Vampires

This is actually a really hard question, because there are so many stroies about vampires, it is impossible to choose the 'right' one. But some say that vampires can no longer reproduce, because they are the living dead (very much like zombies), so the only way that vampires can form in this case is through the spread of the venom from the vampire. Some say that vampires can reproduce. Some say that a vampire is formed when someone's funeral isn't conducted properly- this is from a more traditional belief. Some belief say that the formation of the vampire began by a Vampire God. As you can see, there are many different ways that a new vampire can form, depending on the belief of that area and time. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NOTE: When researching this question, almost everyone will say it is not possible. Don't take that offensively, but vampires just have a very high inner pride level. They don't want anymore mixes in their community. Yes vampires can reproduce, they are not considered to be "undead" as Hollywood would describe it. The long tales about being the 7th son of the 7th son and being born with teeth, yeah those are all fake. You are either born as one or not born as one. There are ways of being switched though, but I doubt any of them would want to perform that 3 year old century task.

It can hardly be said that they live linger if they don't live, or even exist, at all. However, it is probably for the same reasons that humans and elepahnts live onger than bats, and why bats live longer than most insects and bugs.

Blood is the primary source of sustenance for vampires, providing them with vital nutrients and energy. It is also often associated with their immortality and supernatural abilities, with fresh human blood typically being the most desirable to most vampires.

first of all I'm sure if vampires were real they WOULDN'T suck blood they would pierce a neck and drink the blood. with a vampire they are dead so my theory would be is that if vampires were real they would suck blood in order to replace the blood they had lost while consuming it. though I do not believe that vampires absolutely can not exist I would not say I wouldn't want them too. also If you have read a few short vampire stories you would know that blood tastes like nothing we can taste. And also to spread vampire-ism (weather you believe the bite would kill the victim or turn them is your opinion)

Several factors can affect the rate at which fruit rots, including temperature, moisture, exposure to oxygen, and the fruit's natural sugar content. Warmer temperatures can accelerate the decomposition process, while high humidity can create a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Exposure to oxygen can also speed up the decay process by promoting oxidation. Additionally, fruits with higher sugar content tend to ripen and rot more quickly.

The time Vampire Diaries comes on depends on the season and whether new or old episodes are being aired. Also there is a spin off of the Vampire Diaries called the originals. Check your local TV guide for times and channels.

Vampires are traditionally depicted as being harmed or weakened by sunlight, but the exact reason varies across different folklore and literature. In some interpretations, sunlight is believed to be harmful due to its purity or connection to life, while others suggest that it is based on symbolism, with light representing good and purity, contrasting the darkness associated with vampires. Ultimately, the aversion to light helps to create a supernatural weakness that adds to the vampire's mystique and vulnerability.

There is no scientific evidence or documented proof to support the existence of adrenochrome as a substance produced in the human body. The idea of adrenochrome has been popularized in fiction and conspiracy theories, but there is no credible scientific basis for its effects or properties.

Vampires are traditionally associated with being sensitive to sunlight. They are often portrayed as being harmed or killed by exposure to UV rays or direct sunlight, leading to their aversion to light.

No, silver does not kill vampires. In vampire folklore, traditional methods of killing vampires typically involve a wooden stake through the heart, decapitation, or exposure to sunlight. Silver is more commonly associated with werewolves in mythology.

It depends what kind of vampire it is and on where and more importantly when it is. Legends of vampires, or at least "vampire like" creatures can be found from the worlds earliest civilizations and from Japan to pre-Columbian America, from the Arctic to South Africa. Western societies concept of a vampire is based on Eastern European, mostly Slavic, stories, especially from the early 1700's when there was an outbreak of sightings, grave openings and stakings of vampires.

Few, if any, of the original stories, or the lore they were based on,mention any metal that vampires can not touch. Some Romany traditions do say that all the body openings of a vampire must be closed with steel needle and pins. In some places an iron or steel rod. not a wooden stake, had to be driven thru the heart,

in other places decapitation with a stell blade was required to kill a vampire.

