Vampires

Vampires: Creatures of the night that come to drink the blood of the living...

Every culture has their own version of the vampire. In most Asian countries, the vampire is a demon, sent to earth to punish someone. In Africa, a vampire is very similar to a zombie type creature. In Europe, especially eastern sections the vampire is an undead creature. Someone who has been cursed to walk after death. The vampire legends across the world are based on the fear of blood sucking animals or creatures. The thought of losing one's "life force" is terrifying to say the least. If one loses their blood, they will most surely die. No question about that. However the reality is, that no matter how many people claim that they are real vampires, the undead lords and ladies from forgotten times simply don't exist. There is however in rare cases, a disease that causes a person to crave iron, the easiest way to get the iron they need is in blood. Many persons practicing VAMPIRISM are average people, human, through and through. Though in the past VAMPIRISM was practiced by certain people in the belief that it would keep them young forever. The popularity of the vampire has grown since it's beginnings in small villages, this is due in part to the novels of Anne Rice, and, many movies.
