Vampires

Vampires are mythological beings who live and thrive off of drinking the blood of mortals. Vampires are creatures considered undead but not mindless like zombies. There are rumors of real-life vampires that exhibit some of the tendencies of fictional vampires.

There are many different cases of vampires in pop culture. One of the most famous pop culture vampires is Dracula, who was the main character in a Bram Stoker novel of the same name. Movies such as Twilight also have a focus on vampires in the storyline.http://openbooksociety.com/article/vampires-in-culture-03-26-2010/

There are rumors of vampires exiting in the real world in addition to vampires found in fictional books and movies. There is a very small percentage of individuals who claim to be vampires in their own lives. While they may not drink the blood of actual humans, they do indeed drink the blood of other animals, sometimes sleep in coffins, and dress in peculiar outfits and capes. Some scientists have looked into studying about why these people become vampires. Vampires can not be bred in any way, a person must choose to become one.http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=6154446&page=1
