Am I a Vampire? Signs That You Could Be Awakening as a Vampire

Could I Be Turning?
Vampires. Vampirism. Terms that are deeply rooted in ancient mythology and legend and seen in modern times on the big screen and in novels. But could vampires be real? Are there people that believe they are truly vampires? The answer to both questions is an astounding - Yes!
The fact that vampires exist, however, should not be confused with the Hollywood image of a vampire - a being of the undead who can shapeshift into a bat and also seduces unwilling victims in order to suck their blood. This glorified, storybook image of the vampire is incorrect and does not explain or represent real vampirism in the least. In fact, there are different types of vampires in the world and more and more people are coming to the realization that they could be turning...or perhaps awakening into the life of a real vampire.
Types of Vampires: Sang and Psi Vampires
There are two main categories of real vampires - Sanguinarian Vampires (Sang Vamps for short) and Psychic vampires (Psi Vamps for short).
A Sang Vampire is the type of vampire that feels a strong need to consume blood. They feel as though they need blood in order to survive. If they don't consume blood, many of them claim to get very sick indeed. There is no scientific evidence to support this claim, but there are many things in this world that science has yet to explain. The Sang Vampire may appear more pale than their non-Sang counterparts and sometimes have canine teeth that might be a little more noticeable; however, they typically look just like any other human being. There are other types of people in this world that claim to be Sang Vampires, but if they have a sexual desire linked to blood, this means that they are not a true Sang Vampire at all. The Sang Vampire community states that they are peaceful beings and mainly acquire their blood from willing human donors. If a willing human donor cannot be found, a Sang Vampire can live off of animal blood; however, the blood must usually always be heated before consumption.
A Psi Vampire is the second major type of Vampire in which the Vampire feels the need to draw energy in a psychic way, or more simply put, needs to draw energy from others' auras. Have you ever met a stranger or gone to an event in which you left and felt inexplicably drained of your energy? It is possible that you came in contact with a Psi Vampire, though most Psi Vampires don't steal others' energy. Maybe it was a Psi Vampire who didn't even realize they were a Psi Vampire. The way you feel when you lost that energy is how a Psi Vampire feels all of the time, unless they feed upon others' energies.

Signs & Symptoms of Sang Vampirism - Sanguinarian Awakening
If you join or follow a Sanguinarian site or Community, you will find that they don't give verifiable typical "symptoms" or "signs" that one is awakening into the life of a Sang Vampire; however, there are certain clues that one might be a Sang Vampire that I will share with you here.
Primary Symptoms:
- the taste of blood or accidental consumption of blood, usually their own, revived them and gave them more energy than they'd felt before
- feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and heightened senses after consuming blood
- an insatiable desire to consume blood, blood-cravings (though not in a sexual manner)
- oversensitivity to sunlight, inability or difficulty to tan
- a second and more angry personality that comes out when inhibitions are lowered, either during times of drinking, drugs, or tense situations (and no this doesn't mean schizophrenia or bipolar disorder)
Secondary Symptoms:
- psychic abilities and/or senses
- empathic thoughts and feelings around others
- many of the Sang Vampires claim to have awakened sometime in their teen years
- food allergies or sensitivities
- a drawing or obsession with the image of a vampire, even from a very young age
- a tendency to feel accepted or a part of the gothic community
- chronic and cycling bouts of depression or melancholia
- migraine headaches and possible GI problems
- overemotional, melodramatic (though you are just expressing your emotions in the way you feel most natural)
- heightened physical senses, such as hearing, smell, taste, and touch. So much so that certain things bother you, such as loud or screeching noises or pungent aromas.
These symptoms have all been identified by real Sang Vampires on various Sang Vampire internet communities and support groups. Though, keep in mind, that even if you have all or some of the secondary symptoms, this does NOT necessarily mean that you are a vampire. The blood cravings and sensitivity to sunlight are the most primary symptoms and will determine if you are a Sang Vampire or not. Your awakening has to come from within you, no one else can tell you if you are or are not a Vampire.
And by the way, if you are a depressed and pale teenager that likes Twilight - NO, that probably doesn't mean you're a vampire!
Signs & Symptoms of Psi Vampirism - Psi Awakening
A Psi Vampire awakening usually occurs differently than a Sang Vampire awakening and why? Because it is a totally different type of vampirism. Psychic Vampires need energy from others in order to survive, but they do not need to gain this energy in the form of a physicality such as blood (Sang Vampires do). Instead, psi vampires need to feed off of other humans' life force, aura, or pranic energy. Psi Vampires have a natural lack of energy in their aura or pranic energy, so they need to take in extra from others in order to feel energetic and focused and be able to live day to day.
