Are Vampires and Werewolfs real?

Question

Do you believe that a Vampire or Werewolf, Could have ever existed, Or are they strickly Myth. Now I also want you all to keep this in mind that all legends and myth and suppose to be based in fact during a certain part of of earth history.

Answer 1

Most of what we think about werewolves was invented by Hollywood. The ancient myths involved people donning skins, invoking the spirit of the wolf, and losing their humanity. There's a woman called Lupa who lives in a national park and becomes a wolf nightly. I met her, and I saw her lose herself to the spirit of the wolf

Lupa was at a Pagan festival. She mostly kept to herself, except for at night when she would don the wolf pelt and dance around the fire, invoking the spirit of the wolf, giving up her humanity, losing herself to the spirit of the wolf. She was naked except for the wolf skin, and her body was lean and toned like a wolf. After she was finished dancing, she went off to do I know not what.

I heard that she was nineteen, but her face showed more years. She could speak, but rarely ever did. She might have been a bit feral

I had just gone through a shamanic vision quest to find and merge with my spirit animal, which was far more domesticated, so I was a bit leary of her, however it did give me a much greater insight into what she was doing. She was one of the most fascinating people at the festival, and for a Pagan festival, that's saying something.

One of the most notable figures in werewolf mythology was the Greek king Lycaon. Stories differ on whether Zeus turned him into a wolf as punishment or reward for his sacrifice, but because of the story every year people made sacrifices to Zeus in the hopes of being a wolf for a little while.

But most of the werewolf stuff (getting scratched and turning into a werewolf, silver bullets, only changing on the nights of the full moon, etc.) was invented by Hollywood.

As for Vampires, many people drain those around them of life force, but there are some who can do it purposefully. They have the ability to reach out and drain a person's energy. They say it's better than caffeine.

I have a good friend who can do that. She's the only energy vampire I know who uses her power for good. She takes people's headaches. She also has an amazing ability to sense energies, making her one of the most powerful witches I know (I know a lot of witches who claim to be powerful, but very few who actually are). I have known her for many years and we are very close friends.

One time it was the dead of winter, she was sitting next to a window, and she felt someone looking at her. She looked and there was someone dressed in black with no color in their body sitting across the road, intently looking at her. She looked down for no more than five seconds, looked up again, and he was sitting on her side of the road, still intently looking at her. He was not dressed for the cold, but was not shivering at all. Just intense calm looking at her. She immediately closed the blinds realizing that she had just had an encounter with a real vampire. A real vampire and a kindred spirit. It probably wasn't a vampire like Dracula or what we see from Hollywood, but it was definitely something from outside of our mundane existence.

Answer 2

I would say that in a past day and age, what the people saw was what would be considered a Werewolf or Vampire for that age or time period.
If they exsist today, we would simple explain them away or put a genetic cause to them.
There is something about a family having a gene to grow an extreme amount of hair. They are a big part of a circus, the entire family.
I can't remember where I watched the special on them, but if they were to have been seen 300 years ago THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED A WEREWOLF.
Like I said, I believe they were/are real, we just have a scientific or genetic reason to explaine them now, that we did not then.

Answer 3

Well, I find it hard to believe of vampires and werewolves as they are seen on tv or books. But actually they had to come from somewhere. I read once that in old times they used to bury people alive, and since they weren't buried too deep, they could go out of their graves. There is this illness too where you can get really burnt with just a little bit of sunlight. It is believed that the myth of a vampire came from there. Now werewolves come from another illness, where people act like animals.

Answer 4

vampire is a myth which was started by a bat in Mexico called vampire bat which used to drink blood of other animals and sometimes used to bite humans also... and as bat is a mammal it could infect other humans with rabies which makes person go mad and finally die in a few days.....and so the myth begins..
Also the say that there was a king really cruel who used to brutally kill others in Romania....

these two facts were combined and a book was written vampires by Lord Byron in 1818....this was made popular by our movies and TV shows .....

Answer 5

I believe vampire mythnology started from people with XP (Xeroderma_pigmentosum, an extreme sun senecitivity), and that warewolfs probably originated as either crazy people or moon worshipers.
Logically, I know that they are not real, but sometimes, when I am walking at night alone, I think that they might be real.

Answer 6

Of course they're real!! Vampirism can be traced back to Vlad the Impaler. Werewolves are hybrids and there are also medical cases of humans being very very hairy to the point of looking wolflike.

Answer 7

vampires and Were wolfs do not exists, the are just extravagant stories about eccentric people. Just like the dracula Story

Answer 8

I don't believe either of them exist.

Answer 9

no we are not real
