Do you think that vampires exist?

[Albion]

Because the "vampire" myth is not limited to one area of the world.

As we've established, you weren't speaking of a vampire myth at all, just about reports of some unidentified phenomena.

Who do you refer to when you say "we"?

I was not speaking of a vampire myth by your definition derived from movies. I was using the historical mythology definition rather than the entertainment definition.

There are no vampires and never were. While you may be right that legends preceded Bram Stoker, you're not referring to experiences, but to fictitious beings from popular mythology.

Isn't vapirism real?

What about Bill Schnebolen?

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

That said, no, I do not believe that vampires as depicted in fiction are real. I do believe in the North American ape known as sasquatch. I personally know someone that saw one while hunting in northern Minnesota, and he had absolutely no reason to make it up that he saw one. Even Jane Goodall believes in the possibility of sasquatch.

Do vampires exist? No and yes.

Webster's Dictionary offers the following definition of the word vampire:
1: the reanimated body of a dead person believed to come from the grave at night and suck the blood of persons asleep
2a : one who lives by preying on others
2b : a woman who exploits and ruins her lover
3: vampire bat

#1 does not exist. #2a, 2b and 3 do exist

From those definitions we should be wondering if humans exists amirite?

 

[Saint Beloved]

No.
I try not to.

It's likely the vampire myth came from this disease...

Right. Definitions are in order, as there are people who drink blood, shun sunlight, etc. But as far as the existence of the "undead", no such thing.

 

[GirdYourLoins]

I dont, but I know people who do.

It is apparently (so I have been told) a growing belief in what appears to be the more loony conspiracy theory believers that there is a current spate of vampire films designed to make vampires out to be less evil in preparation for them to be revealed to the world as real.

I don't know him although I had heard the name. There are a lot of people running around, writing books, getting on TV shows, and etc. who claim all sorts of things--to be Martians, reincarnated somethings, former leaders of whatever you can name, sorcerers, and so on.

So you dont believe former occult testimonies? Certain ones feel suspect?

Although I don't believe that theory, it surely is the case that the vampire movies of recent years have made the vampire of legend out to be quite different from how he used to be described. No longer a grotesque creature of the night who lives in his coffin and turns into a bat etc., he's become a fairly sympathetic human (albeit with pale skin) who, however, has some sort of a physical disability and so finds it hard finding true love or something else like that.

I believe that there are some people who were once mixed up with occultish groups, yes, but most of those folks who are seen on TV "exposing" secret information to the world aren't credible, no.

I don't think it's worth 43 minutes of my time to find out. The first one seems to be talking about being with Satanists (and there are such people) but I don't know if anything he says is true; and at least some of what the second one says is about Santeria which is a strange non-Western religion.

How can you discern if a testimony is godly?

How can you say vampires are real when cults are involved in it?

Modern day western conception of vampires are not the same as the "vrykolakas" of the Balkans or the 'ghul' spirits of Arabic folklore. Originally the latter were demonic spirits that roamed cemeteries and could shapeshift into the image of those whose bodies would prematurely swell up and stink worse than usual during burial preparation.
