became closer, I really noticed some traits and characteristics in him that are above the normal level of an average human being. He is an intelligent person (more on philosophies), a mind-reader which makes him enjoy just observing people through their actions, etc.. However, he always has this headache when the sun is blaring red outside, usually between 10 am – 3 pm, and his eyes cant hold on to the brightness of the day. However, if the dark comes or during night time, he can see clearly. His colleagues always tell him that he possesses an owl’s eyes because of this trait. There are times too when he tells me that his blood is boiling inside (that’s his description when he’s having that feeling). Also, he seldom sleeps and 2 – 3 hours can do. He couldn’t sleep any time of the day or night unless during the dawn, however, he got that strength.

As for the physical attributes, his two fangs are quite a little bit longer and sharper than a normal fang of a person, however, he let those fangs be fixed by a dentist. I was always fascinated about his personality, for he seems to be a complex person yet a serious one. He is so passionate and a great lover, but its just that there is this hole with regards to his personality.

One time, he told me that he drinks fresh animal blood to booster his strength. I really didn’t believe him until I dared him to. He drinks the blood from snakes (his favorite is the blood coming from a cobra but very hard to find in some places), dogs, eels, bats, lizards, and others except the blood of a pig. This was the reason why he chose the job of being in the special internal operations (in the army, he is a very good sniper) because they normally move during night time esp. if having an operation in the forest/mountains. And by the way, he is a skilled hunter.

This really arosed my curiosity as time goes on, until such time that he openly admitted to me that he is partly a vampire. He told me how he came to discover his being a vampire and the first time he simply drank blood without anybody forcing him to do it when he was around ten years old. Still, I didn’t believe in him because of my strong belief that no such beings like vampires do exist. But I really see some other traits in him, like he doesn’t want the smell of a fresh garlic but eats them if finely cooked. Occasionally, he drank animal blood for at least once a month and of course, really liked their meat also (what we called exotic foods). This is the reason why he admitted to me that he is partly a vampire because we generally don’t get along when it comes to foods.

There are some times when he is having those strong feelings he wants to express, he has this urge to bite me but he can contain himself from doing such. And his reason is “Love is stronger than his urge.” And finally, my boyfriend admitting it was the sole purpose why I came to visit this website to search more about the true existence of vampires.

There are still some stories that I wanted to share with regards to him but I think that what I just have told you arose some questions that am questioning to my beliefs also. As for your belief with regards to paranormal beings, I strongly believe about that matter for our culture does so.

This was originally posted as a comment to the article Samantha The Real Vampire

Do you think that humans have souls? I have to deal with the death everyday at work and many people believe in souls or spirits that dwell inside our flesh. Some believe that they are reincarnated souls moving from body to body. Yours, I believe would be stuck in your body for as long as you are a vampire. This could be a very long time. So, I was taught.

But other vampires that have been hunted and killed must have moved on if this is true. So a bunch more questions firstly, I will describe your kind as immortal but I know that is not 100% true. If anything ever happened to you, where do you think your soul would go and can you sense other vampires like your kind a “full blood immortal” around you. What does this feel like? Headaches? Body vibration?

Can you sense the souls, if you believe in them of a Vampire that may have been hunted and killed and is reincarnated living as a mortal and do you have the urge to change them back into your kind.

Personal question and you don’t have to answer Can you have children through sex? Or are you unable to procreate this way?

I know that you believe in God. I know you even pray but do you think that you will be punished just for being what you are if anything were ever to happen to you or do you have faith that no matter what you will be forgiven and you too will be reincarnated as another being.

I have heard of this connection between vampires through blood. The connection is that the sire is always a part of you. I believe it is a myth though that if the sire is harmed you are harmed. In fact, when I was sent away to learn about your kind, my teachers taught me if the sire is hunted and killed nothing will happen to their fledglings. But the fledglings will definitely sense something is wrong. I was also taught that each vampire must be dealt with one by one. But, if the sire is killed this does not affect the fledgling in any way physically though. You know what I mean like the Vampire movies?

I was also taught that the blood of dead humans tipped on sharp objects like knives, arrows and swords can be used as weapons. It can penetrate your skin and makes your kind sick and weakens you but doesn’t kill you. That weapons tipped with the blood of the dead were once used to hunt your kind long ago and to slow your kind down affectively. So, a kill could be made. A kill was always a decapitation.

I was taught the blood of a dead vampire is still affective in causing humans to change in to vampires if contact is made with it. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. Those that taught me about your kind described what you had in you was a venom like substance that causes changes in the human body. Like a symbiotic relationship. Certainly, it makes you stronger and faster and cures all kinds of ailments but it also entices you to kill without regard. That you are always in a state of blood lust and humans are basically food. That some vampires will promise the gift of immortality out of seduction, “I will make you a vampire,” but lie and kill trusting humans. I was taught not to trust your kind or face death. In fact, I was taught not even to communicate with your kind or my teachers would kill me. I wonder if they are reading this now? But like you say “who cares” let them. I am tired to of hiding to. But I haven’t seen many of them in a long time.