Psi Awakening Symptoms:
- a tragic event occurs
- depression or mania takes over
- repetitive illness occurs
- random body aches and pains
- stomach sensitivity to juice, citrus fruits, wine, coffee, or anything acidic
- sadness and feelings of hopelessness and no reason behind these new feelings
- an ability to feel what others are feeling, strong senses of empathy
- sometimes sensitivity to sunlight
As mentioned in the Sang Vampire symptoms, these are all speculated and told via other Psi Vampires, so even if you have all of these symptoms, that does not necessarily mean that you are awakening as a Psi Vampire. You need to do your research and maybe talk to people who are Psi Vampires, and also do some self-searching in order to determine what you are or are not.
Conclusion on Sang & Psi Awakenings
Do I believe that I am awakening as a Sang or Psi Vampire? No. This hub was merely to open peoples' eyes to the fact that there are people out there that believe they have a real energy deficiency or life force deficiency and that vampirism could seriously be a real thing. These people are not to be feared, as they are not enemies or criminals. Nor are they violent in any way. Most of the Sang and Psi Vampires, all of the TRUE ones, believe in asking and taking from a willing source for their feedings. They are merely a different type of person, so we should not criticize or judge them. As weird or "out-there" as this may seem to you or even to me, they are still people. Let's respect others' beliefs and lifestyles by being open minded and educating ourselves on REALITY .
Misconceptions and biases are the blight of mankind...so fight those forces.

Bud - Hey, Buddy! Thanks for coming back to comment so soon. And thanks so much for your compliments. Yes, I do my research as far as keyword searches etc. in Google usually before I even write my hubs and then I do a lot of research and couple that with my knowledge on the topics. Michelle Belanger is certainly a cool person and knows a LOT on the topic of vampirism and is an active member in the community. Thanks, again. You rock!
Hey Kitty! Nice hub! Since I am an aging and tan lover of Twilight, I guess I'm not any kind of vampire. Mom says I was born tired, so that's just more proof.
I have always been fascinated by the subject of vampires, as well as werewolves. I have not read your "hubber" page in awhile, so I have forgotten. Is paranormal your specialty? I noticed that all your hubs lately are in that stream. I just wondered. Fascinating stuff, all of it! I'll keep reading if you keep writing! Voted up and interesting!
Hey, laidbacklady! Hilarious! I'm the same way in that I have a major obsession with werewolves & vamps, too. But, I have an obsession with everything paranormal, really. Yes, paranormal info and writing is my specialty, I'm actually working on a Paranormal Romance novel at the moment, too. Thanks for voting.
This was very well thought out. You spent some time and did your research, and it shows
will345davis - Thank you, I appreciate your compliments. I did do a lot of research on the matter, and found it quite compelling! :)
Interesting article. Very well written, and quite knowledgeable on the subject. I never gave it much thought before, but you sure make it sound inviting. Thanks for sharing.
d.william - I didn't either until I learned that we have a vampire community in Tampa, that actually attend one of the gothic clubs in Ybor City. Very interesting stuff, the vampirism thing. Thanks for reading!
Well researched and intriquing hub.
pmccray - Thanks so much!
KTD,
I think there ARE different vamps evidently the blood suckers are one or never were - but psi-vamps are real if ou have ever met one of those peple who you always leave you tired and seemingly drained- they might not even know theyre the psi-vampires... Ive had people who you talk to and you leave their office and want to take a nap....
TH
Tom - Yes, if you read my part about Psi Vamps, I said the exact same thing. I do believe there are blood-drinkers out there, I don't know that I would call them blood-suckers, though. But they do believe that they acquire energy and life force from blood, so who are we to say they don't? Thanks for reading, again. :)
Kitty,
I am just saying the "architypical" vampires "the movie style" retractable fangs,cant stand sunlight- burns the skin stake to the heart ...probably dont exist anymore...the psy vamps are probably a hybrid form of those old vamps and regular or maybe psycic people-
its the old addage evolve or die...
TH
tom - Ohh, I got ya. Very true and good theory! I love it.
Kitty
cool thanks ... if I only could spell...
TH
a very intersting Read.. but I still cannot locate the first chapters to your werewolf saga
I always thought vampires were quite interesting, maybe it would be fun to try it for a day....hmmmm. I'll keep you posted Kitty, well researched and informative write! Rated as such.
Frank - I posted them to the second werewolf story under the links section. It's the first link titled "becoming the wolf". Let me know if you still have trouble. :)
Chatkath - It would be fun to try it out...or at least pretend. ;) Thanks, Chatkath...you are so much fun and as kind as always!
Hi, awesome site! I am a sang vampire (TH, we dont like blood-sucker, but were fine with it) anyway, im actually doubting if psi vamps exist because sang vamps go back to 1400 but a need for energy only comes from the film 'lifeforce' can you shed some light? (damn, its so easy to make vamp puns) laters!
