they want to suck your blood you know if
you’re like cool with it and everything
hey
welcome to watchmojo.com down the five
most fascinating facts about real-life
vampires vampires have undoubtedly made
their presence felt through the course
of history and to this day persist as
major players in pop culture but over
the years more myths have formed around
vampires then you can fit in a
plus-sized coffin real-life vampires are
quite simply individuals who feel the
need to consume the life energy of other
humans in order to maintain proper
health either by drinking blood or other
means and today we’re getting intimate
with their condition Jim this garlic
bread is cold
what No it burned me number five they
live among us so what do you do I’m a
vampire hmm that’s something I haven’t
heard before have you ever met a vampire
sounds like a silly question but
vampires are much more common than you
think
according to estimates made by John
edgar Browning a professor of English
who specializes in horror and vampire
culture roughly 50 or more real vampires
can be found in the average american
city and they are creatures of the night
who stalk the shadows they work regular
jobs often in the daylight shop at the
grocery store and go to the movies just
like you point is thinking that you have
knocked down the dishes for five years
they actually have organized groups like
Nova the New Orleans vampire Association
or the a VA Atlanta vampire Alliance
which estimates the total number of
American vampires to be roughly 5,000 if
not more I am a vampire what does that
mean my method of energy sources to fund
human blood human blood number four call
a placebo but symptoms are real the bad
I mean I know I felt it bite me but look
there’s no more fell so tingly according
to one real-life vampire interviewed by
John edgar Browning attempting to quit
drinking blood put her in the hospital
like many of her peers she would prefer
to lead a normal life but her attempts
resulted in exhaustion crippling
migraines dangerously low blood pressure
and heart palpitations look The Hangover
x teen or it was really bad after
feeding she recovered almost immediately
many vampires discover their condition
during their teens when plagued with
extremely low energy a chance taste of
human blood yields an instant boost and
sense of well-being science hasn’t found
any medical basis to support clinical
vampirism but the physical symptoms are
curious it’s either an extreme example
of the nocebo effect or clinical
vampirism is in fact real and simply
medically misunderstood I feel better
already
number three they want to change their
social stigma first I wanted to kill him
but now I’m glad I spent the time to get
to know him
groups like Nova and the ABA go out of
their way to change the stigma
associated with vampires as a result of
their depiction throughout history and
in pop culture
they get involved with charitable
initiatives such as feeding the homeless
or night safety patrols as a means of
increasing awareness and improving the
public image of vampires everywhere
I would probably ostracize for this and
that’s where I think it’s terrible while
many of them have embraced the popular
vampire aesthetic others just look like
your average citizen many real-life
vampires intentionally distance
themselves from the idea vampirism as
depicted in film television video games
and literature boogie bought the land
and it is so much fun
they also scoff at any vampire specific
superstitions like garlic or holy water
they consider their vampire identity to
be medical in nature not simply
role-playing or a cultural obsession
number two they generally avoid taking
victims we’ve all gotten agreements that
we’re not going to eat stew right right
as Nova members told browning any
vampire that admitted to hurting a human
in the pursuit of human blood would be
immediately reported to authorities and
ostracized from their organization
drinking blood by force has more
commonly been associated with violent
murderers in history
did I kill some of your people no no I
can’t remember who do so as part of
obsessive ritualized killings rather
than as a result of a real or imagined
physiological need I feed predominantly
from crowds so as not to cause harm
real-life vampires usually source blood
from close friends or family willing
victims called donors who volunteer
other vampires don’t drink blood at all
but rather claim to source energy
psychically or even sexually though they
are less common than sanguinary and
vampires I see you muddy don’t touch
number one there are medical basis for
vampire legends while science struggles
to explain modern vampires modern
science can help explain vampires
throughout history victims of
tuberculosis for example became pale
coughed up blood and avoided sunlight
now consider how contagious this deadly
disease was and you can see how a
society that isn’t medically advanced
could see it as supernatural according
to UCLA historian Paul Barbour vampirism
was also an explanation for corpses that
decomposed unnaturally slowly we now
know that this can result from a number
of diseases rabies for example usually
ends in cardio respiratory failure and
hemorrhaging as a result of which the
body takes longer to decay Wikileaks but
consider the tendency of rabid
individuals to bite and claw at others
and in fact that it was commonly
transmitted by bats and you’ve got a
solid vampire origin story
sohe vampires lost any of their sexy
supernatural appeal in your eyes and do
you believe that real-life vampires
could suffer from a yet to be discovered
medical condition for more super sexy
supernatural toptenz and transmitted by
bats top fives be sure to subscribe to
