Vampires, Bloodsuckers Options

Hello everybody!

I'd like to talk about vampires. You know- there are people, who sucks out other people energy to feel energized and strenghtened. So! i have a theory - there are certain people, who can survive only from meditation and energies, but at the same time most of all people must feed with food. SO! If there are vampires, that feed from other people energy, couldn't there be vampires, that have been mentioned in every culture in all times all around the world - the real bloodsucker creatures? Think about it! Humans blood holds the part of the human himself - the life juice. So - if this vampire couldn't feed from other people energy, he would suck other people blood! I think it's logical! And - by feeding from other people you should receive part of their positive and negative charasteristics!

Anyone heard something of real vampires and is there anyone, who can share their knowldege about them on this forum? I find it quite possible, that there are some species, that developed differently than we did - they stayed hunters instead of all other people, who became peasants.

Thanks.

The Vatican story is an urban myth. You'll run yourself ragged over that kind of stuff. In my day it was someone who gained entry to the Archives and happened to read a reference to Vampires. Now they are hacking a computer system. You'll never hear a name, date, file or anything that can be corroborated. The net is stuffed full of misinformation and Barnums quote still holds true... "...there's a sucker born every minute..." or somesuch paraphrase. Stick to your hard information, the truth is usually right in front of you. We have a copy of the Vampires Codex (or whatever ) in the library. It is very interesting reading. I know quite a few psionic vampires and a few 'fringe'-element who believe that they require blood/bloodenergy. My personal thoughts about this are not very sociable so I won't publish them...it would be better that you find out for yourselves, then come tell me about it over a good scotch and whatever is en vogue to smoke on a languid evening! We'll have a good time!
