real vampires (vampirism)

This group has intrigued me for a long time. I am a member (although strickly a non-posting lurker) and with all the excitement about fictional vampires and vampire chic since the advent of Twilight, I feel these guys deserve a mention. Don't mention Twilight to them, though. Few of them are fans. In threads such as 'OMG MOre Twilight crap.' and 'PHEW TWILIGHTS DYING OUT BUT NOW THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!' The members of this group (or at least some of them) consider themselves to be real vampires, and subdivide themselves into sanguinariuns (consumers of good old-fashioned blood), psiconic vampires (consumers of energy) or hybrids (a combination of the two). At least some of them, consider themselves to be something other than human. Threads on the discussion board include 'HALLOWEEN MEET-UP 2010', 'head count...', 'is being a vampire a curse or a privilage to you?', 'the other me.', 'diabolical plans...', 'Non US-people in group?', 'blood dreams', 'Hereditary vampirism' and many more.

What's great about this group: Take a glimpse into one corner of counter-culture.
