when i was a kid, i'm fascinated with vampires but afraid of them at the same time, if these creatures really exist. and i remember, one of my cousins told us, that a cruise ship is coming to our country Philippines and all the passengers were vampires. and now i've read an article in yahoo, that a vampire's skeleton was discovered in bulgaria.

Yes, nyang1984, the vampire really does to exist.
I have seen several. One of them worked late at the night in the Denny's. He was very nice. I sort of felt sorry for him.
I have seen a few others in my nocturnal explorations.
I have not heard of the cruise ship traveling your way. Please let me know if they arrive to there and they are the vampires.
Peace.

When I was the child, I saw the movie about the vampires on the ship. It scared me! Maybe your cousin saw this same movie?
How about the werewolves in your country? Have you seen any?
Yes, of course there are many of the blood suckers in this world. Unfortunately, I used to be married to one!

It's a vampire bat. It does exist. It actually lives off sucking blood from livestock or any other animal, for that matter.

Um... no. Vampires, the blood-sucking creatures of the night from mythology, are not real. The "vampire skeletons" articles that you have discovered merely demonstrate the legendary and long-term mythology of these creatures. There was once a time when people were throughly convinced that they were real, and they took measures to keep the night stalkers in the grave. I think there's a grain of truth to all mythology, just a grain. Maybe there were blood-drinking serial killers back in the ancient days. I don't know. But they probably weren't undead monsters.
People who drink blood for fun are real. People who wear false fangs, sleep in coffins, and don't go out in the daylight for kicks are real. But they're just humans who love vampires, not vampires. And I have no idea what you're talking about with a cruise ship full of vampires. I haven't heard anything about this.

On further research, I discovered that there are several vampire-themed cruise ships doing tours. They're filled with vampire fanatics, so maybe that's the closest thing you can get to a ship full of vampires! lol But I hear their vampire activities will be watching vampire movie marathons, having Byan Stokker's descendant make a talk about the original Dracula novel, and perhaps vampire-themed metal bands may play. I didn't see any murder or mayhem in the list. Though I do wonder if the top decks will be designated as off-limits during the daytime.

Hi:
Vampires are known for their bloody appetite (pardon the pun) but the nearest thing I know about blood-sucking creatures are the mosquitoes and some variety of bats. I don't think humans are capable of it, enlivened by blood or some other things connected to night creatures.
I don't know why they call the skeletons vampire remains, do they bore distinctive marks? What could it be (I have not time to go to the links provided)?

I really want to say that Vampire's are in most cases fake, and typically appear on the media as the "Sparkly Vampire" known as Edward cullen, to the very realistic-looking vampire like Dracula in those old-fashioned TV shows, but that news story changed me a bit.
I still think that there are vampires in this world, but just not in the same form that the media describes it; Bats still suck blood, but they don't suck human blood; they suck sheep and many different other animals to survive. They also happen to be nocturnal, so hope this relieves you a bit.

Actually, "vampires" do exist. But not in a supernatural way. Try googling Porphyria. The symptoms manifested by this disorder is quite similar to what you see among vampires. Scientist believed that this disease could be origin of the belief of vampires.
I have also seen this episode on CSI(the one with the Matrix guy, Morpeus, is on it). I think it's their halloween episode where a "vampire" was beheaded while he was staked on a barbed wire fence. Anyway, "Morpheus" sort of explained everything about Porphyria and not to mention, a Filipino version of a werewolf and a vampire - the aswang. =)

Hi nyang1984,
I do not think that Vampires exist. But are just imaginations of films or movie producers in creating what they imagine. I t does not really true since all ages that they do exist. If they exist, I would love to where they do and what era of man's existence did they exist.

I also am not able to answer it directly as I have not seen one to date.
But I guess there is this universal depiction of this creatures all over the world. They have their own versions which at one point they have similar characteristics. So I have this theory that they might exist before since the story still pervades to this day. The only thing that differs now from the past is that the belief has somehow became more of a myth than it was before where they actually were considered as reality.
