Do Vampire/Werewolf Exist?

Question

Do Vampire/Werewolf exist? If not them why the h**l the word: Vampire and Werewolf exist. Who invented that? Please don't answer if you don't know or make some stupid comment.

Answer 1

Yes they are real. I think that these story's are real. I think that back then humans didn't have as wild imagination as we do now. So they couldn't have been made up.  So there is a truth to it. and the truth is that they are real

Answer 2

They do exist. Denying their existence only gives them strength. It's as if to say that humans don't exist, or magic.

To add to the other poster's answer, the woman's name was Elizabeth Bathory. She would bathe in the blood of her slain chambermaids because she believed that their fresh young blood would retain her own youth.

Vampires are not necissarily the beautiful romantic creatures portrayed in Ann Rice's Vampire Chronicles, and they are not necissarily the hideous and vicious beings as depicted in 30 Days of Night. The same goes for werewolves. There are many misconceptions about these species, due to human fantasy and imagination.

These creatures of the night lurk among us, blending into crowds, bumping into us on the street. They exist in the same way that we exist, only with a bit more mystery thrown in.

Answer 3

Vampires

are mythological or folkloric revenants who subsist by feeding on the blood of the living. In folkloric tales, the undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early Nineteenth Century. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in most cultures, the term vampire was not popularised until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe,[1] although local variants were also known by different names, such as vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to what can only be called mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism.

In modern times, however, the vampire is generally held to be a fictitious entity, although belief in similar vampiric creatures such as the chupacabra still persists in some cultures. Early folkloric belief in vampires has been ascribed to the ignorance of the body's process of decomposition after death and how people in pre-industrial societies tried to rationalise this, creating the figure of the vampire to explain the mysteries of death. Porphyria was also linked with legends of vampirism in 1985 and received much media exposure, but has since been largely discredited.

Werewolves,

also known as lycanthropes or wolfmen, are mythological humans with the ability to shapeshift into wolves or wolf-like creatures, either purposely, being bitten by another werewolf or after being placed under a curse. The medieval chronicler Gervase of Tilbury associated the transformation with the appearance of the full moon; however, there is evidence that the association existed among the ancient Greeks, appearing in the writings of Petronius. This concept was rarely associated with the werewolf until the idea was picked up by Gervase. Shape-shifters similar to werewolves are common in tales from all over the world, though most of them involve animal forms other than wolves.

Werewolves are a frequent subject of modern fictional books and films, although fictional werewolves have been attributed traits distinct from those of original folklore, most notably the vulnerability to silver bullets.[2]

Answer 4

The truth is...they exist but ....not as media and mouth to mouth stories present them...vampires and werewolves were stories invented  to promote fear and set control.

Vampirism existing as a kind of technique some people have to pull vital energy from others...not blood really!SOme people have this trait.and some others (like Dracula or this princess i don;t remember her name) drunk blood not as night creatures.Dracula drunk the blood of the traitors of his family for revenge, and the d**n lady because she was really mad and thought she would stay young(actually she was having bath with virgin blood).It was paranoia, not a fact!

Werewholves were exist too. When Europeans gone to America and tried to slave the native there  and make them christians , the native  there preparing for battles were taking botans and do ceremonies to please their protector(the wolf , who was very important to them) to offer them powers. Drunk as they were and in kind of ecxtacy , thought they were indeed wolves.and Europeans to promote the fear or the rest when they returned at home they said that there were creatures half men half wolves ....somewhat promote a barbarian profile.

Answer 5

I don't know about werewolves, but vampires do. Not in the fictional sense, but in a more realistic way. Best of luck with your search.

Answer 6

maybe but probably not...and they come from people imaginations and old folk stories not sure on werewolf's but stories of vampires have been around for thousands of years...

Answer 7

The word Vampire is just a more fancy name to say parasite (In simple terms). However, in terms of human myhtology a vampire was someone who supposedly sucked the blood from a living person. Although many people will tell you that such a thing is mythology it holds a certain amount of truth. One must understand that the human mind can get very confused when it sees a certain event, especially one that one can not understand. Most of these folk tales are probably true but the people where unable to explain the unknown and thus made up something. Remember what a man does not understands he destroys.

So Vampires are quite real but not in the sense of the hollywood style monsters that you see on TV. They are normal people like you and me but what makes them different from othes is the fact that they suffer from iron defficency in their blood. Very severe iron loss the core molecule that makes up heamoglobin. Now a days you take iron tablets to make up for this but 900 years back people soon discovered that blood was able to save them from dieing. So they drank human blood and were probably caught doing so which resulted in the stories of people at night coming out to feast on your blood. Through in a couple of canebills and the idea of vampirism becomes very real. So vampires are real but in a different sort of way you see.

Similar to this werewolves are of a similar origin. Wer wulf is the original way of saying it and is derived from a variety of european languages. However the idea of werewolves... and other werecreatures goes back as far as 10000 years. Recent evidence found in South Africa hints that these creatures were around already at that time. Werewolvism is a disease in which a) you have a defect in your follicle gene (hair) which results in an overproduction of hair on your body. or b) as one member stated correctly is mainly due to an mutation where human baby can have tendecies to appear like a dog hybrid. a) is more likely with b) occuring like 1/10000000 times.

So to answer your question vampires and werewolves as depicted in books and on TV are not real.

(This section only for the really interested read at your own discretion:

Although this work has not yet been published one can say that at some point werewolves will be real as you see them on TV. Why well its simple all you need is the correct alignment of human genes and anmial genes and you could in theory create a werecreature of semi-intelligence and capable of all those interesting things that we imagine. Just look in the mirror and you have a werecreature in front of you. You might say no but are we not really wereapes? The idea of full moon changes is rubbish. If you are a werecreature you will always look like it and never change.

The first demonic Vampire That came into existences what Created by God, Who turned Adam first wife Lilith into a vamperic demon And even in this day and age People of the Jewish Faith, Are still wearing charms to protect them and their children from the touch of Lilith.......... Now one of the stories as for how werewolves came into existences.... Now in ancient time there were suppose to be certain members of mankind that were born half wolf and half man thru some gentic fault....  The other story is that a man was cursed by Satan after he was kicked out of heaven to become the animal that he is acting like... Thus the werewolf came into creation.... Now since the Catholic Church removed so many pages and so many Chaptes and  books from the Bible it is has become very difficult to read what the bible had to say about such and incident... But there is enought information left in the bible to tell you about Lilith....... But from what I read so far it is accurate as far as the werewolf and Lilith are concern........ So the Bible and Books that were removed from the Bible by the Catholic Church is how the stories of these creatures came into existences............
