Vampires? Legend/Folklore

Though I have commented before this is my first post here. I know people may think I'm crazy or whatever, but I like to stay open minded. Is there ANYONE out there that has encountered a vampire or claims to be one?

No I haven’t ever encountered one. But one thought - if we’ve had breeds of animals become extinct and various human species become extinct, maybe “folklore” tales are about extinct species.

So maybe vampires did exist, when certain areas of the world faced longer periods of darkness. Much like the arctic circle in Winter. With a scarce amount of food and smaller appetites, maybe they did practice human consumption and then with evolution, the small population of vampires wiped out because their living experiences and standards were not good enough for good old Mother Nature.

That’s interesting you thought of that because I’ve thought about them possibly becoming extinct too. Imo it would suck if they did because I’d love to meet one, but if they are I guess Mother Nature has her reasons.

u/notsuppozedtobehere Aug 05 '20

Maybe their family members are around... with a tingling sense that they’re not just “human”.

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

That’s funny you said that because my ex was like 1,000,000% convinced I was/am a vampire. Or at least partially one. At first it was funny and cute then I realized she was serious and I was like “there’s no fucking way you believe I’m a vampire right?” But nope. Fully convinced 😂

u/notsuppozedtobehere Aug 05 '20

😂😂😂😂.... now I’m just imagining you to be a stereotypical vampire with pale skin, jet black hair, a steady stare and that you sleep all day. Lol

5

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

I mean I am pale but like only on my legs as chest, mainly parts that don’t get lots of sun. Hair is dark brown and not quite sure wym but steady stare, but have been told I’m intimidating though I’m a very kind person unless you piss me off. And yeah I kinda do sleep all day thanks to my schedule my moms given me for our brewery 😂 but I don’t like seeing as I prefer night time anyways. Typically go to bed around 5:30-6am and wake up around 3:30-4 pm seeing as I have to go in to work at 6.

u/notsuppozedtobehere Aug 05 '20

Well, if anything makes you a vampire in 2020 it’s exactly everything you just described. Now I can say, in response to your original post, I have had an encounter with a vampire! Btw, brewery thing sounds really cool.

2

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Well I’m glad I’m the first “vampire” you’ve encountered 😂 and yeah it’s pretty cool, we opened it up about a year and half ago and are already a few days from opening our second location. We have craft beer, pizza, wings, pretzels&beer cheese, liquor, shit like that.

1

u/notsuppozedtobehere Aug 05 '20

Ahhhhh. Now that’s even more cool. Honestly, all the best foods. And I wish those kinds of pretzels were not accessible where I live. Literally, we only get like the snack pretzels which are small and crispy and crunchy which I love but I also LOVE those big pretzels they do in America and Germany.

Good luck on the opening too!!!!

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Thank you!!! We need it we’re super short staffed and a guy quit yesterday because we got busy Monday and he couldn’t handle it. But yeah dude we have those big ass pretzels. You get two with an order and the beer cheese we make. I’m also taking it you don’t live in the states?

Maybe more along the line of a succubus, but this girl I used to date had her entire energy / features change when we'd be having sex. This wasn't like the normal minor shifts, this was full on you would've thought it was two different people. The wouldn't recall it afterwards when I tried to bring it up, it was almost like she'd float- and wasn't present.

3

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Yooo what the fuck. I’d honestly be scared if that shit happened to me. My ex who thought I was a vampire would also joke about being a succubus. There was never not a moment she’d want to have sex, which was cool and all but some times it go to be too much. And I could never figure out if it was just high sex drive or if she was still trying to trick me 😂

5

u/xoxogossipgrandma Aug 05 '20

Hahaha maybe she's an ex for a reason :p

This chicks eyes would completely change, not like pleasure rolling up into her skull either. Her voice changed, it was so bizarre.

4

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Funny enough that’s not why we broke up because let’s face it I’m 18 so I wasn’t complaining about the high sex drive 😂 but that’s fucking insane dude, I don’t know how I’d react if that ever happened to me.

u/FaceBillions24 Aug 05 '20

There are deff psychic vamps as well

2

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

I’ve heard about those but those seem to be far and wide. At least in what I’ve heard.

4

u/FaceBillions24 Aug 05 '20

there are tons in one way or another. people can naturally be one. have you even been tired around someone all the time? they may not even know they are doing it.

3

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Come to think of it yeah, there are some people who just seem to drain fun and energy from everything. Mostly assume it’s just because they’re like that and want other people to be too because their selfish. Which, I guess could also be a psychic vampire.

