Yes....
A Vampire is simply a being that can't create enough of it's own spiritual energy to support itself, so it must get it from another source. They are believed to have a hole or damaged spot in their astral/spiritual body. This is a lot like a paper cup with a hole in it. You continue to pour water into it but it slowly leaks all of it out. No matter how much water you pour into it, the cup never stays full. This is the technical definition of what exactly a Vampire is. So most feed on raw energy of the spirit some do drink blood....they are not immortal but some do heal rapidly and rarely get sick....some even live for a while longer...They also do tend to be photosensitive so sun hurts but doesn't kill...garlic and holy water don't do anything but because many have really keen senses the smell of garlic may be unpleasant....they die just like anyone else in the same ways....
Some are "goth" and like to dress like a "movie vampire" a lot don't. The ones you've seen on "The secret lives of Vampires" aren't that great either...not bad but not true to their condition...they try to play it up a bit for TV and not to inform the public...Vampirism is really more a a burden than anything.... Also the consumption of blood(which a lot vampires don't do either) is not recreational. It's how they get the extra energy they need to survive...let me explain more
Most vamps would classify themselves as either Sanguinarian(blood drinking) or Psi(energy draining) both are different ways of accomplishing the same thing...getting prana or life force energy to keep them well...though some may claim the sang and psi are different they are one in the same..it's just the different ways they prefer to feed that sets them apart...nothing more. sang or psi is a choice. any Vampire can feed on any type of energy...
They are not role playing or crazy..thy just have a spiritual deficiency ...they're not sexy or psycho killers or anything like in movies...they're people and are just as varied and diverse and unique as any other group of people
Weres as well
The closest thing to Weres are Therians...
Well to some being a Therian/Werekin means that their soul is not that of a human but that of an animal the wolf is very common.... It affects the way they do things the way they think and how they behave and their body language. This is very personal and special for them...it shapes how they've grown up and matured in many ways. They identify as the animal.
To others a Therian is simply a person who has animal sides..or thoughts. Some don't believe they have animal souls but merely thoughts and habits of animals. Others feel that a Therian is one who feels close connections and kinship to an animal but don't actually claim to be (wholly or partially) that animal. Other people believe that the animal spirit resides within them along with the human one. The spirit of the animal is viewed as a separate entity and not the soul of the host. More of a spirit guide type thing.
There are PLENTY of interpretations of Therianthropy, far more than those listed here. In all actuality you CAN'T truthfully define therianthropy or accurately state what it means to be a Therian because even us Therians don't really know. It's such a personal interpretation and to try to define it is to limit what it is and can be. Therinathropy is a spiritual thing and it's different for every one...so why do we need to try to define it? Some even claim to be able to change physically...most don't if this can happen most would say no but we truly aren't sure.... Shifts and changes are not controlled by the moon. Most of us DESPISE the term Lycan....for many reasons...

In the mythological sense, no. However in some ways there are 'vampires' and 'werewolves'.
There are groups of people who do drink each others blood for the pleasure f it. They consider themselves to be 'vampires', but dont' think the think it will keep them young forever or that they are the undead. They d it generally in a sexual context, and can be linked to drug use and self harm/mutilation/body modification.
There are the children (mexican) called the wolf boys becasue of the amount of hair on their faces and bodies. There is also the case of the boy who lived his first 12 years only with dogs (not mowgli, just a very sad case of child neglect). Also, it has bee proven that the moon can affect human beings (the word 'lunacy' coning from the latin for moon 'lunar'). Murders, rapes and general antisocial behavious tends to increase arond the full moon. If you find it hard to believe that, think of it like this. The gravitational pull form the moon affects the tides (ie water). Human bodies are composed of 75% water....You do the math!

Yes. And it's spelled "Werewolves". Not only that, vampires and werewolves(the preferred term is "Lycian") are mortal enemies of each other. I also have a friend that's a Lycian and a friend that's almost a vampire. Freaky, isn't it?

I believe in demons. Demons transform themselves into all kinds of things to decieve people. Vampires are demonic and so are warewolfs. Satan and his evil angels go throughout the world and transform themselves into evil identities. I have experienced the demonic realm and know how they opperate. I am a Christian thank goodness. Jesus is more powerful than Satan. Satan is a defeted foe.

No, not in the movie sense, however i do understand there is people who believe they are. I have heard some even act it out, because their mind is convinced they are.

not, not in the direct sense.
i do believe in human vampires though, the kind of people who pretend to be nice to you, but just take, take and take instead of giving.... they suck all of the emotional energy out of you.
