It is a very high possibility. I would have to say yes. I know MANY people would disagree on the case of vampires, saying that it would be impossible because the entire world would be vampire infested, but listen!
To become a vampire a person would have to be bitten somewhat. By 'somewhat' I mean that not all the blood in their body is drained (or at least most of it). This would indicate that there would be very few vampires since I THINK that it would be hard to control the urge of the scent of blood when they are trying to only jab them with their fangs. People also say that they can turn into bats and sleep in coffins. 1) They possibly only think they turn into bats because they lurk in the dark, as to bats, and when they thought they spotted a vampire and chased it about, they would find bats. 2) I don't know about the coffin thing. I suppose its possible... I mean it would be quite comfy, and not a lot of people would go and open a coffin now would they?

Dracula was a story produced by Bram Stoker whereby vampire bats that do really exist was transformed into human kind to create a horror story and that is all it is. Vampires were derived from Dracula to invent an independent story. I don't believe vampires exist at all.

the famous vampire was dracula,, based on a 11th century count in romania, his castle exists today, said to impale people on sticks, bathe in their blood,
there are people who have formed a cult, where they live in darkened rooms, and cut each other and drink this persons blood, as you would a cup of tea when they go out in sunlight because they are so pale in pallor, the light hurts them. so you can say these are the modern day vampires, a couple of years ago there was a programme about them forget was channel.

yeah there was a story of a vampire that actully happened in the 16th century, there was a person that was called dracol and lived in a country that we now call Romania, and there is a church and a castle by his name there, he didnt suck people's blod, but he was at war and used very bloody methods, and he was who aspired the irish writer about dracula...
i'm sorry i dont remember exact names i read all this once before a long times...
and there is another actual event that inspired for vampires, that there was a queen who used to bath her self by the blood of the most beuatiful girls on the city she lived in so that she would get more beautifull....

There are a few people who drink human blood. But they're weirdos and misfits.
As for immortal super creatures that cannot be killed. Nahhh.
All comes from old folk tales.
But Bram Stoker who wrote Dracula based the character on a historical figure - Vlad the impaler - a cruel warlord who also had a family name of dracul, dragon in Romanian

He had a nasty habit of killing his enemies (many) by sitting them on sharpened spikes and leaving them to slowly die as gravity made the pole slowly force its way up through their body. Ouch!
He's said to have the populations of entire towns killed this way and often sat down for a meal amongst the stakes holding his still living victims. You'd think twice before going to dinner with him!

I don't think I can rationally believe in them, but I am still haunted by the book 'The Hunger' by Whitley Strieber (also the film with Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie).
Bram Stoker's book, Dracula also scared the life out of me.

I don't believe in vampires when it's a bright, sunny day... but when it's a dark night and there's a storm outside, well, then I tend to believe a little more....

No I don't. Right now I am not so far from transylvania, having lived there for a while, but I didn't get bitten once despite chucking out the garlic and hanging the crucifixes upside down. Damn!

No, they have been proven in history books at my school library that they do not exist, however, there are various vampire animals, that might evolve, probably not though.

There are Vampire cults. I do not believe in a living dead creature.