I was also told that many of your kind were killed in France during the revolution by decapitation. I was shown documents I believe were fake dating very far back as far as the 16th century that supposedly described your kind. I couldn’t understand them because they were written in other languages but told to trust. When I was sent away in the 1980’s, my teachers believed that there was a resurgence of your kind. They described you as an infection. They said that your population was growing then just as it had in the two previous decades the 1960’s and 1970’s. They said that it slowed down in the 1950s and 1940s and couldn’t account for this. Does any of this make sense? Because sometimes I feel like I have been brainwashed.

Recently, I have been attempting to get rid of the tattoo through laser treatments I received after I left them. All my grandparents are dead and I have not seen any of those that taught me since the late 1980’s. So, I don’t really care. Whenever I see a vampire movie now, I laugh and even more so when I watch Buffy the vampire slayer. But I know that there is some truth that is very strange. I have never told anyone where I was sent. It was in the States though and it was near your State it’s probably a coincidence. But a word of warning, be careful traveling through Alabama there are all kinds that might be looking out for your kind. I wish you the best Vampire girl and keep your head I am sure that it is a pretty head.

In the 1980’s I was told that there are some like you but most prefer company. They said that Rogues tend to live longer because they are careful and discrete.

I was told many unbelievable things about some famous people that were vampires and that were made in the 1960’s, like Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. That they were killed by slayers and didn’t die of drug overdoses including, Jim Morrison’s wife. I laughed out loud even before LOL was invented. But the filled room was silent except for me. They believed Jimi Hendrix could be very dangerous because he had been in the 101st Airborne Division and had military training. But I guess not.

I was told that a famous photographer named Robert Cappa fell in love with one of your kind. She was a rogue female vampire that lived modestly but had great wealth, that she was ancient, she was of Oriental decent and he had taken intimate photos of her and she loved him too. They used to meet in South East Asia. She became very depressed when he was killed by a land mine while traveling with the French Troops in French Indochina now Vietnam. Apparently, he met her through another one of your kind that he took photos of during the Spanish Civil War.

One of the mandates of these groups were to execute anyone that was famous that became a vampire and always make it look like an accident or accidental OD or whatever. They were privately financed. No government involvement.

I was shown pictures of different suits of armor that had been used by ancient knights to fight your kind. They didn’t work. I was showed pictures of swords that killed your kind. I guess that’s how they discovered the blood of dead men worked to slow your kind down.

I was told that killing your kind had always been trial and error and that there had been many errors and many mortal men and women had been killed. I was told that a 7.62 mm bullet and a full metal jacket 5.56 mm can slow your kind down but that no matter what decapitation was fatal and always best.

I was told that there were also different types of beings like you from different continuums, but not like you, some drank blood but some didn’t need to. That the history was vague and many records had been lost or hidden by other groups that didn’t want to share info. Also, that their may have even been some kind of extra-terrestrial involvement in your condition. No one really knew or maybe they didn’t want to say. I laughed too much and didn’t take it serious.

I know that they were beginning to take better records when I left and I believe they were new weapons being designed too. I was never asked to participate in any action against your kind probably because I couldn’t take it seriously. But they were interested in me because of my date of birth day November 1st. I am still puzzled about this. I now its All Saints Day but who cares. They were also interested in the fact that I could eat those apricot seeds like M&M’s and not be affected by them.

I am telling you this because there are others that may hunt for you and kill you just because they believe what you are and don’t like your kind. Even though, I believe in your kind now I don’t feel the same animosity these groups do. So, you should be careful.

Vampire. The word conjures up images of suave, handsome, or strikingly beautiful creatures, such as is depicted in Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. Those of you who are fans of her books are quite familiar with the arrogant and sexy Lestat.

One of the most famous vampires of all time is, of course, Count Dracula. The brain child of Bram Stoker who based his immortal monster on a Hungarian ruler know as Vlad Tepes, also know as Vlad Dracul-a, which when translated means “son of the dragon,” a nicknamed that was well earned, for the count was a blood thirsty and ruthless ruler. He was also known as Vlad the Impaler due to his habit of impaling people on very sharp stakes and letting them suffer until they died a horrible and extremely painful death.

The legends of vampires were around long before Stoker wrote his book. From very early times there have been reports and tales of vampires, or vampyr, which means, when roughly translated, “blood drinker.” In nature there are all kinds of vampires; Mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, bedbugs, and a species of bat that drinks blood, named most aptly the vampire bat.

But, what about the vampires of legend? Do they exist? There are some well documented accounts that indicate they do.

Arnold Paole a Vampire?

There was the case of Arnold Paole. It was reported that Arnold was bitten by a vampire while he was serving as a soldier in his country’s army. When he returned home from service he became a farmer. One day while cutting hay Paole had an accident which killed him. A few days later, people started dying from loss of blood. The people started saying there was a vampire in their midst.

There were several eye-witness reports that said they had seen Arnold walking around after his death. His eye were glassy and his teeth had grown long and sharp. The locals went to dig up Paole’s body, and when the had unearthed the corpse, there was no decay and there was fresh blood on the lips and a bloom of color in the cheeks. Arnold looked as fresh as the day he had died. The locals pounded a stake through the vampire’s heart and heard the vampire screech in agony. Then they cut off the head and burned the body. The deaths stopped.