Modern Vampire stories are created by authors to reflect contemporary society and while based on ancient lore can often have little resemblance to original characteristics. Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, can be considered the basis of modern vampire lore. There were novels before it, one by Stoker himself, but Dracula was the first really succesful novel and gained wide spread audience. As well as inspiring many imitators, plays and movies. Stoker combined elements of various vampire legends as well as legends of other creatures to create his Dracula. Stoker used the Texan hero's steel Bowie knife to decapitate Dracula as well as staking is heart and burning the corpse.

Silver causing burns if a vampire touches it is a recent addition, from the 1800's. It was probably borrowed from silver's effects on other creatures, were wolves, witches, "spirits" , especially demons, devils , and other beings sent by Satan. The effects of silver are primarily from areas with Christian influence. Perhaps because of the association with Judas and the 30 pieces, silver was seen as a holy metal. This may be why a vampire has no reflection in a mirror, early glass mirrors were made with a backing of real silver. But some legends say vampires were souless, souless beings in general cast no shadoe or reflection in any thing. But other areas say vampires have an undying soul.

In other places and times, various metals have detrimental effects on various creatures. Gnomes, elves, trolls can't touch iron; gold affects some things, iron doesn't but steel does, quick silver (mercury), brass, copper, even tin are said to be anathema to others. For vampires, a metal's effects all depend on what kind of vampire it is, its nationality, its 'religion,' where it is, time of day, if it is 'asleep' or 'awake,' what form it is in, more human or vampire, some animal (wolf, bat, etc), or more of a spirit, or even amorphus ( fog, mist, smoke, even light.) But most importantly, who is telling the story.

The belief that vampires do not cast reflections in mirrors is a common superstition in vampire folklore. This idea is rooted in the connection between mirrors and the soul, and the belief that vampires lack a soul or have an altered, supernatural reflection that cannot be seen in a mirror.

Some vampires are not affected by daylight very much at all. Count Dracula walked about in full day light and was only slightly weakened. He however had the full Victorian garb and had only his face exposed.

Camilla also was wheeled about during the day (wheel chair that is) and suffered no ill effects.

Count Orlock however was vapourized by the first touch of dawn through an open window.

The vampires of Ann Rice's novels burn to ashes on the touch of sunlight.

The vampires of 'Let the Right One In' burst into flames on the touch of sunlight.

Female mosquitoes bite to obtain proteins and nutrients needed to develop their eggs. They are attracted to the carbon dioxide, body heat, and certain chemicals emitted by humans, making us an ideal food source for them.

No, vampires are fictional creatures and do not exist in real life. Scientists cannot create a substance or technology that can turn someone into a vampire. The concept of vampires is purely a product of mythology and storytelling.

In folklore, a variety of metals like silver, iron, and steel have been associated with killing vampires. However, in contemporary fiction and popular culture, there is no specific metal that is universally identified as a vampire-killing weapon.

Vampires are mythical creatures, so there is no definitive answer to how they would react to vinegar. In folklore, vampires are often repelled by strong smells, so it is possible that the strong smell of vinegar could be a deterrent.

Because they are dead. Just like a corpse, vampires have no body temperature. If they drink enough fresh blood, they may warm up a bit but once that blood cools down, so will the vampire. Think of it as cutting off your circulation. The vampire has no circulation. Once you release open up the circulation, color returns (vampire drank blood) but then circulation is cut off once again.

Vampires are often portrayed as having superhuman speed, agility, and reflexes, capable of moving faster than humans. However, the exact speed of vampires can vary depending on the portrayal in different books, movies, or myths.

Yes, the Cherokee believed in shape-shifting as part of their traditional spirituality. They believed that certain individuals possessed the ability to transform into animals or other forms to communicate with spirits or to protect the community.

In the "Twilight" series, vampires are described as having superhuman speed. They move at a pace that is impossible for humans to match, allowing them to cover large distances in a fraction of the time it would take for a regular person.

Vampires are fictional creatures known for their ability to drink blood to sustain themselves, possess heightened strength and speed, and often have the ability to transform into animals or mist. They are typically depicted as immortal beings with fangs that they use to bite their victims and feed on their blood.
