Mythical vampires-According to the classical definition that reigned in the middle-age, a
vampire is an animated corpse that survives by drinking the blood of the living. It also has a demonic nature and is a servant
of Satan, dedicated to spreading its evil throughout the world.
Psychotic vampires-A psychotic vampire is a person who has a sociopath mental illness that
leads him (an exclusive male trait) to behave like a vampire, and sometimes to actually self-identify as one
Animal vampires-Why should vampirism be a disease limited to only human corpses ? Bats and
the vampire fish are the surviving species of another age but the case of Chupacabra is more troublesome ...
Human Living Vampires- Human Living Vampires (HLV's) are individuals who, while they firmly
assert that they are essentially human beings, and to all external appearances are exactly that, nevertheless have pronounced
vampiric characteristics having a need, compulsion, or involuntary tendency to "feed" upon some substance or some kind of
energy produced by other living things, primarily other people.
TWO TYPES OF THESE ARE:
+Psychic vampires-Psychic vampires
are living people who have the ability, consciously or unconsciously of draining life-energy (prana, chi, life-force …) rather than blood from others.
+Sanguinarians-Within the vampire community,
blood-drinkers are commonly known as sanguines or sanguinarians. The word is taken from the Latin sanguis, which
means literally, “blood.”
Blood Fetishists- The Blood Fetish Vampire or blood fetishist is a human person who derives intense
erotic/sexual arousal or satisfaction from the taste, sight, or feel of human blood.

Vampire hunters- Vampire hunters are professionals whose job it to clean an
area from vampires that may affect it. In the ancient time, especially in Greece and Serbia, it was a recognized profession.
Today, a few people still pretend to hunt vampires as Manchester from the Highgate Vampire story.
Vampyres-Vampyre Lifestylers or "Vampyres" (as opposed to "Vampires") are individuals
who are attracted to the contemporary vampire lore and who seek to emulate it by dressing in exotic vampire-like costumery,
decorating their homes in dark Victorian (or funeral parlor) gloom, assuming prosthetic fangs and colored contact lenses.
It is partly outgrown but distinct from the Gothic subculture.
Vampiric community-"Vampiric community" or "vampire community" is a term forged to loosely indicate all
those who self-defined or fell under any definition of "vampire. “Vampiric” would in a broader sense include people
who do not use the term "vampire" and those who are supporters, sympathizers and "donors."
Medical vampires-People who are thought to be vampires, because of illnessess.