TR
Oh and ditto on the twilight thing!
Thomas - Great to meet you! I've never known that there was a connection between psi vamps and a movie...so I'll definitely have to look further into that. Thanks for bringing up that point. And yes, it's very easy to make vampire puns...love it! Blessed Be.
Now, this is what I call... very interesting!
Thanks, Lost Dutchman! I thought so too. :)

~ i just don't understand why i have all those signs both of a sang & psi vampire.. i don't understand.. could anyone help me?. . .
~ i've been consulting a doctor since i was a child and the doctors could figure out why do i have random body aches and pains,sometimes sensitivity to sunlight or feelin' dizzy in sunlight.& repetitive illness occurs..that doctors could not give any reason behind those symptoms..
~ i mean could NOT * figure out.. (typho error) thanks.
yumi - I hope someone that is a Sang or Psi Vamp can help you with your questions. Unfortunately, I am not a vampire of either kind, I simply wrote the article to make people aware of the reality of the vampire community. The signs and symptoms I've compiled from reading vampire forums and sites. Thank you and good luck.
TS,
Sorry if i hurt your feelings- just a bit of advice- be careful who you prey on,get a blood test first...
AS for the PSI vamps-I know they exist- I have met these people they sap the very energy from your being just by them
TH
Thanks, Tom. Agreed.
hi, are you a real vampire? i have always wanted to become a vampire ever since 4th grade. i have drank my own blood before but still is it normal to bite people because i have bit 3 people and one person i bit 2 times. One of them was my friend. and all the people that say vampires are not real i think that they are full of crap, because i know people that know that vampires are real. one person i know is a vampire so if you know any one that is a vampire could you ask them to come to my houes and bit me and turn me into a vampire os i can live forever like the song "forever yong i want to be forever yong"
I cheecked out a vampire book that was called "the girls giude to vampires" and it said that "babies born with teeth or red hair were suspected of being a vampire" it also said that they had pale skin,rosy lips,mysterious eyes,long firgernails,dark hair,fangs, they also have sport skills,command of nature,mind tricks,anti-aging,super-sharp senses.
Do you think vampires arecharming hartthrobs or evil un dead? Can vampires be born?
alyson
alyson - It sounds like you are a bit confused. I would go to the Sang Vampire community online and find someone who can help you in this time of your life. But I highly recommend NOT to bite anyone...especially don't drink someone's blood before knowing if they are indeed healthy or not. You don't want to contract HIV or Hepatitis or things of that nature. Also, I don't think vampires are of the "undead" type...I believe they are real people with a real appetite or need to drink blood. Good luck, sweetie!
Ok, so this entire thing hasme confused :/ I've read all over the internet and I have pretty much all symptoms. But I'm pety sure I'm jut goin' crazy. I havn't felt much pain bt still......also, I'm only in middle school! How young can you be and awaken? Oh and, I'm christain and I'm not sureyet if its against my religeon. Ishow symtoms for both ps,and sang. When someone bleeds I end to feel hungry, but I'm sure its just my imgintion. Alo I've been able to communiate with the dead. Is that normal? I've only told my twin og my suspicions, and she was shocked at the end. It looked like she thought I was crazy, then she said "holy crap, my twins a vampire" but I'm still not sure so I had to explain that I wasn't. Also, since I've read this I once got a cut on my finger from a can opener, I sared att for like 5 minutes and then remembered I was fixing my food cuz I was starving. I began working on it when i licked my cut and suddenly was way less hungry. Also felt really good for abt the next hour or so. But I also have ALWAYS had a paranormal connection. I've seen demons, dead people, you name it. Oh and I'm alergic to garlic, what's with THAT!?!?! Do you think I'm awakening, or perhaphs slready have? I'm pretty sure I just crazy, like everyone says ,I've only told my sister, so everyone just thinks I'm crazy enough, why add vampire to the crazy mix?. And I've had 3 sets of k9 teeh come in. So...........?
Is it possible to be a hybrid breed between sang and psi? I'm a bit worried that i might be awakening, since I've been having blood cravings recently, and when I did try drinking blood (I tried cow, just as an experiment), I felt a huge amount of relief and a rush of energy. But at the same time, I feel weak if I'm not around people, and I am highly empathetic, which apparently is a psi-vampire trait. Is it possible to be a hybrid? And if so, how the hell do I find a way to drink blood without being labelled as a freak? Help me :'(
Hybrid? - I'm sure there could be the possibility. I highly recommend that you go to sanguinarius.com and seek the help from others like yourself that are more knowledgeable on the lifestyle. I wrote this article, though I am not a vampire myself. Please seek their support ASAP. Thanks so much and blessings!