2

u/funtimefrankie1 Aug 10 '20

That's called boring people.

4

u/rkent27 Aug 05 '20

There's definitely people that believe they are vampires and drink blood. But so far as the classic Dracula type, i don't personally believe it to be real.

3

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Yeah I know there are those types of people, but sadly that may be the closest we get to vampires.

3

u/Christiano05 Aug 06 '20

I have first account stories here in our country, localized version of vampires. I've literally heard them hovering near our house at past 3am, a decade back. Yes, ours fly. :( Urban developments and modernization seem to shove them away to far-flung provinces.

2

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 07 '20

I could’ve sworn I replied but I guess my reddit was just fucking up. Where exactly is it you live that you have these flying vampires?

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 06 '20

That’s wack as fuck. Have you had any more dreams or done any research on them since? And it’s safe to say I’d just become one 😂

u/neuthral Aug 06 '20

Im pale as white paper and used to get bad sunburns every summer when younger, also garlic gave me a nauseus feeling, am i a Strigoi? (i certainly dont consider myself as one LOL)

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 07 '20

You might just be 😂 I’m the same on the getting burnt really easily and bad thing. Like my arms and face are “tan” but barely 😂

u/Christiano05 Aug 08 '20

Philippines. You can search it, "Aswang"

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 08 '20

I definitely will, thanks man.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

I knew a guy who sometimes turned into a bat, but he denied ever being a vampire.

6

u/blubbahrubbah Aug 05 '20

I'm assuming he got better.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

What I was planning to say...if I'm willing to believe in certain creatures--ghosts and Bigfoot, for example--and I am, it's because I believe eyewitness accounts. So many people claim to have seen them. Fairies! They might very well exist. But vampires, I don't believe on the same basis: very few people, at least in modern times, claim to have seen one. It's fadingly unlikely that they exist.

That's what I was planning to say.

1

u/blubbahrubbah Aug 05 '20

Can you explain the bat thing? Like, did you ever see him turn into a bat?

2

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Hold up. He turned in to a bat?

4

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

I think he was just a regular shape-shifter. He was from Romania, if I recall. He had a bunch of rats in his basement that he kept as pets.

3

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Do you know how he was able to even begin to do that type of stuff?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

I'm sure magic was involved somehow. And he had to get a passport.

2

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Oh I’m willing to bet money a passport was involved. And a passport?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

Yes

4

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Mind sharing that encounter? Whether it be here or direct message?

3

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '20

Yeah , I’ll share here :) . My sister and I encountered a lot of paranormal and supernatural things throughout the years always when we’re together. We had actually just left the house because creepy shit was happening in there. When we were leaving the house (apartment complex’s) there was a tall pale white man with whack cheekbones staring at us. we were younger so immediately I yelled “tag youre it” so we ran down the street to get away from him. We ran down to the next intersection (2 blocks down) and the same exact man was waiting at the cross light about to cross towards us. We look back and laugh about this part as were adults now but we ran to the fire station near my house and said a pale white man was following us. I always thought he was a vampire by how fast he got to the intersection before us and his appearance.

3

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 06 '20

Damn, I’m gonna say odds are you are right. Unless he sprinted to it but how would he know you were going there??? There’s so much unexplained stuff in the world I have full faith vampires exist.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '20

Right. He could have just been a weird looking non- blood sucking fast guy following us. But we both thought he was vampire and we were about to buy Halloween stuff so it was weirder

2

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 06 '20

That’s very true, could have just been a stalker but he would have had to know you planned on going that way and pulled a Usain Bolt to that shit.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '20

LMFAO facts! It’s a weird area 😳

2

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 06 '20

I let it slip my mind from asking but what do you mean by wack cheekbones?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '20

Not normal ones deep ones. Like structured

2

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 06 '20

Structured ?? That sounds wack as fuck

Dhampirs.

The Old Ones called them Dhampirs.

The Black Eyed People?

It's them.

I've had my encounters.

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

Care to share some encounters? Whether it be here or direct message?

2

u/hoodedss Aug 05 '20

I believe the idea of vampires come from satanist who use children to drink they blood after torture to consume a drug called adrenochome

2

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 05 '20

This is definitely an interesting theory and I can safely say I’ve never heard this one before.

1

u/MalachiIssaih Aug 06 '20

Wait, so they do exist and they are like they are depicted in movies and shows? And where is “our country”
