Modern Vamps!

Okay, so the thing I found most intriguing was the modern age vampires and their clubs what they do, ect. I researched several people, starting with Katherine Ramsland. I found this article about her.

It was good read. I also searched Susan Walsh and Father Sebastian, but I wasn’t finding much that was interesting and I was disappointed. Finally when they mentioned the Black Veil code of conduct type thing for vampires I googled it along with Michelle (can’t remember her last name) and Father Sebastian. I found an amazing site. It is SO cool. I’m going to blog about this as opposed to a certain person mentioned in the video. This site has answered like all the questions I had about vampires and more. A lot of the people who post there seem to just WANT to be vampires, not really are. Like one girl who posted about how she was a psi-vampire and she had two friends who were psi-vampires and one who was a sangui vampire. But a lot of the information on the site seems legit. They welcome people interested in learning about vampires, vampyres who are vampire lifestylers and attend the clubs while not actually being addicted to blood, sangui vampires, and psi-vampires who feed off psychic energy of others. And, of course, potential donors. A note, these psi-vampires would like to clarify, apparently, that they are not psychic vampires. The difference is a psi-vampire is a vampire who feeds off emotional energy or some other form of energy, while a psychic vampire is a vampire who has clairvoyance tendencies. The vampires who post do not believe that they are immortal; they do not profess to have special powers. They simply know that they craze blood. They are aware that other diseases have these symptoms but they have slowly eliminated all these possibilities and finally come to this conclusion- they can only be a vampire. They believe they are born this way. You cannot be “turned” by being bitten. The main theory that they seem to support is that blood may be addictive, or addictive to certain people. The psi-vampires profess to get a sort of “high” from feeding off the excess life force of others. They don’t think that their body naturally produces enough of this psychic/emotional energy. I loved the explanation in the video that the most dangerous type of psychic vampires are the ones who don’t even realize that they are. The people who provoke you and get your emotions going and you walk away feeling emotionally drained. I enjoyed reading the site, and I don’t really care if some of it is a work of fiction, the basic idea seems to be real and there is a culture out there that is addicted to blood and energy and feel that they need it. And if there is I don’t have a problem with it. If you get permission from someone to drink their blood then that’s your business. It might be little weird or even creepy, but it’s just a different life style from mine. Maybe I find this easier to accept because I’m use to having to accept the people who consume the flesh of animals with out the permission of the animal. Or maybe I’m just weird. Here’s the website, I suggest you check it out.

This is a really interesting web site. I'm glad you came across it and you were able to share it with us! You know, that psi-vampires theory really does explain a lot about certain people that you run in to at times that leave you emotionally drained. I'm glad that you are so interested in this topic!
