Real vampire myths, exaggerations, and facts

This page is here to help you seperate the myths from the facts about vampires. As it is often true about other things, most fiction is based on some fact, so for those things this page will also cover exaggerations about real vampires. The things that you will find on this page are not up for debate, although there are a lot of self proclaimed vampires that will no doubt argue with some things that are on here. Because they falsley believe themselves to be vampires and think that since it isn't true for them that it isn't true for real vampires. However if it wasnt accurate about real vampires, I would not have it on this real vampire website.

The vampire myth/claim/belief	myth, exaggeration, or fact,	The real vampire explanation in detail.
Real vampires dont need blood, they only need some part of blood, or just energy.	myth	A real vampire needs blood, but doesnt need it for a psychological or medical reason, and at the same time gets a few perks. For those who think that having just an energy problem makes them a vampire, try looking in to the classic symptoms for Hypochondria, Psychotic Depression, Reinfelds, Depression, Hypothyroidism, Insomnia, Sleep apnea, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome aka CFS, Fibromyalgia, Eating disorders, damage obesity does to the body, Porphyria, blood fetish, hemophilia, Myasthenia gravis, and Anemia, just to name a few. In other words if you think you are a vampire and your reason for thinking it is that you feel low on energy often, or for others who even have the thought that you need blood to feel normal. Then contrary to what people in the "vampire community" tell you, go see a medical professional, this includes combination of seeing a psychologist and some one with a PHD and get checked. Not to mention if it was an energy reason, animals blood would not work half as well as it does. Those who think blood is just a matter of being a nutritional source for real vampires. Keep in mind that nutrtitional supplement drinks today have much higher amounts of the nutrients and minerals that a persons body needs than blood has. Nutritional supplements dont have the same effects for real vampires as blood does for real vampires there for it is not a simple case of nutrition.
Sunlight kills real vampires	extreme exaggeration	Sunlight wont kill a real vampire. However do to a heightened sensitivity to it, just like we have with basically everything else. It does cause an uncomfortable burn like feel, almost like what a normal person feels while they have a sunburn. That feeling happens well before we have a sunburn at all. It also makes us sun burn more quickly, and get severe migraines. Not to mention is very uncomfortable to a real vampires eyes, at times even while in a shadow during an overcast. Getting blood on a reguluar basis helps counter this very effectively and for the average vampires it blocks the sune effects for about 2-3 days.
Real vampires are undead	myth	Real vampires are not undead creatures or monsters. This myth most likely comes from the dracula stories that are only barely based on the real Romanian hero Vlad, and or from the medical condition known as Catalepsy. Story goes Vlads death, happened at a fairly young age do to his own brother betraying him resulting in his brother helping kill Vlad by encasing him in a casket and letting him die buried alive. After the clergy that used Vlad's brother as a pawn to make this happen knew that Vlad was dead, they made it quite clear to his brother what he had just done. The claim of vampires being undead branches from Vlad bones apparently not existing inside of the casket that he was buried alive in. truth is the bones would not be in there because his brother after learning the truth, would have dug him up, then given him a new casket and a proper burial to honor his brother Vlad. This story in itself couldnt be farther from the truth, For the true story about Vlad Tepes click the link.

Back when superstitions, fears of witches, vampires, werewolves, zombies and other monsters ran rampant. Basically back when it would have been impossible to get a willing donor, and forensics was virtualy nonexistant real vampires distant ancestors most likely did kill for blood, however that no longer happens and hasnt happened for quite some time.
Real vampires have fangs	myth	Lots of places and things say this about vampires, its hard to say where it comes from, however that doesnt make it true. It could also come from every natural carnivore and every scary monster notoriously having big canines. Semi related real vampires canines do seem to get sharper by themself when needed, however they are not insanely long and they do not grow.
