How To Become a Vampire

I was looking at some search stats and noticed that this question (how to become a vampire?) was more common than you might expect. Every day, nearly 100 people were looking for a way to join the ranks of the stylish undead. “An interesting topic for a little tutorial”, I thought. Hence this post.

It seems the jury’s still out on how, exactly, vampires are created. Some sources cite ancient beliefs (mostly useless superstition), some insist on the popular bitten-by-vampire myth, and some claim that you simply can’t “become” a vampire if you’ve been born human. Maybe there’s no single way. So, instead of focusing on any of the aforementioned approaches, I’ll describe three common vampiric features that you can attain without any supernatural help.

Hypnotism (AKA Mesmerism)

“True” vampires have it easy – some mind-control skills are supposedly included in the whole dark revenant package, along with good looks and sharp teeth. But don’t despair, … wait, no, despair is cool. Ahem. As I was saying, hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming are well within the reach of mere mortals, so you are free to learn and use it – even if your heart is still beating. Head over to Google or Amazon.com and check out the numerous sites and books available. Just don’t fall for the “forbidden secrets revealed!!” shtick and you should be fine.

To get an (optimistic) idea of what you might achieve, take a look at Derren Brown. He’s done some very impressive things (videos).

Night Vision

Excellent low-light vision is something I’ve always wanted. You can improve your night vision by using a few tricks, and science might eventually figure something out.

The most promising idea I discovered is NightWalking. The website has a heavy slant towards philosophy/spirituality that reminds me vaguely of Carlos Castaneda, but it also contains a detailed guide on improving your peripheral vision. As you might already know, in a situation when there’s very little light, peripheral vision is much more effective than central vision. Better peripheral vision = better night vision, so this is definitely something worth trying.

Dark and Mysterious

The “dark” part won’t be a problem – just pick something from the wide range of goth stuff available. Maybe invest in coloured contact lenses and/or appropriate makeup.

As for being mysterious, well… * nods and smiles knowingly *

Ah, okay, I’ll be more verbose. There’s a bunch of lame tutorials about “how to be mysterious” on the web, but they’re generally a crazy mix of the somewhat useful and the completely ridiculous. In my opinion the coveted “aura of mysteriousness” is a pinch of secrecy + a certain form of inner confidence. And it’s not the kind of confidence that lets you approach strangers and sing on stage. I’m talking about the kind that frees you from seeking external validation of your thoughts, actions and existence. This is something that very few people have, but it can be learned. Think.

Miscellaneous Thoughts

I suspect most people in the “how to become a vampire” crowd are looking for a shortcut to becoming cool (is that a pun?). That is understandable. My main reservation about this is that it’s an unlikely shortcut — and that most wanna-be’s don’t really understand what they’re asking for when they say “I want to be a vampire!”.

Personally, I consider the concept of blood-craving bona-fide vampires unrealistic. I haven’t seen any reasonable biological explanations for it, and the idea that “it’s magic!” doesn’t do it for me on this overall low-magic planet. Psychic vampirism is a different thing entirely, but there’s generally nothing glamorous about being unable to sustain your existence without becoming a (possibly unknowing) parasite. Okay, parasitism might not be the only way, but I won’t discuss that here.

Hey, this is probably the weirdest post on this site (so far) ;)

    are all of you people insane? i am a vampire i was changed because of my inhuman powers me and my other clan members mackenzie anabella and demelza. have gone through the pain of the change we become pale because we have all the blood drained out of our body because our heart has stopped beating. the venom of the vampire is then ejected into where we were bitten then it travels through our body killing us taking over the blood and mixing with it. this takes about 48 hours or a tid bit more. it is a horrifying and painfull experience. you will usally remember only large things of your human life.

    _juilet lliveill_ Hello im glad you posted that up to everyone…but I highly doubt anyone will listen : (

  3. Unfortunately, Vincilia, no one listens anyways. There have been quite a few of these people who will just not quit and stop trying to have us change them. I was born vampyre (as it is supposed to be correctly spelled) and even being born this way, it still is a burden and quite painful.

    Vincilia says:

    I will admitt that I have tried to get many vampyre to change me Littelle but it weird that i would know what ya”ll go through i write stories of ya”ll.

