These days it's hard to separate the historical vampire legends from the fictionalized ones. Most of the horror/fiction authors have borrowed from existing legends.

Mythologically, there are as many different types of vampires as there are different cultures and language groups. Some are blood-drinkers and some are more closely related to ghouls in that they both drink blood, and eat the flesh of their victims.

There are also a great deal of "psychic" vampires, who do not drink blood, but steal a person's energy and vitality. These types tended to be common in places where people died of "unknown" fevers...diseases that did not leave any lesions or marks on the victim.

The historical figure Vlad the Impaler was NOT a vampire. Not by any stretch of the imagination. He was a very violent man, and killed a lot of people to be sure, but he never drank their blood or did anything supernatural.

It was the Irish author Bram Stoker that fused several different vampire legend onto the historical Vlad Tsepes, and created the modern version of a vampire.

My best advice would be to read, read, read. Even the fictionalized vampire stories have some basis in mythology.

Happy hunting!

Actually I'm pretty sure Lilith was the mother of all demons, not sure about the vampire part but the demons I know. When she left the garden she mated with some random unholy creature and spawned a bunch of demons and all that is evil in the eyes of christians.

There is actually a scientific book on the subject that describes the origins of each cultures different beliefs as pertaining to Vampires. It is called "The Book of Vampires" by Dudley Wright. It has actual research done by scientists and the different names that vampires are called by.

I just thought vampires were vampires. They have their own hierarchy within their individual covens, but other than that I thought they were just the undead. Lilith was the first vampire, supposedly the first wife of Adam.

There's blood vampires, sexual vampires, and energy vampires. The blood vamires are the ones everyone knows of who survive off of blood. The sexual vampires are the incubus (male) and the succubus (female) who survive off of you know what. Supposedly Lilith is their queen. And the energy vampires just suck your spiritual energy aura soul or whatever you want to call it.

the only real vampires are the descendants of Nephilin and their fathers the Anunaki ,who need blood ,preferably with a lot of adrennalin from a tortured person ,to maintain their human shape

Count Vlad the impaler was one ,and todays descendents of him include the European Royals.

All other stories are romanticised fiction
