I was watching the History channel about the legend and history of the
vampires. During this show, it covered a section of devout vampire
cults. There are ACTUALLY people out there who believe they are truly
the mysterious and supernatural vampires.

Does anyone know about the unsolved mystery of Susan Walsh?

She was undercover journalists that explored the lifestyle of secretive
vampires.

"In the early 1990's, bizarre vampire clubs began springing up in New
York's Greenwich Village. The clubs boasted a dicey clientele, many of
whom claimed to be real blood drinkers. Susan was so taken with the
vampire world, she started dating a man who claimed to be one of the
undead. Susan wrote a detailed article, but in this case her judgement
seemed skewed. She apparently believed a lot of what was being told to
her. To Susan's disappointment, the Village Voice never ran her article
on vampires."

So many things go on in this world. I met a guy on here that
claims to be a vampire acutally..

I thought it was creepy but interesting. I was just curious if anyone
else knew about this and if you knew similar stories

Rabies -
Symptoms: "allergies" to water, Increased sex drive, aversion to strong
smells (garlic, onion) aversion to bright lights (sunlight), overly
agressive, increased stamina

Spreads by contact with bodily fluids, (biting...the neck)

Mostly affects:
Dogs (werewolves), humans, bats (vampires)

Draw your own conclusions.

woa man! Interesting thanx

np.

It's one of those little known facts...and believed (by some) to be the
origin of all (or most) vampire myths

What I find interesting is that this cult actually believed they were
vampires.

What about that surprises you?

there's plenty of crazies in this world.

"crazies" You're so funny.

I met a guy on this who actually drinks blood. I predicted it started in
his child hood and that he used to suck the blood from cuts playing
sports and I was right!!!

yaks blood yaks blood, rolly polly yaks blood... ehem...sorry

I do that...sometimes...if I know my fingers are clean...I'll lick the
blood off...saliva makes it clot faster...that's why animals lick
themselves

I believe that it goes deaper then rabies. Theres one cult that I know
about,there called "The order of AsetKA". I dont know much about them,
there very secretive. They claim to be the direct decendents from Aset
(Greek name is Isis, the Egyptian goddess of life). There are alot of
people who claim to be vampires, but only live a lifestyle of a vampire,
this is called sangurnarienism ( sry that its misspelt). There is one
disease, i think its two or three diseases that if you have them all it
makes a different disease. I'm not sure of the name if it but you can
google "Vampiric disease. or something along those lines and you should
find something. I was wathing something on the History channel about a
women that had theis disease and killed over fifteen people. The only
reason that she killed them was the need for something in the blood, I
dont know what the need was though.Theres always more then the eye
shows. And dont forget the Occult is not a perfect science, Alester
Crowly said that best.

wow

He got upset that I compared him to Buffy's the Vampire Slayer character
"Angel" ..I should have said "spike"

I liked that show.

What else have you heard about? What about sorcerers, or witches? I do
know that does exist out there.

Thankyou Dreadhead that was very very interesting and
creepy at the same time.

So the lady killed 15 people! wow

Very interesting info you gave

Aset (king maker) mother of Horus. Rumored to have learned the true
name of RA and therefore knows the secrets of the Universe.

She is also known as 'Mother of God' and is the keeper of the Book of
the Dead.

The Wife of Osiris and also supposed to be the Mother of Magic.

Interesting. what's "RA?"

I think he was the Sun God, but I'm sure AB will correct me if I'm
wrong!!

Ra was the sun god. He rode around in a boat called a "bark". He also
put a feather in his hat and called it macaroni...I think he did at
least.

boredchick07,

I can give you the lowdown on hermetic magic, if you want. It's not
really interesting.

Interesting thing about Egyptian mythology.

In a nut shell.

There was a god king who became great and was reborn as his own son by a
woman that had no man. (virgin birth). He ruled in the flesh on the
earth and then went to the heavens. Once a person begins their own
journey through the gates of the heavens they will be judged by this
reborn god king and if found worth will receive great blessings. If
found un worth they will recieve the full measure of their unworthyness.

Sound familiar.

there is a condition (or rather, group of conditions) called porphyria
that have symptoms that have been associated with true vampirism.

people that are affected literally blister and scar when exposed to
sunlight, so much that their features are distorted. they also have
severe nausea and cramping, and being severely anemic, crave blood.
these people are often treated with heme and blood transfusions...very
interesting. some are even insane.

it's also been suggested a time or three that they may be the real
reason behind the vampire myth.

oh the sun god ...thank you everyone

Spider yeh spill the info
