are vampires real?

Question

I know alot of you are going to think this question is completely stupid, and maybe it is but who really knows if they're real? I mean of course I don't have hard evidence that says they are, but no one has hard evidence that says they for sure cannot, and do not exist. I'm interested, what do you think?

Answer 1

And here is the long awaited yes. They do exist...it's sad there are so many skeptics here. Anyways If you want you can send a message to me with your email address and I can send you some information on them along with some personal experiances. I hope the people above who answered didn't make you feel stupid, dont listen to the negative answers.

Answer 2

lol. I think they are real. I have a friend named Kayne who says he's a Vampire and tell's me all this stuff. It's cool to listen. I personally love vampires. If people were just infected with some disease then they started ALOT of myths! lol.
Your question is not stupid, some people are just non beleivers! (note the people before me!)

Answer 3

No they are not real though psychic vampires exist. Psychic vampires are vampires who drain the life force(energy) from other people. There are some people who drink blood but they don't have fangs.

Answer 4

Yes, vampires are real, but they are nothing at all like the movies, or even the legends, portray them.

Answer 5

Uh, read a biology book. That's HARD evidence that they don't exist.

Answer 6

there are people who like to think they are vampires that try to dress like them and act like them, they are called fashion vampires. then there are people who take it a step further and actually drink blood, but not directly from people...and they are just kind of creepy

Answer 7

i'll tell you,i asked this question myself,till i reached its answer.
there is a blood disease that's called PORPHYRIAS which are are a group of inherited or acquired disorders of certain enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway (also called porphyrin pathway).
the PATIENT WITH PORPHYRIA SUFFERS FROM PALE BODY AND FACE,SHARP TEETH,AND CLAW LIKE NAILS.
SO IN THE PAST TMES SOME OF THE PORPHYRIC PATIENTS USED TO ATTACK PEOPLE AND SUCK THEIR BLOOD,AND WHEN THE BLOOD REACHES THEIR STOMACHES,THEY GET ALL THE NEED FROM THE SUBSTANCE THEY HAD LACK IN.
but people began to tell myths about vampires who were basically porphyric patients.
but the issues of garlic,and eternal life and other things are only myths.
porphyric patients are broadly classified as hepatic porphyrias or erythropoietic porphyrias, based on the site of the overproduction and mainly accumulation of the porphyrins (or their chemical precursors). They manifest with either skin problems or with neurological complications (or occasionally both).
Porphyria has been suggested as an explanation for the origin of vampire and werewolf legends, based upon a number of similarities between the condition and the folklore that was first speculated upon by biochemist David Dolphin in 1985. His ruminations gave rise to a popular urban legend which accepts this association as factual, though it is historically and factually baseless. Porphyria cutanea tarda presents clinically as a pathological sensitivity of skin exposed to light causing scarring, hair growth and disfiguration. Additionally, it was believed that the patients' missing heme could be absorbed through the stomach, correlating with the legends' hematophagy.
Historical patients
The insanity exhibited by King George III evidenced in the regency crisis of 1788 has inspired several attempts at retrospective diagnosis. The first, written in 1855, thirty-five years after his death, concluded he suffered from acute mania. M. Guttmacher, in 1941, suggested manic-depressive psychosis as a more likely diagnosis, The first suggestion that a physical illness was the cause of King George's mental derangements came in 1966, in a paper "The Insanity of King George III: A Classic Case of Porphyria"[11], with a follow-up in 1968, "Porphyria in the Royal Houses of Stuart, Hanover and Prussia"[12]. The papers, by a mother/son psychiatrist team, were written as though the case for porphyria had been proven, but the response demonstrated that many, including those more intimately familiar with actual manifestations of porphyria, were unconvinced. The theory is treated in Purple Secret[13], which documents the ultimately unsuccessful search for genetic evidence of porphyria in the remains of royals suspected to suffer from it.[14] In 2005 it was suggested that arsenic (which is known to be porphyrogenic) given to George III with antimony may have caused his porphyria.[15] Despite the lack of direct evidence, the notion that George III (and other members of the royal family) suffered from porphyria has achieved such popularity that many forget that it is merely a hypothesis. The insanity of George III is the basis of the plot in The Madness of King George, an American 1994 movie.[16]

It is also suspected that Mary, Queen of Scots--George III's grandmother six times removed--also suffered from acute intermittent porphyria, although this is subject to much debate.

Other commentators have suggested that Vincent van Gogh may have suffered from acute intermittent porphyria.[17]

It has also been imagined that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon suffered from some form of porphyria (cf. Daniel 4).[18] The symptoms of the various porphyrias are so wide-ranging that nearly any constellation of symptoms can be attributed to one or more of them.[citation needed]

The poet Robert Browning, also, notoriously wrote a poem called Porphyria's Lover, which aside from a literal interpretation of the word also compares love itself to a form of disorder.

Paula Frias Allende, the daughter of the Chilean novelist Isabel Allende, fell into a porphyria-induced coma in 1991 which inspired Isabel Allende to write the autobiographical book Paula, dedicated to her daughter.
