The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Woohoo! I can finally post my own thread!

I'm interested in knowing what led you all down the "dark" path? How did you become interested in vampires, witches, etc..? Do you find it comforting, or is it something you had to become comfortable with?

i'm a loner by nature and have found that most people ignore me if i am this way...then it grew on me and i got more and more into it

for me i know i was something but i did not know what til i read alot of books most of them did not help til i talked with afriend of mine she help out alot that is how i become a psy vamp

i found inner peace. i am a predotor by nature. i enjoy the hunt. i use dark emotions to my advanteges. but i use them to help otheres, to protect otheres. i found a place in this world where i could be myself and that place is on vr (i know sounds corny but its the truth lol)

i dont really know ive always been interested in all this since i was little.

well i like the fact that there is darkness and nothing is ever always cheerfull. happy people scare me

lothrin, that doesn't sound corny at all...i haven't made any new "real" friends in years...i feel much more comfortable online.

It's always interested me. People would always call me 'dark' and it confuzed me. Then I actually started looking into 'dark stuff' and they seemed to have changed their minds after I got 'darker'. It just seemed to embrace and welcome me. I've accepted this way of life, and I find comfort in it.

Side Note: And when I say 'dark', I don't mean black clothes, dark make-up or any of that. Basically they reffered to my actions, personality, and the things I was into. Or am into...

It's more like how far can i shine my light of life? I didn't joinbecause i'm dark and dank and mysterious, in fact i have no secrets **ask me anything and i cannot tell a lie** I joined here because i'm a giver, i like to help and sense i joined, i've somehow got 45+ friends or so and always trying to help or just brighten their day. I'm one of those happy people that some on here might and shouldn't be afraid of. I joined, because i found a place that i could shine my light out and not be afraid, because what's the worst that'll happen? Expulsion from the site, okay i'll still try to shine if not here elsewhere.

For me it would have to be because I think they are so damn sexy! Why do I find them sexy? I am not sure, it has just always been in me.

It is always difficult to be outside of the 'norm.' And yes, it does take time to become comfortable in ones' skin.

I think it had to do with some little chick hitting me in the head with a pool cue when she was five....haven't been quite right in the head since.....
hehehhe
wonder who that could have been oblyvia?
hehehhe
actually I was born dark

I am considered a 'nice' person in life but I have a dark side too...I decided to feed it here and now I LOVE it here...

It was the death of my grand father to make me understand that where I was and what I believed in my life was all just a lie. So I started researching religions and came across witchcraft and wicca. Then from there I started exploring into thing like Vampires and Demons and things of that nature and I have been stuck on it ever since.

me i am here to learn more about the so called dark side

Nothing really, I wouldnt call it dark path......

Thera
what would you call it, just wondering

well I saw my first horror movie when I was only 3 and fell in love with freddy Kreuger.. the rest is history..

i dont know how i came across it. but i know i never had to get used to it, if i did i wouldnt like it.

Daermon, I have no idea what you're talking about *grin*

And vampires are sexy. Indeed.

well. i wouldn't say i am dark or twisted but all my friends would say other wise. I am a lonely soul whose been rejected by like almost everyone in this world. joined up with a band of rejecteded people and well the rest is history. we all just ended up piling someplace and started hanging out it was almost like a summoning. no word was said on the first day and then we were all the suden best of friends. call me wierd but i say i was destined to be this way to have these wonderful friends i have that reminds me all the time i am a psycho like them evry time i deny it. =)

my background wss very shity so i guess i .... yeah. don't wanna talk about it..

Simple, I kind of expected a couple of posts like yours....many people get into the occult and such for reasons they don't want to talk about.

Buenas dias Corazon, me too! 2 of them are on here, the group that I finally fit in with! Unfortunately, we all live in different cities now, but the internet is a glorious thing!

I have always been on the more darker path. Ever since I was a kid I can remember being interested in magic and ghosts. Even gothic things. Anything to do with magic and psychic abilites were pretty much forbidden to talk about. When I got older I did more research on my own and figured out my own way of life.

I was born into it. Both my parents were vampires and learn of the old ways from our books, not the internet or some fiction writer. I am a decendent from the Carpathian Vampires. Very comfortable with it. Actually have been rejected by more people on this site than anywhere else because Isay that, but thinking they are just RP or jealous or both. LOL

One day when I was a little kid..death smiled... and I smiled back. Been into the dark ever since.

I dotn want to burst your bubble (happy first thread btw!) but you may find some good answers in the tiems this thread has been done before... which si quite a few.

Once again I say... what is dark? I try to find the beauty in life, as you only get to live it once. I think life is a matter of perspective more than anything, and its that which makes you seem like you are going down a certain, but really its your own self-discovery, whereevr you wish to find yourself.

Um, ya, ok.

