The Vampyr

[C C Csiders]

Following on from the "World of Mystery" threads we have had, what about vampires - do they, or have they ever existed

Any views?

Is there any difference between a vampire and a vampyr?

:p

None whatsoever. A vampyr is a slightly more scary way of spelling vampire.:)

No, how stupid

It depends whether your talking about the real life Vampires that actually drink human blood, have their teeth filed or capped to a point and dress accordingly or the Vampires of myth and legend that supposedly live for eternity and have a particular aversion to anything Garlic based.

The first yes, my niece knows a couple. The second no, stretches the imagination to much for my feeble mind.


Edit....oops, hit the wrong poll option

I think a lot of it you can blame on Byron.

In real life - Not a chance. Well, not in human form anyway. There's a bat in South America that appears to suck blood though.

Still, they make a great basis for a decent novel or movie.

I have heard that older women who hang around young women, to create the illusion they are young are vampires, feeding of the youth.

They are regularly seen at teh Henry addington Canary wharf, looking like wrinkly Sharon Osbournes, they'll be loitering with much younger fillys singing the wrong words to modern pop songs.
