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
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) 😉

ok. heres the thing. im not sure if im a vampire or not. i dont have pale skin or any special talents(i dont think) but i have this insane thirst for blood. my teacher suggested iron deficiency(sp). and i already ruled out that possibility a long time ago. i mean im dependant apon blood for my nutrition. i can live without it but i crave it. and im rather sensative to the smell of blood. im just really bothered why i cant seem to find an answer to my odd behavior. and if vampire is a possibilty im really worried about the people around me. any help on the situation??? PLEASE!
I’m not sure how i became a dhampir but one day i woke up with an insane thirst and water wasn’t cutting it. so about a month ago i went to the doctors and they said that i was hypoglycemic. but later that day when cut my self i had an want 4 the blood hat was flowing out of my arm. and i feel fine after i drink some blood.
there are multiple ways to help stop cravings but most involve pain to u or another person.
1.u can cut ur self and drink ur blood
or
2.u can try to resist ur cravings and most likely fail and go on a blood rampage.
there is a possibility that u arn’t a vamp and u are a dhampir like me. there are a few dhampirs that i know of but we are spread out in the U.S. and i am the only one with a blood craving. and it is a pain in my @$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELL……HERES THE THING I DO CRAVE BLOOD AND YES I DO DRINK MY OWN BLOOD. I PREFER GOING OUT AT NIGHT BUT HERES WHY I THINK THAT IAM A DHAMPIR……I CAN GO OUTSIDE AND NOT GET BURNED BY SUNLIGHT. MY VISION IS EXCELLENT AT NIGHT. SO I HONESTLY REALLY THINK IAM A DHAMPIR. ITS A GREAT FEELING.

it comes with birth and blood given by another. nothing on the internet is safe anymore. nothing is real. go to tampa, florida, and ask anyone on the street for Darkness Rising. the only gang that knows ANYTHING about vampires, Dhampirs, and any other thing. there is your destiny. find us, and we will reward you. we are wating.
Yeahh, I dont like notbeing able to o out in the sunlight all the time, but it does have its ups && downss.

You people honestly make me want to kill myself.
” i ish da mean blud drinking vampiire who can nt spel”
How old are you? Five? Jeeze, Mari, and Joe. Honestly.
Vampirism is an ancient belief that many have sought after. Its certianally not going to be rewarded to some bafoon who types like a gorilla…
No, I’m not saying that all Vampyres have proper grammer or that they speak good English. What I am saying is that usually those who go around brodcasting the the world that they are a Vampyre or Dampyre fall a little short.
Self-feeding, by the way, is excruciatingly painful, and rarely actually covers any cravings you might be experiancing, as well as making yourself dreadfully sick.
Please, don’t mock a beautiful legend with your stupidity. Its not fair to those of us who actually think.
people plz help, i want to become a dhampir so bad i get a thurst for blood a strong urge for humans. i have a girl friend and when we kiss i get a urg of blood of her human smell. how can i get the vampire atributes. plz help. u can text me at 812-202-2553 or email me at paintball_king92@hotmail.com plz hurry.

Hello. I’m Kaylee. I’m 12 years old. My mother was a Vampire and my father is a Human. My mother died because she didn’t drink any blood because she didn’t want to hurt anyone. But,before she died she wanted to know what my blood tasted like so she bit me.
Now, there are 2 scars on my neck and my eyes turn red. Is that normal? And I offen have a hunger for blood. I almost drank my little sisters blood once when she was 7. She said that I had fangs and my eyes started to glow red again. I have no clue if that’s true but I couldnt controll myself untill my dad walked in the room. I need your help. I’m very terrified at what I’ve become. Please reply at my e-mail: kayleeseno@yahoo.com
Like idk if i am or not but i think there cool, but my mother tells me its not real and i should get those thoughts out of my head. When i see blood in movies i makes me wanna try it and when i get cuts i always lick the blood and my older brother yells at me telling me thats yucky. and like I’m in the line where im confused and don’t know or how to. i wouldn’t mind being a vampire, but drinking 4 qints of blood is kinda silly. =l someone help. myspace.com/kairi23 or email me at kotacub@yahoo.com