  5. That is quite interesting. I don’t care for many people revealing our true selves to humans however. Most of us are quite solitary. Key word there is MOST…

    Vincilia says:

    The weird thing is, I can feel my stories within me….most of the time it’s the pain sometimes the romanticies. I don’t like one of my stories,because it is completely false….but once I found out through a vamprye friend of mine of who your kind really are. I feel kinda bad about trying to get one of these vamprye on here to change me…knowing how much pain it could cause both of us.

    ok I’d like to point out that I do have the palest skin u have eva seen, 2 pairs o pointy teeth(the top 1’s r more pointy) I went thro this faze where I would think blood tasted good (back when i was upsest wit vaps) But I havnt been fr almost 1 year, n just recently I have dreemed about bittin my arm, n havin blood spill out as I drank it, wantin more…… That was after my upsestion. some people may think that that makes me a vamp…. I think thats bull!!!!! Now then I sugest some 1 Show me a real vap cause there ant no way I will belive other ways!!!
    P.S Have a nice day^^

  8. Excuse me, Maddie, but you may not realize how many of us here that you’ve just offended. Some of us here are quite older than you may think us as. I myself am far older than you may think I am. I may only remember the last 600 years, but I know that I’ve been through far more experiences than that. You’d better watch what you say here, I’m very easy to anger and it’s not fun when I am. Please do watch what is said here.

    Thatnx fr that worning^^ I really do mean thanx!!
    N I dont mean to afeand u, (n I dont usaly get so rilled up…) I supose its the fact that wat eva I belive in seems to disapear in front o my eyes. So i have decided, that I will not belive till i see!! I already see plenty o ghosts, so i belive in dem, I also belive in a buss station n such. But i how eva dont (yet) belive in vaps, or living a life wit no money probs, (cuse as u can see most peeps, got no money at all, in this time in life)
    Just because 1 person dosnt belive dont mean that another wont, so u dont have to take it to heart…. Fr instance if I were to tell u that I am increadablt gorgess, u may not belive me cuse u havnt seen me, how eva some 1 who has seen me would. That at the moment is how I am like. So dont let it get on ur nerves.

    P.S
    If vamps were real, I would suspect that most o em have lived ova 1000 o years. So u might not want to go accusin me o wat i might n might not kno….. But then i again I might not kno anythin..^^
    Hope u cool down,
    ~ Maddie

    is it possible to be born as a vampire in an all human family?

    Charles huntclifff says:

    Hi all,
    My theory is-
    Thee who does not live will determine their fate.!

    LoveXisXdead- unfortuantly.
    You don’t know if your family’s generation was besed upon vampire’s.

    However,
    Their is a possibility the DNA structure could of skipped a few generation’s (300years-400)

    I am based in london, under the rail track.
    Beneth the vent’s.

    If you got back to the first ever post’s and look of charles huntifff you will find my address.
    if you live in london that is of course.

    We can tell you info about us and show you things you wouldn’t belive

    I thought fr sure I was gonna get alot of mouth after my last email, but it seems I’ve only pissed 1 vamp off, (that is if such a thing were real) but it seems the only thing people want to belive in, is there amaganation, now that really is a wonderfull gift, but has any1 on this site eva seen a vamp face 2 face?? Or has it all been a buch of ballony?? some might ask why I am being such a butt, thats because I had my only friend kill by a so called vamp, that she had met on this site. they planned to met on the border of mexico. He had sent hr a photo so she knew wat he looked like, n she sent him a photo…. She had video taped the whole thing live so I could watch it at the same time that it was happening……. The tape showed the same man, standing above hr with a crow bar raised over his head…. The camra she was tapping with was hidden on the inside of hr jaket. New tecknolagey made it so that camra could she throu the coat with a whole that was imposible to see, so he couldnt of seen it. He took that crow bar that was over his head n brought it down wit such force that it broke hr head… he kept beeting hr till she was a magled peice of death… They found hr body in the ocean, 2 months l8er…..
    Was that guy actully a vamp. Defently NOT!!!!!! but he did kill hr….
    Have any of yall vamp belivers actully seen a vamp??? Thought not.
    Dont belive every thing u read.. Some day it coulg get u killed.

  16. Maddie, as that was an unfortunate circumstance and somehow related to this site, I’ve seen and spoken with my share of true vampires. My mate is a hybrid as well as my best friends and an old friend of mine who I haven’t seen in quite a while. I don’t give out names other than my own for any one…. However, Maddie, just because someone was claiming they were a vampyre, and killed someone with some object, doesn’t mean that they are or aren’t vampyre. Some of our kind are quite mean and cruel unfortunately which is how we obtain a bad name for the rest of us who are really quite respectful. But I must agree with you that not everything you read you should believe, let alone some things you see (especially on the news reports). Why don’t you email me sometime…MorganSin_Littelle@hotmail.com I’d love to talk to you about this there please. (And I’m quite sorry for being so mean the last time I posted. I wasn’t in a good mood. I’d just had some recent problems, and it wasn’t right for me to take them out on someone else. Forgive me, please.)