Why do you presume that you only live life once? I tend to believe that's the least likely option.

only living once.....what can you really learn in only one lifetime?
silly concept

I always liked the occult, mystery,vampires,night,moon,myths, etc....

But I want to know what do you mean by dark life?Why is it always associated with sadness?

Like I said before I always liked this type of life,but I also like rainbows,the pink colour,colourful faires...

I more the less grew up around it. My mother practiced magick and my father dabbled in the ocult aswell. So guess i was used to it and kind of adapted it.

i dont think there is a 'dark side'. Makes Life sound like Star Wars. I only joined this site because my friend published his poetry here and i decided its members needed to see more of the green of life instead of the black. Other than that, I'm a loner that likes to see people in pain. Its kinda like escatasy

heh Wolfie :)
I agree
And yeah, I don't think that there is dark/bright way of life..
It's just like that
I love those things since I can remember, so...
I am what I am :)

I did not choose this... I was born with it... Not a curse but a blessing that no one else can have... It is specially for me...
*~Gylanah~*

I never knew any other way to be.....

You mean I could have been one of the shiny happy people?

Hell no..... this is who I am...and if I was one of the shiny happy people, I'd have to shoot myself!

What led me down this path? Well let me just say certian people get on my nerves and this (vampires,witches,etc.) is the only way I can deal with these certain problems of mine. I am also a loner most of the time and everyone in my ton is more consurned with the goernment and christianity, than dealing with their own problems on their own. They all start to pray when their house catches on fire, a tornado hits, etc. When instead they could get the water(or gasoline, whatever you prefer) get to the basment or the nearest tree (it's actually pretty fun, yes I may be insane and i may just be sitting here with my own thoughts) and deal with their problems instead of kneeling and praying (waiting to get killed). Sometimes I wonder if everyone in my town goes to the government for answers instead of solving their own arguements with their own way of justice. who all agrees with me? you can tell me or you don't have to I was just wondering.

ummmm thought inspiring, but honestly.. I condemn no one... you know the karma thing. you do your thing I do mine.. dont judge me.. I wont judge you.

i saw a movie bout vampires and i fell in love with them...and i have just been like well man i am can't help it......

This way of life was not so hard to take. I live during the day as someone posing to the world just to maintain to societies needs. When darkness falls my real life begins. It was not so much vampires, werewolves, etc. etc. Just that the darkness the night life is much more exciting you get to be free !!

Deathnitegrl...being of Darkness does not have to be depressing.....there is an ethereal beauty to the night....mists traveling along a moonlight feild....the cry of a wolf singing to his lover in the night.....the sweet quiet that descends on even our bustling cities as they sleep....
the dark is not always depressing.....it is this quiet beauty which has always drawn me.....the day is vibrant and bright.....the night is romantic and subdued.....

Gorey, intelligence should tell you that something must be behind the wall, otherwise the wall itself is useless.

There is a lot of proof that there is life after death, so much so that its the only things all religions agree on! If you can't find any, you are intentionally ignoring it!

For everyone who questioned my wording ala "dark side", I was merely using the easiest term available. Not everyone here is goth, vampire, etc....so I figured dark side covered it all. If there is a new fandangled PC term for those who venture down this path, do let me know.

Not everyone on this site is "dark." dark makes it sound like everyone here is evil. some just want answers and companionship. "outsider" merhapes would have been a better term than dark, yet still not accurate. it's hard to come up with a term because there are so many different ppl on this site.

As for how it happened. I'm going to have to say books. The fact that something besides "the normal" is out there.
it's comforting to know others are out there that feel the way I do on certian topics. Some topics on this site I am not so comfortable with.

Darkness is not necessarily evil, just as light or lightheartedness is not necessarily good.

This way of life ... this way of seeing ...

I have, since I can remember, always been drawn to the more mysterious or hidden and taboo ways. From night terrors before I could walk of being burned alive to being firmly convinced that a witch lived in my closet when I was 3 years old and asking my mother to teach me more about her ... well, you get the picture.

Many taboo things are only evil to those who define the unknown or different ways as evil, for my $0.02.

I find much beauty in the darkness. It simply may not be as easy to find that beauty as it is for many who choose only to find beauty in the light.

Daermon, I agree. One of the great beauties of the night is to hear a moon howling in ecstasy of the moon's bracelets, watching the wisps of fog fingers creeping their way over a sleeping earth, begemming the grass with dewed moonlight. *sigh*

i was kinnda born like this now that i think bout it...lol

I remember a long time ago when i was little i thought this evil wolf pack roamed my room, and then one day all of a sudden they turned good and protected me from other "evil" things. Merhaps that has something to do with something?

yeah probablly

I wish i could remember why I switched from being afraid, to loveing my furry friends. Then I could understand....

man same here i was terified by the vampires and now i am one....wierd..lol

I was always naturaly curious about it and why people did things like this but now that I do I find in this a comfort I didn't find else where

yeah...i mean it was wierd at fisrt but now i love it!!!!!

nice one requiem.....(I release the typodemon upon you once again!)
hehehe
the apparent darkness is also not just what you feel of your self...but also what others see in you....
I have often had people tell me to cheer up and stop brooding when I am in a perfectly good mood....I think it is some of the love of the things of the dark clinging to me that causes it...a sort of residual effect

i really dont call it "the dark side" because its jsut different why put it in a group.....and idk i am both in so many ways....but most of the tiem a loner is what i am and these are the people i can talk to

Deathnitegrl...being of Darkness does not have to be depressing.....there is.......

