Here is some intresting and I think amusing old folklore I found, about how to spot a vampire. Think there might be one lurking in your nighboorhood? Well here are a few ways you can find out for sure.
1. To find if a vampire is living in a particular cemetary, first choose a child young enough to be a virgin. Seat the child on a virgin horse of a solid color that has never stumbled. Lead the horse through the cemetary, passing over all the graves. If the horse refurses to pass over a particular grave, a vampire is lying there.
2. At night in a cemetary, look for a bluish flame glowing above a vampire’s grave. This blue glow represents the vampires soul.
3. Also in the cemetary, look for graves with holes in them, or graves sporting crooked crosses or tombstones. This is vampire territory.
4. Ask someone who was born on Saturday to check out anyone you are wondering about. People born on this day of the week can tell vampires just by looking at them.
5. Digu up the body of the suspected vampire and check for suspcious lack of decay, bloodstains around the mouth, open eyes, or extra long finger nails.
6. Be suspscious who wears only black, looks litteraly as if he has never seen the sun and refuses to eat garlic.
Ok the last one is kind of cheesy but nonetheless it is fun to explore old lore and myth and of course most these things are rather outdated considering the evolution of the mondern vampire, but it is all for fun, and still of interest.

LOL! According to this, I have may have unwittingly known or been around many vampires in my time…
LOL, indeed that is quite true
OMG! I dated one! He was very pale and had sharper teeth he HATED Italian food! Especially garlic bread!!!! His “house” was located near a grave yard!
We are still close friends! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!
Well if he has not already tried to have you for dinner, then I would say you are safe
Lazistath de Waroxz has no intention to prove his reakening for everyone, who the heck he is, my father who unfortunally raped my mum thus I am here, and at my birth I was dead-born see, and has this imidiet prominent problem – I die over and over again, its as if my soul is not, maybe Im one…
this website is so freakin lame and is all crap if we really want to find out if someone is a vampire we would rather find out in a way that does not involve a cemetary. does anyone really believe this crap.
I suppose you missed the part at the beigning where I stated that it came from Folklore? You do understand what folklore is do you not?
Based on your reponses it seems you are the only one taking it seriously, sense you acutally seem angry about it for some reason, everyone else takes it all in good fun
In reply to what “Demon Hunter” posted,
just beacuse somebody is very pale, has sharp teeth, hates italian food, and lives near a graveyard does not mean hes a vampire. you should’nt worry about him.
And that old folklore oh how to spot a vampire.-
thats hilarious! people back then had no idea of what they were talking about! lol
most if not all “historical” cases of vampirism can be easily explained by todays advancements in science and medicine.
madness is all i have to say.
Ummmm I’d like more info on wars between the vamps and lycans. Ya know like with van belmont and dracula…
i find this topic very interesting seeing as since i am a vampire myself
i wish i could talk to someone who is itersted in this topic like me
Interesting blog post! I love the old myths and the new tales that seem to pop up with urban fantasy too.
Take care,

it is funny how people react to these things sady some folklore is true there have been many case’s that have pointed it out yet most of these case’s have been covered up along with history most people now adays try not to think of these case’s since has almost covered them up but us few try to recover them
this is soo interesting i luv vampires and such i am not one no i don’t drink blood from anything and i know vampires are now related to sex which i find intriguing that ppl think that way i think it is them who is interested in sex not the vampires we know and love although some maybe just like us could be
i was only on this for hmwrk lol i find it interesting i played the ouja bored and it said there is a vampire among the group i was with n my friend has been acting strange ever since lol
but just 1 thing do u not think half the country would see the blue light above the grave n hu new vampires have funeral i know its folklore but its still interesting
I was born in 1658
I’m a Vampiro… that’s how we call ourselfs.
And these are the exact was that you can spot me, for that you will die in your sleep.All of you.
I’m just here cuz of a project but i regret i came here cuz i ran into you losers.
This is all very interesting, however, this is not true for the common vampire of these ages, any persons who are looking just need to look in the correct places, good luck in your searches, as you will need it less you want to become a meal.
I tryed one of them and it didnt work. I have been looking for a vampire for a long time. i really want to meet one,i kind of want to marry one and become one myself.i have even look at so many web site you cant even think of.i really want to meet one so can you help me out some more,im desperate.p.s. i dont know what but im only 14 and i dont care what people say about im too young.I DONT CARE! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ABOUT THAT!
thank you,

vampires can be quite civil. apparently, i have several as good feinds. er… friends. i personally think that blood dolls are stupid, ignorant, fanciful people.
i mean, if you are that sadistic, that you kill people who are to ignorant to realize wut their asking for…
you must really want to go to hell. talk about masochistic. or you are such a dumb “goth” vamp. worshiper that you have deluded yourself into thinking that you are a vampire. and that is just stupid.
plus, you’ve killed people for that stupid delusion.
Even tho people choose not to think that vampires are real, I really more then any thing want to. I mean who really knows for sure there isn’t vampires they could have been created along with every thing else in this world.. Well I’d like to think so anyways..I have this sudden erge to think about vampires and every thing that they stand for.. I’m no goth but i am only human right? If I should ever happen to come across such an amazing person My life would be complete!
I think im a vamp cuz i HATE HATE HATE the sun. it really does hurt my eyes. I’m not pale but i go out side a lot at the beach and close my eyes and lie in the BURNING sand. I kinda like the taste of blood(i’m so weird)and i’m known to have like the best grades in my school. i never get cold except in negative degrees when everyone is FREEZING. i stay up all night and almost never sleep or eat. i look like a freakin eight year old and im twelve. TWELVE! i feel so weird talkin about this but i think we are just people who are alien to most others and they wish not to be around.
the disease that actually exists is like v5. these ppl need blood. i dont really need it from someone else but still…
Ha, ha, ha… I am caught in the war. I am the child of a vampress and lycan, and seem to now be a cross between the two. It’s sad, because I scare people once they look into my eyes. Also, nobody believes I’m twelve!!! They keep telling me to go bsck to elementary school in Mark Twain. I can’t grow because I only eat “normal” food.
I think some them are stupid answers but are so funny I nearly PMSL (peed my self laughing.) I might of seen a vamp in my time.
i hope this work because me and my frind alwys wont to see an 14,15,16,or17year old vampire
