    That depends on your definition of vampire.
    What you believe is YOUR reality, but not necessarily the reality of other people, who will believe differently.
    There are several medical conditions, various psychosis, and historical events that researchers believe led to the myths of vampires.
    I say "myth" advisedly here.
    1.Are there people who drink blood and shun sunlight? Most definitely. Are they sane? Yes, most of them.
    2.Are there people who are allergic to sunlight? Yes, although in most it is just an extreme sensitivity. In others it is a disease involving lack of hemoglobin.
    3.Are there madmen who believe themselves to be the incarnation of myth? All too common, unfortunately.
    4.Are there blood-drinking vampire bats? Definitely. But it is my understanding that they do not attack humans or animals unless they are sick, in fact, their diet is usually quite harmless and isn't at all blood-dependant.
    5. Are there super-natural entities in this world who mean humans harm? It is my belief that there are, [and that they are fallen angels, who can mimic many things and deliberately play on the fears/beliefs of people to seperate them from a loving God.] I think most people would agree that there are, although they may disagree about what they are.
    6. Historically... rye, a grain that was easy to grow in England and Europe and was in certain time periods a staple food, spoils easily. When it spoils, it can cause confusion and hallucinations, even death. There are instances of whole villages consuming tainted rye, and either dying outright, with weird physical symptoms, or actually killing each other off in their food-poisoning-induced temporary madness. It is thought that some of the tales of murderous vampires/werewolves arise from these incidences.
    7. I won't comment on empathic or psi vampires, but there are many sorts of vampires, ranging from the common misquito to financial vampires which are nearly as common...<laugh>
