Vampires, do they exist?

Question

I've just finished reading the twilight series and wonder if there's a chance of vampires like that existing. I know it's a bit stupid of me but I loved the book so much I want something so wonderful like that to exist. I've researched it and found many different views from different people, scientific and otherwise. If anyone has any answers please let me know.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Absolutely not.

Answer 3

Yes. I'm a vampire. Miaow.

Answer 11

Answer 12

hmm. well ive wondered about many "myths" existing and the only answer i could come up with is that every myth has to have some truth to it otherwise we wouldnt even have the myth.

Answer 13

yes, but only in folklore ;)

Answer 14

...no, and I hope you aren't serious.

Answer 15

Why yes sweetie they do exsist. I am a vampire...rather weird being one but since you will never meet me i figured why not tell you. I have lots of friends that are vampires. We like to be in disguise so no one knows our secret. It's not like you will ever find us

Answer 16

No.

Twilight is just a book, don't take it so seriously.  

Answer 17

well, there are people who get a kick out of drinking blood... i read about it somewhere... there are seriously people who will drink blood as their main source of nourishment... but i don't think they drink it out of people's necks... they get animal blood or something

Answer 18

I just fed last night... so yes.

Answer 19

That's a very good question. I've wondered the same thing before actually. A previous answer said something like, "the myths must have come from somewhere, so yes," I like that answer. It is highly unlikely that vampires exist, simply due to the physics at question. Is it possible to live for thousands of years? We would have to answer that question first. However, both questions are impossible to explicitly answer. For example, to prove that vampires do not exist, you would have to test every person on the planet, and that's impossible (considering the birth/death rate). However, to prove that vampires exist, you would only need to find one. So, the chances that vampires exist is slim, but is not zero.

I would argue that the chances are probably greater though. If there were vampires, they'd be pretty smart, having lived for thousands of years and all. So, they would know to keep their vampirism (or whatever you would call what makes a person a vampire) a secret. Also, since vampires supposedly have super-strength and, as discussed earlier, would be really smart, they could probably murder (or turn into a vampire) anyone who discovered their vampirism without any problem. This would keep the lid pretty tight on any credible vampire sightings.

Moral of the story is: You cannot prove that anything does not exist, you can only prove existence. Just like a scientific theory. You cannot prove something will not happen, you can only theorize what will happen.

Answer 20

no

Answer 21

Yes, vampires do exist. However, vampires are not immortal, nor do they have any of the other characteristics as those portrayed in books and movies. A vampire can not be made.

Vampires are normal humans who were born with an energy dificiency. They obtain this energy from willing people.

There are two general types of vampires: sanguine and psychic.

Sanguine vampires get the energy from blood (usually without biting but with a sharp blade), while psychic vampires can get their energy from chi by touching someone.
