Vampires are real on many different levels.
When you talk about vampires, most people think of blood suckers. There most certainly are blood vampires.
I've only ever drank my own blood; sucking on a wound, or laying on my back with a bloody nose. Nose blood; not the greatest, but I wasn't totally grossed out. Wound blood; not so bad. So even as a complete non-vampire, I can't claim that I regard human blood as a completely disgusting thing to drink.
As for the vampires I've met, drinking blood is an amazing and wonderful thing. It's all about that life force energy, and blood carries that energy. Many say that just reaching out and draining someone of their energy is the greatest high, but drinking blood adds a thrill of sensuality. Feeling as it enters their mouth, still warm. Swallowing, physically taking the life-force inside of them. Tasting someone from the inside. They talk about it as a real thrill. Amazingly sensual.
Also, AB negative blood is supposedly the tastiest. It's a little sweeter than most blood. They say that an AB negative diabetic is like a candy apple.
There are communities of blood vampires throughout America, but they are very private, and they look just like everyone else. Not all vampires are goth. There could be a vampire living next door, and you'd never know.
Many people drain those around them of life force energy, but there are some who can do it purposefully. They have the ability to reach out and drain a person's energy, and some are better at it then others. Some can contact you from far away in the vision realm after having looked you in the eyes and made a karmic connection, and take your energy. But the best is when they can just reach out and take it, draining a person until they fall on the floor. They say it's far better than caffeine. These are the energy vampires.
One time I was doing energy work and had a sign up which said, "Energy". Several energy vampires came to the booth thinking that it was like a bar for vampires to get energy. They might have gotten some energy from it, but mostly I learned a lot about how vampire energy works. What most struck me was that all the chakras were open except for the base chakra which was completely blocked. One wore shoes with extremely thick rubber soles to help block the grounding energy. They didn't draw energy from the earth, and grounding limits the excursions into the vision realm.
I have a good friend who can willfully drain energies. She's the only energy vampire I know who only 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.
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. She looked down again, and looked up and he was sitting 10 feet from the window. Just intense calm looking at her. She immediately closed the blinds realizing that she had just had an encounter with a real vampire, although she recognized him as a kindred spirit. Had she left the blinds open, there is no telling what could have happened to her.
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. So there might be another kind of vampire out there also. The vampires of myth and legend might be roaming the earth after all. My personal theory is that they would be magickal beings, like faeries only far darker, and far more dangerous.

I like the taste of blood... mmm.
But the vampires you read about don't exist...
Number one canine teeth are used for gripping and tearing not penetrating... real vampires would have sharp incisor teeth, which are the two front teeth.
Number two if vampires lived forever there'd be billions of them. (We humans live for about 70 years and already there's 6.6 billion of us)
Number two sanguivorism (wanting to drink blood) causes major nutritional problems and vampires in a human form would quickly become malnutritioned if it lived soley on blood.
Also drinking only blood causes a lot of excess water to be passed so vampires would have to be pissing constantly to keep up otherwise their bodies would become utterly bloated.
If vampires of any kind exist I'd say they'd drink blood to get their protein (instead of red meat etc) and because they like the taste.

The "reality" of mythological beings is often misunderstood; however, they do "exist". In other words, yes, Virginia, there is a Dracula.
I quote:
Dear Editor—
I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O’Hanlon
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
While that was written about Santa, is as true for other myths as well. It is as important to the human psyche to have dark supernatural beings as it is to have light ones. As Woody Guthrie says, you can't have a light without a dark to stick it in. Vampires strike a chord within us. They fascinate us. The idea of vampires resonates within our collective subconscious. How can they not be "real". Are you going to meet one at your next party? Probably not. Still...there are more things in heaven and on earth than are dreamt of in your philosophies, Horatio.

i think that at some point and time many things existed, lake monsters, spaceships, dragons definitely, and possibly vampires. what else could have inspired people to write about strange creatures, and stuff like that. people born with deformities are turned into legends and people are very scared of things that are different. its all possible.

How do you define "vampire"? Undead being that dies and comes back to life to feed on blood with supernatural powers. Then, no. A living person who calls him or herself a vampire, drinks blood, and dresses in goth styles. Then, yes.

vampires still exist and always will, but they look some much like humans you could've talked to one and not even know it.

No, vampires do not exist, however, some people have medical disorders that can make them more vampire-like.