    Tom james says:

    IS belief something you doubt?
    Is death something you fear?

    What is death and what is apprehended after death?

    There are thousands of claimed species in this planet-
    mermades (Real) but not a human, a little fish in the shape of a human but doesn’t infact look like one.

    Fairy- without a doubt they are absulutly fake.

    goblins- These arn’t real.

    Alien: UAF

    God: Who knows?

    Jesus: Yes, but he was powerfull because of his knowlegde not because he supposebly had supperia powers.

    Vampires: Who said these arn’t real?

    Death: most: certainly real- Deathis real.
    Something has to happen after death?
    Has to happen?
    Nothing just can not happen!

    So why arn’t vampires real?

    I have some webcam footage of a real.
    With out a doubt a real vampires.

    And it does has some proof he is one.

    It starts of with a random dude laughing on a camera- He starts to bite himself.
    Blood rushes out from his insercular system.
    Falls on the floor.
    Rises with a rat belive it or not rapped around his scrawny little hands.!

  20. Maddie, I accept your apology, but please be aware of what you are saying before you type it. I must admit we all sometimes do that and don’t realize what we are doing. I emailed you, and I believe you may have accidentally typed a 2 for an @ sign, yes? I’ll speak to you in email.

    (N/A) NOT AVALIBLE says:

    Alot of people on here who say they are the (night walker) are lying ive been one since I was 8 years old as I said a wile ago on page 15 of this sight… I have not yet tasted blood i have kept myself from feeding for about 7 years now.

    I am 15 years old now and hungry but normal human food does not help me very much…and another thing vampirism is a far less evolved version of canabalism that was discovered early in the 1200’s by a man studying the human body that had human tissue inside of his mouth… and human blood in the stomache. Later on they found a disease they called canabalism witch takes over the human brain causing the hunger for human blood… unexplained but true…

  24. 608
    (N/A) NOT AVALIBLE says:

    This disease is airborn but not easily caught it strikes the healthier only little chance does it give the less healthier person’s a small chance to be caught, but some people are just crazy and eat other people(sick is another word)

    And also that thing i said about the 1200’s they actually called it vampirism i made a mistake… because they found a dead bat 4 years before the body ans noticed the teeth… there for they called it vampirism.

  25. 609
    Maddie says:

    so ur basicly saying that if u have sharp teeth ur going 2 have a cannable disease….
    srry I couldnt help^^

  26. Those comments before Maddie’s last were quite inconciderate of us here. We are not diseased, nor are we lyers. For those of you who think we are, be it lyer or diseased in the Not Available’s opinion, try meeting us in person and seeing for yourself what we are truly like. I’m no cannabal. I’m Omnivorous as anyone can be, I’m just picky, I’m no carnivor nor cannabal. I’d hate to eat my own kind. It’s just simply not decent nor well mannered. I’d suggest you pay heed to this and take warning, I’ve been quite irritable as of late and have been in some quite foul moods. Don’t test my patience please.

    the sorrow of life and the sweat simplicity of death, to be re-awoken just to have to go through both, ah but just a nice dream..

    Maddie says:

    ummmmm wat the heck did u say?? I couldnt understand that.
    I’ve been having some weird dreams, night-mears actully, like I dreamed that I was in a hotell surounded by water, and there was 2 bombs that were about 2 go off, I tryed everything I could 2 stop them from going off, But in order 2 save my-self I ennded up jummping off the hotell roof. The dream changed where I was wit my class, where the bomb had gone off. I looked at where the hotell used 2 be, n saw 2 grups of ghosts, 1 small n 1 big. the small group jumped right before the bomb went off. the small group didnt make it, nither did the big 1. It was like a reoncarnation of wat happened. then I went under the water n saw all the bodies of the peeps that had died. I just recently had a dream that a deamoned took my bro on a ship n covered his face wit I guess puss so he couldnt see. I tryed 2 save my bro… But the deamoned thru him in the water. I jumped in 2 save him.. But he had already drowned… These Night-mares have made me the most scared that I have ever been… Well not quite true, but still!! I want 2 kno wat my dreams mean n why I’m having them.
