Vampire Stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Distinguished vampire literature bibliographer Robert Eighteen-Bisang edited this collection, titled simply VAMPIRE STORIES (2009). Sherlock Holmes fans unfamiliar with Doyle's many other works of fiction may enjoy exploring the lesser-known stories in this volume, which does include a few Holmes adventures as well. Eighteen-Bisang provides a short introduction about Doyle, focusing mainly on his friendship with Bram Stoker and occasional annoyance at being famed solely as the creator of the Great Detective. Each tale is followed by a few paragraphs of background and commentary about the story.

Real Vampires

"Real Vampires"-how can this be anything but a contradiction in terms? We all know about vampires. Stock characters of fiction, guaranteed box-office draws, the media vampire has been familiar to us since childhood. Generally speaking, our blood-suckers appear with a tongue planted firmly in one toothy cheek-from Bela Lugosi hamming it up in the 1950's, to last summer's teenage "vamp" movies, to Count Chocula breakfast cereal, the media seldom treat the vampire as truly fearsome. The stereotyped vampire traits are familiar to any child: vampires have big fangs, sleep in coffins, are instantly incinerated by sunlight, and are best dispatched by a stake through the heart. But the most important "fact" that we all know of course is that there are no such things.


Psychic vampires - Warding off their attacks

Some people are acutely aware when a psychic vampire is feeding from them but do not know how to stop it from happening. Mainly because this is not a subject they teach in self-defense classes. I just could see this, can't you? ~chuckles~


Psi-vamps - The feeding process

If feeding is pretty well known for sanguinarius vampires, the process for psychic vampires still stays a perfect mystery for most. What happens, what do they feed on, how do we know we are being fed on? How to defend ourselves against these attacks? So many questions because this is a subject not often explored. I researched the subject some and hope to have come with some answers at last.


Psychic Vampires

Psi-Vamps

Psi-Vamps are people who have the ability to drain away energy in all of its forms. To do so enhances their mental and physical energies as normal feeding would to regular Vampires. A Psi-Vamp may or may not be psychic in the normal sense, but this use of the terminology means the psychic ability to drain another of energy or life forces. It also means such an individual can drain thoughts, emotions, life force, mental and physical strengths.


Psychic Vampire Attack & Defense

You’re sitting at a night club talking to your friends and having drinks. A man comes to sit next to you at the bar. You ignore him and then he seems to just disappear as quickly as he came. All of a sudden you feel tired and drained. But wasn't it just a moment ago that you were full of energy enjoying yourself? More than likely you have been subject to a psychic vampire attack and didn’t even know it. How do you know if you have been subject to a psychic attack and how do you protect yourself? Here are a few of the symptoms along with some defense techniques to hopefully help ward you against unwanted energy drain.


Vampires: The Real Thing

For the past two years or so, I have researched "real" vampires. The method of my research has been observance of and discussion with those people I have met who claim to be real vampires. I decided to heavily research this topic when an acquaintance of mine claimed to actually be a vampire. Since then, I have cultivated this relationship into a close personal friendship. She was my first contact into the world of vampires and has been my best research associate ever since. Special thanks to her and all the other vampires who have been kind enough to talk about this condition.

Now for the nitty-gritty of real vampires as I have observed them. I have been able to classify real vampires into several categories. These are as follows:


The Hunger -- Is it controllable?

There is some debate about whether or not vampires are able to go for any prolonged amount of time without feeding. With some research I was able to find that some vampires say they are unable to go any real length of time without blood, they find the pains become unbearable. They may suffer from insomnia, headaches, cramps, and so on. These people resort to drinking animal blood, or in some cases auto-vampirism.

However, there is an equal amount of vampires that go forever without feeding on blood. Some people believe that this is because they have psychic vampirism capabilities and are able to feed off of other peoples life energies that way. Is it possible that the vampires that can't go without are lacking this capability?


Feeding by Touch

Energy is a great thing, some people have an abundance and then there are those of us who need more of it. I’ve read in many articles how Vampirism is “this” or “that” so I think I’ll start by saying my view upon psi-vampirism: Think of a person as being a bowl filled with water, and each person’s bowl has a mark where the water should be filled and then water is put in until it reaches that point. A vampire’s bowl also has a mark in it, but for some reason the water never gets filled up to that point so we end up either borrowing, having water freely donated, or in some cases unknowingly / knowingly taking water from someone else’s bowl.


Genetics Theory on the Origins of Vampirism

The first essay covers the commonly accepted Vampire Virus theory. It also goes through he process of the Change for vampires. I cannot write on the process of the Change in different races of Otherkin (having no experience with such) but would welcome articles or ideas from such people.

The Second essay is my theory on genetic memory as a way to explain reincarnation. It leads into the subjects covered in the third essay. The third essay is much newer and covers a current theory of mine. I have published both so that the reader may see vampirism from two points of view. I currently consider this hypothesis more likely, but that can always change based on research.


Elemental Feeding

The meaning of elemental feeding is basically this: a person who can feed from the energies of elements in nature, such as the earth itself to the weather and also things like fire, water and even air.

This form of feeding is in abundance to everyone, not just something for those of the vampire community. You may find that many of the magickal community feed from these things as well for excess energies for working their magicks.


Beware of the Vampires in the Human Mind

An atypical thirst for blood, an ominous debonair presence, an aversion to sunlight - these are the ingredients of vampire lore.

But don't beware of the pointed bicuspids or flashy capes, rather heed your own relationships.

The vampires may already be there.

That's according to Julia McAfee, a practicing Jungian analyst from Florida, who will lecture tonight at Old Dominion University.

Deconstructing the Myths of Vampire Folklore and Examining the Truths of Modern Day Vampires

Why do we, as humans, have a long standing fascination with vampires? Is it our own morbid love affair with death? Or perhaps the twisted psyche of the unknown afterlife which has incarnated into this hideous, Earthly creature? It may be impossible to ever say. There is one thing for certain, however, and that is this: vampires have always, and will always, continue to emerge in various forms throughout history. They have already been with us for many generations, through a myriad ghoulish lore.


Peering Into a Hunter: Vampires of the World

At the beginning of this informational document, I believe it would be courteous to introduce myself. I am Chris Young, a long-time collector of Vampire information. Over the years, through my studies, I have collected quite a large amount of vampire information, both mythical, and factual. Now, some of you may be think at this point that by factual, I mean pieces of medical information that I will use to attempt to prove or disprove the existence of vampires. In all actuality, I will keep my own personal beliefs on the subject to myself. I encourage you to read the ENTIRE document before making any rash decisions about my writing, insights, or your own beliefs. This is to be an unbiased piece of writing, and my own beliefs will not enter into it. Or, at least, I will keep their entrance to a minimum; to completely exclude them would not be an easy task, if it were possible at all.


Montague Summers’ Guide to Vampires

INTRODUCTION

Anyone curious about the legendary background of vampires is soon bound to stumble across Montague Summers, whose writings in the 1920s established him as the foremost authority of the time and, as it happens, ever since. The Vampire: His Kith and Kin (1928) and The Vampire in Europe (1929) investigated the subject and all its ramifications in fantastic detail, presenting a record of folk beliefs about death and vampires that is unlikely to be equalled for sheer scope and depth.
