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 I’ll change you but where can we meet?
Well Vamp_curious I’m 16 and I know alot bout vampires believe me I am one and I don’t think that this is just a site for teens.But I’m not sure.
well vampiredude, the reason i ask is because i am not 16 or even 18. so what i say to anyone who is around that age needs to be careful what they say. vampire or not. i say this because the internet is a dangerous place and although ‘I’ am only curious of what i am of, there are others who are not. so promise to be careful.
so, i guess since someone is finally answering me, i can get some other questions answered? if you look above the couple past mssgs…you’ll find my first questions. could someone answer them? either on here or my email. i’d appreciate it.
Hey there, i have been following these posts for quite a long time and I’m very fond of vampires and Dhampir… I have been searching for REAL LIFE VAMPIRES for quite a while but unfortunately the country(Ile de France; Mauritius) where I live in, I don’t think there is any vampire.. So does that mean, there’s no chance of turning me into a Vampire??.. This desire of mine keeps increasing day by day… Is there anyone who can help me?

Common Symptoms of Vampirism
Note: this is not to be used as a checklist of any sort. A person can have most of these traits and still not be a vampire. Vice versa a person can have none of these traits and still be a vampire.
-Being more Nocternal
-Having better than normal night vision
-Sensitivity to bright lights and UV lights
-Blood cravings and blood lust
-Heightened physical abilities and senses. (No super strength, but some vampires can be stronger and faster than normal.)
-Acute hearing, smell, and touch
-Duel-Personality when blood cravings go on for too long.
-Increased psychic abilities
-Commonly drawn to the vampire of fiction and myth.
-Migraines and constant headaches
-Moodswings
-Sense of being seperate from everyone else, a sense of not being normal
-Above average intellegence
-Can have ADD and ADHD
These are some of the most common symptoms of psychic and sanguin vampirism. The primary symptom all vampires feel is the craving for blood. You do not need to have all these symptoms to be a vampire, only the craving for blood determines vampirism. (Even psi-vamps crave blood without knowing it, but it does not substain them.) It is always important to check with a doctor if you have any of these symptoms before claiming to be a vampire.

Sorry i din’t post for a while. Hey guys xD Brothers and sisters (and the odd human poster) Hi to all xD
mandy- i am 27. will be 28 in july.
tellmesomething- iam not odd….just curious by nature. i’ve always had these questions, and i have found a place maybe someone can answer.
the only thing anyone has ever told me was to have someone bite me….i just want to know, either way. i’m mature enough to know what would happen if someone did…and mature enough to know if i do or not. so i guess i just want to know what is true and what isn’t. i don’t want to think i know something about your lifestyles and then come to find out they’re all lies….or hollywood stories…so if someone could help me, i’d sure appreciate it.
