Vampires

Most have heard about these creatures of darkness and evil, but what is really a vampire? Do they exist in real life?

In folklore the vampire is a creature that feeds from blood. They are not living, but not dead either. They were an undead. Most famous for vampires are the eastern Europa, and especially Romania and its province of Transylvania. The later from Bram Stokers novel “Dracula” and from Vlad Tapes, the former ruler of this area. But for most of the world there exist tales of similar creatures as the vampire.

Many believe that vampires where truly victims of different illnesses or diseases. Tuberculosis can often be similar to the reports of people that are told to be victims of a vampire. The tuberculosis patients often get whiter and more and more lacking of energy. That is similar to the symptoms of a victim from a vampire. All causes of anemia will also get similar results. White skin and less energy.

In modern times the Chupacabra is a new type of vampire. Chupacabra is a mystical creature that has been told about since ca. 1987, and with first witness rapport from ca. 1995. It is a creature or animal that sucks blood from goats, hens, and other small household animals. Some people also claim they have been attacked. The name means goatsucker in Spanish, and is a reference till the killing and sucking of blood. It started in Puerto Rico, and has been spread to rest of South and Central America and to USA. It has also been seen in Russia and in the Philippines.

The animal has many descriptions, but is often described as a doglike animal, but also with reptilian feats. Often seen with red, glowing eyes.

What is Chupacabra? The theories are many. Some say it is a runaway experiment, some say it is an extraterrestrial being, some say it is a demon. Also, that it can be a biological weapon has been suggested.

Other modern vampire phenomena, are claimed attacks of vampires. In the 1970 it was rapports of attacks in England. Same in 2005. Most now believe it is only urban legends.  In 2017 in Malawi, Africa there were six persons killed of a mob because they were claimed of being vampire. Similar event happen in 2002.

Other part of the modern vampire is people that choose to live like vampires do. It is often part of interest of more occult things.
