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) ;)

    Vampires DON’T exist in real life!
    Come on everybody! Open your eyes!
    If you are a vampire and you say that you are craving for blood, ITS PSYCHOLOGICAL!
    If you think vampires are cool then they’re cool, but they REALLY DON’T EXIST!

    If you are saying that it is really REAL and you yourself is REALLY a VAMPIRE, then why wouldn’t you SHOW EVIDENCE that you are really one?

    I had years of research for this and how to become one but it all results that they are just MYTHS!

    If someone here, thinks that they are really vampires, then show your EVIDENCE!

    Bite me and make me one if you are really a VAMPIRE so that I will BELIEVE…

    Vampires are created as entertainments and thrillers for movies, books, and other stories but don’t make it influence you.

    IF YOU WANT TO BE A VAMPIRE. YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO NONESENSE STUFF.

    I’ve been a vampire since 1947. I’ve been 18 for a while now. If I do say myself, a lot of these websites have everything wrong about our kind. Of course we don’t like the sun much, we don’t eat much human food (only when necessary, like when we’re around humans or at school and stuff), if you’re strong enough you can go without blood for more than a couple weeks. Our body temperature is quite chilly. Most people would say it is very unusual to have such a cold temperature. I’m also sure some of you have heard that we sometimes are created with a supernatural power or ability. It’s rare to get one of these gifts, but I do have one. I was created with the ability to push out whatever my feelings are, whether it is depressed or dismal to happy or joyful, to the people that surround me. I can push this ‘force’ out about 30 feet. My vampire family and I have still been working on my ‘force’. It is a very interesting subject. So if you have any questions about vampires ask me.

    I believe that half the posts on here are from small children or teens that have read some kind of vampiric fictional novel, by the latest post I would say “Twilight”

    How can some of you actually say that you are indeed vampires? I’ve read a lot of different posts of people claiming to be vampires but all say very different things. How can the rest of you believe this stuff? It is not real, and even if it was, why on earth would you think that they would share their secrets on the internet with just anyone to read.

    Hello,
    I see that there are a few people here who do not believe. I was curious of what those people who do say about vampires, what is it like? I am a person who wants to believe in vampires, and thinking of them not existing tears my heart into two pieces. Im curious of Jess the most. Being almost 18 myself. I was curious if someone could please show me proof of your existence. Im dying to know. (no pun intended). how can I find out if someone is a vampire by my? should i trust them to turn me? is it lonely? Please help me, understand/possibly turn.

    Jake,kaylee and Jess…
    can I ask that, is it that any vampire can just change one into a vampire or is it that only certain of them get to change people into vampire??I really badly want to become a vampire myself.><” can any of your help? =X

    Jess says:

    To answer Kelly’s question, being a vampire isn’t as bad as people are lead to believe. It is not lonely nor is it the coolest thing in the world. Sometimes you just feel normal, like you can fit in. It’s just not as easy for some of us. Though we are alike we are still different souls. And there is no proof to show you that we exsist only that you believe. I tell you all of this because I want people to understand and be curious and to use an imagination of thoughts and pictures they’ve created to know what it’s like. You cannot just find out if someone is a vampire. You have to sense it. You can only trust the vampires you know because some of our kind are very dangerous, though they shouldn’t be around many humans at one time unless they are strong and can handle the scent of humans and their blood.

    Mandy, this is a very simple question to answer. Every vampire can change someone, for the venom in all vampires flows in their mouth and on their teeth. It is like a human’s saliva except with venom. Some vampires only change a human if it is absolutely necessary. My family and I only live (poor choice of wording) off of the blood of animals in the wild while other vampires choose to drink human blood thus changing them into a vampire.

    Anyone else like to crack one at me? Happy to answer!

    To Jess I was wondering well ive done some research and i want to know the process of turning from the human side. Also i was wondering if there is any certain things you can do to turn without being bit.

  23. 67
    Jess says:

    Well, the process is simple though it takes a lot of time and pain. All the vampire must do is bite the person so the venom goes into the bloodstream. It is best that the bite is near to the heart becuase it is the most important thing to keep a human alive. There isn’t really any other way to turn. I say really because you could have an injection, but where would you get the venom? Highly unlikely. That was probably the easiest question I’ve answered. :)

    lonewolf says:

    Thank you for that. Now if you dont mind how trust worthy are you in turning people in vampires?

    mandy says:

    Jess, can you turn me ? and do you have like msn or something?

    oh and my elder sister told me that when a vampire feed on a human blood, the human will die..and if a vampire were to change someone, the vampire only have to bite the person, is it this way? =x

    curiousgirl says:

    Hey Jess, i was wondering if you can go into the sunlight? would you burn? also, when you change does your body change also? like to change into more appealing features?
    sorry im just curious, your probably thinking “what what a stupid twilight vamp wannabe” thanks for you time :)

    Valley of the damned says:

    wow you people are idiots, i love the taste of blood, and i am really pale, also i have sharp teeth, i don’t get hurt at all, and also i am always cold no matter how warm the temperature is, but this does not mean i am a fucking vampire. For everyone who is on this site has either seen the movie “Bloodrayne” or read or seen the “Twilight” series. i have read both and seen both, but this does not mean i am a vampire. All my signs just make me a clear psycho, just like all of you, there is no such things as vampires, and you all need some help if you think you are or can be a vampire.

  28. 72
    lonewolf says:

    To valley of the Damned sorry to rain on your parade here. But if there is no such thing as vampires. Then what you are saying is that throughout history Vampires were just a legend that started out in transylvania and then spread to all of the world and got famous. How does a simple idea do that back in 1200? Not even a printing press was invented then to spread the word and there is no way someone travled the whole earth or got some people to. Which case if you have faith in vampires just like any god or whatever you want to beleive in then it very well could exist.

    Ko says:

    Law of attraction.
    Use your subconscious mind to think of it, and not directly like “i am a vampire i want to be a vampire”
    If you are, you are, if you are not, no you are not.
    Do not assume you are neither not.
    Vampires don’t always lead easy lives o.0

    Jess says:

    I cannot turn you because you want to be. It is only done when absolutely necessary. Plus I don’t know where you are and i don’t know your scent so I can track it. Mandy, your sister is right. That is exactly how things work in this world of blood.
    Sure we can go in the sunlight. It just bothers us a bit because our eyes are very sensitive to the rays. When you change you still look like yourself, you just look more cutting edge and beautiful. Like me! :)
