i have read the books watched the films...iam not obsessed with vampires far from it...i was wondering where have all these stories come from was there some real evidence of vampires for people to get out stories from or is it a bored person who made it this character all up?

There is a very rare disease which slows the body's metabolism right down so that they appear "dead". This led to people being buried alive and plays a big part in the Vampire mythos.
Consider the time scale and that medical science wasn't as advanced as it is today and also the fact that people were highly superstitious. Vampire Bats do exist, they feed off Cattle and Sheep, feeding off their blood until gorged and flop down on the ground. This is where the belief that Vampires could transform into Bats came from.
Bram Stoker's Dracula was published in 1897.

Humanus Nocturnus (Vampires) exist alright, how do I know I witnessed one killing an innocent (it tried to attack me but couldn't due to the fact that I happended to have my sword that I practise with with me) and since then I have encountered 50 vampires so far. Also my ancestor is the vampire Lazarus Blood.

It is called fiction, made up, invented, not real, not existing outside of the imagination.
