National Geographic videos: Are vampires real?
National Geographic hosts an array of really interesting short videos, ranging from Science and Technology (my favorite of course ;-)) to Animals and History.
“I *am* a vampire.
I *do* consume human blood…”
It is well worth a visit and it’s a guarantee that everyone will find a topic of interest (well, at least everyone with a thirst for knowledge…)
Also interesting is another NG show, a proper “treatment” of dubious, paranormal, or psychic stories using reasoning, logic and science. The preview video (at least the one I saw at the time of my visit) shows a guy that claims to be a vampire that sucks blood out of “consenting” people. Apparently, there are people willing to volunteer for such blood sucking/feeding procedures

I never thought that a regular man would choose to be a consumer of the blood of humans. Are you not human? Afre you intouch with a different energy? I do not ask for answers as my youthful mind is already filled with many questions.

It is difficult to try and justify someone’s actions when they are so strange! And apparently there are many such vampires! It might be that they’re doing it as lifestyle choice just to cause reactions or just to impress. Who knows…
3. Melbourneshadow
I wish to find out the truth about vampire’s, and one day maybe even meet one if they are out there. If you know or have any info e-mail me.

5. sciencebitches
Who is this?!? Anthony Hopkins, is that you?
6. Melbourneshadow
Who is Anthony Hopkins?? And why would he be here.
7. sciencebitches
Don’t you watch movies? I though since you liked vampires you have probably seen Coppolla’s Dracula.
8. Melbourneshadow
I have seen alot of movies about vampire’s and then started to think that the best place to hide something, is right in frount of people.
9. sciencebitches
sorry, are you implying something about the existence of movie-like vampires?
Or do you just accept that mentally problematic or deluded people like the one in the video pose as vampires for unknown to us reasons?

10. Melbourneshadow
No, I think if there are vampire’s they are most likely nothing like in the movie’s. What I’m saying is. If you want to hide something from some one, the best place to put it is right out there where people can see. As for mentally problematic or deluded people, the world is full of people who are like that to us, but to then self’s and some other’s they are just the same. Sorry this post is so long, I could not think of another way of puting it.
11. Melbourneshadow
I think I’ve had a change of heart. I am no longer look for vampire info. I am now looking for a vampire. If I can find one I will have all the info I need. I do belive my e-mail address is already here but if not you can contact me on p_bridge@iinet.net.au
I will not give up, I never do.
I will not give up, I never do.
12. ana
i think you are kool i believe in vampires im not scared of them i find it sexy
13. shadows
we are many but we are hidden. the world doesn’t look upon us too kindly. we are “abominations” and “monsters”. though most of us never take from anyone who doesn’t consent. we are harmless. the world is just blind and refuses to open its eyes
14. Melbourneshadow
I know that you mean Shadow, the world see’s me in the same light. I am not a vampire but we share some of the same curse’s. My eye’s can not handel UV light and if I stay in direct sunlight for any longer len a few minutes I pass out. That’s why I start’d looking for vampire’s.
15. kiki

17. Shadows
yes, i’m a vampire. and to answer the question of how i “became” one… i was born this way. my mother was human and my father a vampire. Technically i’m a “half-breed”
no i am not like “Blade”
i am still vulnerable, but i do need to consume blood. if anyone wishes to know more leave your e-mail. i will contact you.

I look forward to hearing from any of you.
30. Lana
okay this is awesome. Im only 16 and Iv been told all the time vampires rnt real but I still dont know so Iv been trying to figure out the truth for a couple years now. Iv always had hope that they were real, so Im glad I found this site 
thank you!
thank you! 
31. Paul
I have yet to find a vampire. The people I’ve seen so far and all wantabe’s and I have no time for that. So I thought I would try a diffrent way. I have heard there are vampire’s out there looking for blood and well I have a body full of it drug free. If there are any out there who do not fear me there you can send me an e-mail at
melbourneshadow@iinet.net.au
Have a nice day.
melbourneshadow@iinet.net.au

32. L.T.
I’ve always thought vampires were real because it didn’t make sense to me that someone just made up an vampire out of nowhere. I always thought someone had to have seen one to come up with it. Maybe it is true but I need to see it to believe it.
33. shadow
While I can’t speak for other vampires as i’m not a full-blood I can tell you that I personally hate the hollywood stereotype. We do not burst into flames in the sun, on the contrary, most of us have normal jobs just like you. And while we do consume blood, it doesn’t need to be on a daily basis (at least not for me). A lack of blood for too long, however will deteriorate my health and can eventually lead to death. (But this takes quite a while seeing as i haven’t had a donor in about 6 months) Do not be afraid of us. We are not the throat-ripping monsters hollywood paints us to be. Nor are we the whack-jobs society seems to think we are. We are real, we are here. Accept it, or reject it, it’s the truth.
34. Stavros
well, I have been a mere listener for such a long time, but seeing how this discussion keeps coming back to life every now and then, I though I should just ask my questions:
shadow,
you are actually saying that you are simply a human with the occasional thirst for blood. How is this explained biologically? Is this supposed to be some kind of mutation? And if you don’t drink blood how can you be sure that your weakness (and seemingly decline to death as you say) is not just a psychosomatic effect? Have you had yourself examined by a doctor?
And what’s with the teeth? It’s my understanding that this is a cosmetic after-market thingy? What’s the purpose? Or is it another mutation that just happens always with the blood-sucking mutation?

hello
,
i came across this while looking for real vampire information. i’ve read all the comments on this page. so many of you are simply fasinated,lost,young and confused. there are real vampires. they tend to stay in the “shadows” simply because that is how it has been for a very long time. the movies are largely false and very much exagerated. blood is needed for the essence it contains. sunlight only weakens. don henri is a real vampire and an exsessive young one, too thirsty for his own good. i believe one other real vampire to be Lord Toph. i believe this because of research. i advise all to google him and look for yourselves. i must depart.