Yes Daermon I agree with you,it's just HOW people associated it.Read my post carefully again I din't say it's depressing or evil I just asked why it is always associated with sadness,cause I agree with you.

I spent all my life dealing with people and trying to make them figure out that a dark life DOESN'T mean being depressing and suicidal or to be evil and I still do.It is just people that don't understand it.

Then maybe that's why 'dark' people are considered wierd.Also some kids like to say they're dark just to be cool or think they can scare people.But that's people's idea, NOT that is true.

:)

i dont really know ive always been interested in vampieres and things like that for as long as i can remeber

yeah i was born like this...i think.....lol

I have too much time on my hands so I end up in wierd places. (I do not think this to be a wierd place though. Its just some of the other places I end up are wierd).

lol......ummmm...ok....time is good though

Though, this is a way to spend a lot of time, especailly if you're like me, and get addicted.

Was born into Wicca and don't know where I get my passion for vampires, just have always loved them and wanted to learn as much about them as possible. I have read books about sitings and I just find it very interesting.

i've always been some what dark in nature...so it juss caught by attention more than anything else...it was easy and comfortable for me to fit in... it just makes sense to me..

I've always been on the 'dark' side...no pun intended to all those star wars freaks...lol...it wasent till about a year ago that i actually started expressing myself though...i was scared of my family for the longest time, i hid my witchcraft and telepathic abilities...now i have a place to talk about it....Thanks VR...love all of ya's!!

Come do the dark side.....it is your Destiny!
hehehe
I rather enjoy opening ppl eyes to the night tho.......it' took a while...but I once got my gf's parents to sit and watch a full moon as the cloud lightly swept across it and they agreed it was lovely....and left me alone for being too DARK for a long while after....

i've always been kinda dark. its just i never really express it or show it off alot.

First, Since 6th grade I have had a fascination with Vampire's, (after having seen a move in my class of which I don't know the name and have been trying to find out) even though it was kind of a tripped out freaky movie to be watching in school there was a sensuality about the Vampire and how he took his victims. And you know being young and in that prepubescent stage ... yada yada .. anyhoo, from then I started learning more about Vampire's, Witches, Warlocks, Were's all of the "night creatures" we have come to know.

But I don't necessarily feel or believe that they are "dark" creatures per say, I know many who call themselves Wiccan/Warlocks and some of them actually happen to be some of the happiest people I know. I more or less believe that it is societies views and fears of what they do not know that put them in the "darkness" ... I myself don't claim to be none of the above, just interested in fact and fiction

I, too, have always been somewhat dark I tend to have a very dark/morbid/sick sense of humor i've been curious about vampire and such since i read a book about them circa fourth grade
i've never been good with horror movies, i scare kind of easily, but for some resona the thought that vampires were real never scared me in the least

Ive always been interested in 'dark' things ever since I was 14 when my sister was murdered. I guess it was a natural reaction to something so profound. Im 19 and still like all things morbid. Im fascinated in murder and death. Vampires are just what I believe myself to be. No one has to agree with me, but as long as I believe it.. heh

well i became intrested in whitches by the movie "the craft" which scared the crap outa me, but after time progressed i really wanted to no more then i started to watch charmed then buffy and so on

The Rest of the world led me to the dark path of life. I don't really see myself as being dark. I just like to express myself that way in my music. just like a movie some like funny stuff, sad stuff, well I like horror. I just find darker stuff like this make me feel good.

well it all started when i was a little little girl i had dreams of bein bitten and being a vampire and well thats when it all started lol...i loved those dreams..haha anywho..but....they were kinda like stories every night my dreams would like well go one like a secoul..if i may...lol...but i went to my bed every night early to get to them faster and now i am in love with my vampires!!!!!!!! i can;t help it i am in LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....lol

I have always been into the paranormal.....my mother started it with my sister and I.......and I love the sexyness (sp) of a Vampire........it makes me tingle all over thinking about them....*gets lost in thought*........

My husband got me into it, but I have always had a thing for magick

Some of us were just born like this.......is not something that you learn.......and even if this sounds stupid it is in your blood.

I agree for some of us it's all we know.

ever since i was little i have been fasinated by the "darker" side of things...anything that seemed dark i would learn as much as i could about.......to me it seems natural to dark...it is the only thing i have been comfortable with my whole life..........
