Someone asked Google, if there are Vampires in Transylvania. And the answer was, "There Are No Vampires in Transylvania". But, what do Google and their employees knows about vampirism in Romania. It's not like they came and expended many years investigating the legends of Vampires. For Romanians, there are two types of Vampires, the living strigoi, which are known to be witches that have two hearts or souls (sometimes both). These vampires have souls that they send out at night to communicate with other Strigoi and drink the blood of livestock and people. The living dead are also called Moroi since they become revenant after death (return). The Strigoi will drink the blood of someone from their heart or between their eyes. Female Strigoi can come back and actually marry and try to lead normal lives, but they will soon exhaust their husband with their sexual appetite if they haven't killed them already. Male Strigoi can have children called Dhampirs. These children can grow up to detect and hurt vampires. And the Dead strigoi, (which are actually reanimated corpses that will come back to suck blood and attack their families. These creatures do not have souls just their outer shell). The last case reported to authorities was in 2019, when a family member was getting super sick and the family decided to unearth a dead relative, which just die recently. The corpse has blood in his lips. Now, you love Vampires, you are a VR member, but, do you believe in them, even, if goggles people tell you something different? Your thoughts about the subject are well appreciated.
I was starting to wonder if there was a question in this post. Thank you for your post full of information. I certainly believe that there are vampires. I am not sure what all types of vampires exist. I believe there are a wide variety of definitions and standards that people come up with as to what defines a vampire. I for example believe that all members of Vampire rave are a "Rave Vampire". Just being a part of this community makes you a bit of a vampire. You bite, you lurk, you stalk, you join houses and covens of other vampires under your Sire vampire, you earn the favor of the Prince, you grow stronger with more abilities over time, you eventually sire other vampires by inducting them. Sounds like a vampire to me.
I don't believe in some of the things people take from novelty, and movies and classify that as REAL vampires.
Real vampirism is about pulling energy from different sources and vampires are not prone to just one way of doing it. A vampire can feed from all ways in fact, and people will make all sorts of false claims, even pretending to be something they're not, and that is where the facts and falsehoods get screwed up because of people like that who more or less don't truly understand that real human vampires have awakenings, and such. You don't find that in movies do you?
Although that would make an interesting movie if it was close to reality. I know vampires are real out of body, and in body both.