this whole page was extremly interesting..i've wondered about these things since i was really young..which was one of the symptoms.i've had thirst for blood since i started a health class in school and they started showing types and different thibgs..i have many symptoms from both sang and psi..though im notpositive i would call it awakening..also,is it possible that if you are either of these,that it was passed down from parents or grandparents?im in constant pain and have been for months..my family has me on 6 different meds right now because my pain is only getting worse..its mostly my teeth,stomach,head,and whenever im around people or in the sun for too long..also,do you have any information on werewolves..as in if its possible a very deep dog bite could change you..a very very close friend of mine was bitten by her dog across her lower hip while i was there,and ever since then shes been having extremely strong senses.dealing with smell and hearing especially..she was at my house the last full moon and i woke up in the middle of the night and my window was open and she was gone..im not sure if this means anything but any information you have would mean so much..reply asap please!thanks..
jule - Hi, sweetie. Nice to meet you. Unfortunately I am not a vampire nor am I a total expert. I would suggest going to sanguinarious.org and talking to some of the sang vampires there. Also, as for the werewolf theory...I've never met a real werewolf, though that's not to say I don't believe in the concept. I've met real vampires, but no werewolves yet. Does your friend have Native American blood in her by chance?
Can you be a vampire if you have tan skin, brown hair and four sets of sharp teeth and if you think of biting stuff like skin or meat? Answer please.
hi Aly - I'm sure it's possible! Go talk to some other people in the vampire community at sanguinarious.org and they'll be able to lead you in the right direction. :)
It's me again..thanks for the information..and I'm not sure If she does..if so,you couldn't tell by looking at her..I'll ask her.how would this take part in it?
Hello, I'm very scared, I think i'm a psi vamp and i'm terriefied, my mother died in a car incident a month ago and the symtoms on the psi have occured, at first reading this, i thought i was just greiving, but a few months later i read it again and the symptoms still are occuring but stonger, i also... keep forgetting and not thinking it nessercary to eat, instead, trying to find a liquid suitable to satify this awful quench, i am only young and i need help and really true guidelines, help please?
Isobel - I would really encourage you to get in touch with someone who is an adult and who is a Psi Vampire. Be careful who you talk to though, don't give them any personal information (address, name, etc.) I don't want you getting in touch with a predator of any kind. But I would say google the terms "psychic vampire support" and find a forum or person to email in regards to asking them your questions. I am not a Psi Vamp, so I can't give you all the answers but I wish you luck in your search. Hang in there, you'll be just fine. You are special. Blessings, sweetie.
c'mon plsssss... i really wana b a vampire.... help me if any vampire hear it & exists in real..... ;) ;)
I don't know if all the symptoms about sang vampires you've written there are all true,but almost all of those things happen to me except one, the outburst of an angry persona when in tense situations..what does that mean..???
SangreDelZero - I agree, of course not everyone is going to experience the exact same symptoms, nor will everyone have all of the symptoms listed here...I just did my research and wrote down what I found to be symptoms according to other Sang vamps. I have no idea what it means for you, sorry friend! Good luck in your search though. :)
There is something i would like to share to everybody..The only thing that makes you a vampire is a GENUINE NEED for other people's blood and/or energy. You can have as many secondary symptoms as there are available... but you still won't be a vampire without the Need.. I just found somebody who told me that.. hope this helps...
I'll try to give you something to start with..one of the most basic trait that might trigger or be the mark of the awakening.. is the genuine belief on oneself that he/she is somewhat different..this alone.. is a clear sign that you might be one..but i'm not saying that everyone with this belief is a vampyre..but your instinct is something that cant be learn or controlled..you have this since you were born..just like how a baby learns to cry...instinct... theres something behind there.. and let it be a start...to know yourself better...
SangreDelZero - Thank you for the insight. I was well aware of that, it is just that there are many other symptoms that go along with awakening in addition to the hunger/thirst for blood/energy. And though you make a good point, I disagree with the idea that you "can't learn or control your instincts". Everyone can control their instincts if they try...no matter the instinct.
maybe i just said the wrong words, thanks though..and im sorry..it's just that i find it hard to explain in right words what i wanted to say..lets just disregard the word instincts there.. and read between the lines...maybe it would be a lot more easier..lets just say that since you were born..traits,, just like what you've said,,vampire traits,, will start to manifest without you noticing or learning about it..it will just come out..maybe thats what im trying to say.. thanks.. hope everyone understands,,..
Sangredelzero - I completely understand, thanks for clearing that up. Blessings.

I've always been interested in vampires. This was very well put together. I'm sure it will get some good traffic from Google too with that title. I recognize it from some keyword research I was doing a few weeks back. ;)
This is a very comprehensive hub, and you've added great links, too, especially the on for Michelle Belanger. She's a very cool person. Well done.
