    look up the etymology of the word:

    The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first appearance of the word vampire in English from 1734, in a travelogue titled Travels of Three English Gentlemen published in the "Harleian Miscellany" in 1745. Vampires had already been discussed in German literature. After Austria gained control of northern Serbia and Oltenia in 1718, officials noted the local practice of exhuming bodies and "killing vampires". These reports, prepared between 1725 and 1732, received widespread publicity.

    The English term was derived (possibly via French vampyre) from the German Vampir, in turn thought to be derived in the early 18th century from the Serbian вампир/vampir. The Serbian form has parallels in virtually all Slavic languages: Bulgarian вампир (vampir), Czech and Slovak upír, Polish wąpierz, and (perhaps East Slavic-influenced) upiór, Russian упырь (upyr'), Belarusian упыр (upyr), Ukrainian упирь (upir'), from Old Russian упирь (upir'). (Note that many of these languages have also borrowed forms such as "vampir/wampir" subsequently from the West; these are distinct from the original local words for the creature.) The exact etymology is unclear. Among the proposed proto-Slavic forms are *ǫpyrь and *ǫpirь. Like its possible cognate that means "bat" (Czech netopýr, Slovak netopier, Polish nietoperz, Russian нетопырь / netopyr' - a species of bat), the Slavic word might contain a Proto-Indo-European root for "to fly". An older theory is that the Slavic languages have borrowed the word from a Turkic term for "witch" (e.g., Tatar ubyr).

    The first recorded use of the Old Russian form Упирь (Upir') is commonly believed to be in a document dated 6555 (1047 AD). It is a colophon in a manuscript of the Book of Psalms written by a priest who transcribed the book from Glagolitic into Cyrillic for the Novgorodian Prince Vladimir Yaroslavovich. The priest writes that his name is "Upir' Likhyi " (Упирь Лихый), which means something like "Wicked Vampire" or "Foul Vampire". This apparently strange name has been cited as an example both of surviving paganism and of the use of nicknames as personal names.

    Another early use of the Old Russian word is in the anti-pagan treatise "Word of Saint Grigoriy," dated variously to the 11th–13th centuries, where pagan worship of upyri is reported

    Vampires are mythological or folkloric revenants who subsist by feeding on the blood of the living. In folkloric tales, the undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early Nineteenth Century. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in most cultures, the term vampire was not popularised until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe,[1] although local variants were also known by different names, such as vampir (вампир) in Serbia, vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism.

    I told you all long ago that it was only Serbian international word... (except pushi kuratz)

    We have legends about blood drinking and night dwelling vampires dated way before Transylvanian one came along

    Besides Rocka, really, REALLY... who are you to be slinging the word's 'creepy', and 'resident troll' around? I think you're a pretty big flamer yourself darling.
    Flaming and Trolling are two different things. Like vampyrs and people who aren't idiots.

    Plus, I'm totally not creepy (kinda dickish, sure) and I'm not the one who called BP a troll.

    Maybe it's because a lot of guys are always intimidated by really pretty ladies. Some guys think that they can never get "that" girl, because she's out of their league in a sense. The girl a lot of times always says that they wish guys wouldn't be intimidated because there's nothing to be afraid of!

    I know that I have a hard time talking to pretty girls, guys or hell, anybody at a club or event, period. I always wait for them to ask me something. Maybe BP thinks the same way.

    Srsly.

    I just saw another 'support' community for the poor souls. Seriously you guys... To take a moment back to the Vampirism, is it unfair of me to get a peeved every time some new kid/person crops up with an article or blather about being a Vampire and needing a thread/support community? Weather you claim to be Psi or Sang, it all reeks of the Otherkin/Furry crap to me, frankly, and I'm not entirely sure I'm being fair... It just seems utterly stupid... lame... and mental. y/y?

    "I'm a Vampyr...except I don't have any special powers...and I can go out in the sunlight...and I love garlic on my cruelty-free vegetarian pita wraps, but I'd totally hunt the living if I ever found anyone I could overpower with my 98 pound frame...oh yeah, and I hang out at the Hot Topic down at the mall with all the other 'real' vampyrs...oh wait a minute I just realized that I am not a Vampyr at all, just a HUGE FUCKING DORK!"

    Nääh... he just wants someone to control. Strong personality like Jax is just too much for him to handle.

    On the other hand I want someone like Jax to control me

    What similarties? Hot Topic? I'm not 14 years old unfortunately, I've already seen alot of people's inability to discern. It generally ends up in metal heads getting label'd Goth, and my boyfriend's Granny assuming i'm a Devil Worshiper. Why the hell would I be worried about that?

    I think what may bother me more is the fact that there are so many people (on the internet) who don't seem to see the difference between relatively self-aware 'Delusions of Grandeur', and Belief One is a Vampire. One is a left over, ever-adolescent need to be Special, the other is... I dunno... Renfield's Syndrome.

    Meh.

    And you know what?

    I think that just about covers it.

    No one wanted those remakes, but you went ahead, and did it anyway.

    I actually have people come in my room and ask various questions such as:

    Are you emo? (No, sorry, haven't changed the way I dress and my makeup style since I was 12 ie 11 years ago. Very prior to the "emo" fads)

    Are you a vampire?: Why? is there blood on my mouth? If not, then why the hell would you ask this retarded ass question

    Are you a witch/devil worshipper?: Well, if it makes you feel better about looking at a half naked chic on a cam site, then sure. But, srsly, no. Couldn't care less about wicca, or witch craft, nor do I give a shit about Luciferians or LaVeyists. That's not my bag. I don't follow any sort of religion other than "Do what you want and leave me the fuck out of it"

    All because I wear black a lot and apparently am pale (comes with the geek territory: lack of sunlight due to intensive gaming)

    all right hows this: I do believe in the blood sucking undead, i don't believe that they would be posting such blatantly retarded messages on internet boards. I like to believe that anything that has lived for more than 30 years would be less asinine and over dramatic in their reveal, that's all. look at this with objective "Psyche", "Monk", "Burn Notice" eyes, the math just doesn't add up. which leads me to believe that this individual is full of horse shit and is therefore fair game.

    ... on the topic that hijacked this thread - BP is actually a friend of mine, he never begged me for pity sex. yeah he got a little creepy on the boards for a while, but who hasn't been in a weird place in their lives where they say and do some things that make others uncomfortable? he's apolojised, and hasn't had a lapse, give the guy a fucking break.