I checked Lord Toph…..if he is a vampire why is he apparently with a famous actress? wouldnt this be working against being hidden - and also how come he is so out there with regards to his music etc etc? kind of seems ridiculous for something thats meant to be secret….
my msn is athena.1983@hotmail.com if you want to talk

48. Jack Barber
waaaaaiiittt a minute…. this is to Athena. you’re asking about this Lord Toph guy and asking if he’s a vampire, why is he apparently with a famous actress? but um…..is it just me, or am i watching a video that was on NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC with Don Henrie, a guy who was also on a reality t.v. show, in the eyes of America every night for a while, constantly reminding us that he’s a real vampire and that they do exist? now how hidden is that? hahaha now THAT seems ridiculous for something that’s meant to be secret. i hate when people are biased. ha i actually check Lord Toph out and he’s not half bad. i didn’t see anything of him sayin he’s a vampire, but i can see where one would think so. maybe he is. i know there’s real vampires out there. i’ve seen them, and i mean REAL ones. i’m convinced that these guys are real vampires
49. Athene
Hi jack
I am not biased at all actually. They both do seem really ridiculous to me - and that is not because I dont believe in Vampire (i do) its because they so blatantly put themselves out there. Why would they do that?? It looks like they want to capitalize on the vampire-hype. Btw, go google some of Lord Tophs songs, try reading between the lines as all his songs have a deeper meaning and then you will find the parts where he claims to be a vampire. And, yes there are real vampires out there, and I believe they have more intersting things to do than go on tv.

60. Phelonie
Really? Is Lord Toph a vampire or an artist that portrays the role? I am looking for someone that can give me advice on the lifestyle of a true vampire as I have a desire for human blood myself but can’t find anyone around me that will willingly donate it…I seek the advice of someone who really knows what I am talking about. If you can advise me my email is queen_o_hearts157@hotmail.com
Sincere Thanks,
Phelonie
Sincere Thanks,

61. Shadows
Stavros and Charlie: No, we are not humans. stop calling us that. there are humans who want to be vampires and will claim it. however they do not have a physical NEED for blood. they only crave it either for the taste or because it’s “cool”
and Phelonie… blood is not something you “desire”. To a vampire its a much higher thing. To a vampire its a physical need… not something you can ignore.
to those of you who keep asking to be “turned”: first off, before we go any farther, NO i won’t do it. second, trust me, it’s not something you want. and even if it were, we have rules and you cant just go turning anyone. so if you get someone to do it, more power to you. but don’t be surprised if we’re all reluctant.
To those of you who have requested to speak with me specifically, I apologize, i get a lot of messages and I cannot respond to everyone. So, to those of you still waiting on a response, if I think you’re worth the time to talk to, expect a message within the week.

Thanks for your time
Thanks for your time
63. Amber
I am not even sure why I am posting something here, for all I know it is just a hoax :~} But I am interested in talking to a real vampire, if there really is one. I believe they are real and that they are out there, but, I am not sure if there are any real ones here that have actually posted. If you are a REAL vampire, and wouldn’t mind taking the time to talk to me, I would really appreciate it. My email is; AGSTUMP@aol.com, thank-you.

My life was not meant to be hazy. I came here for a purpose, a directness of higher learning. When I took my first breath my sight was gone. My hearing faded, my thoughts became fuzzy. I became an infant of the universe and infinitesimal baby of life. I try so hard to remember my reason for this chance encounter with the world. I choose this existence…but why? I go thru the day-to-day playground of childhood re-learning the basics, always knowing there is a driving force behind my heartbeat. I need to learn, to know…to grow. My purpose will become clearer, my driving desire stronger the harder I look. Images flicker in my projector like memory. I have done all this before. What am I to learn that I don’t already know in the essence of my soul? I remember my mother universe and my father world as great lights in the beginning. I remember mother earth and father nature when I walked this world before. What am I waiting for? I have the seeds for eternity in my soul and I am about to set them in the soil to grow along the path of enlightenment, my reason seems clear now. I am meant to make a memory of the universe for the people I touch with my being. I am not quite done with this world, but when I am it is time to release the binding strings of this life. It is time to choose another lesson on this planet, I will see you all again, for another purpose of higher learning.

hi shadows. i’m not a vamp., although for many years i have had them in my dreams. in fact,in my dreams they are the norm, and everyone else is not.i have visited many sites, read so much about them over the years, seen tv shows, movies ect. and still i search for moreinformation, consider various opinions and views.the more i know, the more i want to know. like an empty vessel…anyway,just wanted to say i agree with you. so many young people asking to be changed…they are looking for something, yes? like an escape, romance, excitement…curious perhaps. will continue this comment…..
67. shell
to continue: you are right. the physical need for blood can be a powerful thing, a personal and protected thing. not something to be shared lightly. i can understand your reasons for being selective. after reading all of these comments posted, i think that they want something now, and they think it will make them happy. solve all their problems, or satisify their curiosity, or whatever…but what about tomorrow? or the next day? someone asked how many vamps. are out there. if you knew, would you be frightened or comforted? speaking for myself, i would actually take comfort in knowing so many were around me. as i said before,they are the norm in all of my dreams. shadows, if you would like to contact me, it would be a pleasure to talk to you. my e-mail is:sea_shell_04 @yahoo.com. thank you.
68. Stavros
I will now close comments for this post. Anyone still wishing to get in touch with some of the “vampires” that have commented here please do so through other means.
Thanks
