There seems to be a lot of ATS members interested in the possible existence of Vampires...I will do my best to answer any questions people have for a
"modern day vampire". This is an open forum, so any other people who consider themselves sanguine, psychic or both feel free to chime in. Take this
seriously. I will be able to tell if you are a goth wannabe vampire...so if you are don't waste your breath.

What do you mean by modern day vampire? Do they distinguish somehow from the 'old timers' except that they 'live' at present?

A good question. What I mean when I refer to a "modern day vampire" is that the concept portrayed by the media such as in Interview with the Vampire
is very different from the reality. People consider these vampires as seen in the movie to be the classic immortals beginning their vampirism as early
as the 1600's. There is no similarity like that. So it is really a human that matches similar traits, usually, parasitic in nature to that of the
vampires displayed within the common myth and movies. For some it is blood, for others is stealing energy their body craves by going into public
areas, or sometimes as I have done to stimulate anger within someone to gain their energy. When I was younger, I would love to see fights and chaos. I
am not a bad person so much as it was a necessity. Currently I don't insinuate fights simply because I'd rather have the lack of energy from just
public feedings instead of create confrontation which I use to be so keen on.
Some psi-vampires such as myself that have evolved to the point where they feed off energy and do not need blood do have some more classic vampire
traits, though they are much more rare since there is no need for them anymore. Some of the traits I have regarding the classic sense is an enhanced
hearing and eye sight. The enhanced eye sight is not uncommon however and it is basically seeing auras like many normal psychics can see. This helps
in feeding if you are an energy vampire. We are a very visual society so have adapted to that. The hearing was more for the hunt and that allows us to
hear things in a high pitched frequency. I am not sure if it helps with normal more regular tones. I know for instance I can hear a dog whistle,
electronics that may be on, and also water running in the pipes, rubbing up against the metal ever so slightly. There is also fangs. The fangs are not
as prevalent as they are in the movies. But they are still noticeable and many of us are embarrassed by it. For instance at work I try not to open my
mouth. I deal with customers....and scaring them is the last thing you want. Work is bad enough, as I feel I am burning even though the light is
synthetic. Many times my bosses demand me to get out of the light and drink water because apparently I become pale and even at one time I nearly
passed out. I thought I was going to die. There are also pure energy vampires that choose to get the fangs "implanted" or capped on permanently. I
consider this lame, but it helps identify them with other vampires within society. The problem is now that it has become so prevalent you have people
getting them capped on that are just......goths.
But where was I....oh, yes. The traits that make it different from the "old timers" or classic sense of the word vampire is the energy feeding that
has become more prevalent. A lot of people not in the know assume all vampires drink blood, yes, many of us do. But at this point it is really just
old roots and more for a high. Some people distinguish the high as something they need.....it is like a cigarette or a drug. They don't actually need
it, they just need it to feel normal because they have become so use to that high. We don't have super strength or anything. We obviously are not
immortal. I believe it is a potential that some of us may become immortal perhaps in my lifetime, just as much as any human. Thanks to gene splicing
and the like. Of course if everyone is immortal it will lead to complete chaos. I assume only the wealthy will have access to such technology. Also
metaphysical science is beginning to unlock some of the secrets the ancients have known for a long time through things like The Secret, to live
healthier, longer lives. Medical science as well is developing new formulas to keep us alive. Obviously people are living longer than they did in the
1800s.
That is all for now....

Allright, an comprehensive answer. I hope you didn't have to type it all down by your ithink (or whatever it was)  Anyways, I am glad you took
the effort of answering because this clarifies things up for many than just me.
Somehow your post popped down to belowtopsecret, I was confused for a moment - thought that vampires are not allowed up there hehe 
Anyways, I hear you and know what you mean. Energy can be stolen just as any life force. The provocation which you mentioned is easy method as many
people are easily provoked.
Anyways, I must confess that I am not symphatetic towards the path you have chosen. But alas, this is our 'life' in a sense, and we do with it as we
will. This is why we have freedom of choice.
Whatever I may think about your path, I wish you all the best. Take care.
Sincerely,

Lol, well on a side note I became very frustrated with the itouch....I considered typing it on there....but you would really need to be immortal to
have such patience. I went on my alienware to type it....have to roll with the big boys when they move your topic to BTS

Ok, I do reluctantly bring up something as a question. Concerning my 17 year old. During his teenage years, he has developed some anomalies. To
begin with, he has always had sharp small fangs. Everyone teases him. They hurt his lip a lot, and actually bug him a bit every day. In addition,
he is naturally nocturnal, but then kids who like to stay up at night and play video games often are. Lol. However, in his case, he was, from 10
months on, not willing to sleep early, waking frequently. He has always had difficulty going to sleep. For several years he avoids going outside
much during the day, except when he really needs to. He says the sunlight feels like it pierces into him and he keeps covered. Also, he is sick and
low energy a lot. Surprisngly his eyesight is extraoridinary and he sees thousands of stars in the sky when I only see 20 or so. He also sees auras a
bit he reports.
Anyway, we didn't raise him with concepts that it was even possible to have a condition like vampirism. In fact this is not the direction I want
my shy, intelligent, artistic, and sweet kid to go. Sure he's seen a few movies and animes. On our own we have increased his iron intake a bit.
He takes vitamins, and fish oil and eats quite healthy. He's tall and quite thin, and never seems to eat enough, though he doesn't really have a
massive appetite at one time either. But teenage boys are often like that! He read a few of the threads on ATS and on his own says he thinks he
may have this condition as well. We've taken him numerous occasions to the doctor to see why he's not healthy and got many tests done on him.
He's normal.
One thing I never knew was that he had entertained this about himself for a few years, and had actually believed he had a vampire sighting with a
friend. He rarely goes out, but before we moved, he used to walk one of his friends home in the evening when he stayed over or visited. He said they
were walking on the other side of the street, 2 guys around 19 to him. Dressed in expensive black formal cloathes with cloaks that stood out. He
didn't think they were following him after some time, he was checking and was cautious, but he's thought they were vampires and he saw them pause
and look his way. He got the feeling that he kenw that they knew kind of thing. Anyway, he never told me because I would never have let him walk his
friend home even half way!
Basically don't know what it is, but as he brought it up, I felt it might be something to enquire about.

By the way, I've been indulging him with this question. While he seems to be pondering this seriously, I've asked him if he wanted really wanted to
bite someone. The answer is "no" and he's too gentle and even tempered to be interested in any "groups" for this kind of thing. I pointed out
to him yesterday that while those two teeth are a little unusually sharp and pointed, they probably are just a throw back in our evolution. The
intolerance to too much sunlight does run in the family, as my grandmother actually became allergic to the sun, and I always chose shade. I get a
headache in a short time in the sun. And due to my thyroid condition and chronic fatigue syndrome, I've been interested in energy work for a long
time. Also, healing. Aside from ways to learn to protect energy during meditation, its also essential to visualize yourself receiving abundant
energy from God, the Creator, the Source, and replenishing your energy frequently. I've found it helpful. Since he is just beginning to meditate,
he thought this sounded positive.
But I'm still interested in how one decides they are vampire, since my own son has been entertaining this.
