  • demons and the devil exist

    the devil is the disguise to any feature people believe, like vampires

  • Oh shit its burger king at 41:41

  • i dont knw if vampires exist cause ive never seen one. im an open minded person. i mean we have soooooooo much things we dont knw in the world so in not gonna say vampires dont exist or they do.

  • im surprised i dont see any username like robpattersonluvr4657 around here.

  • Old vamps were ugly brutes or strange ghosts. Then in the 1800s Dr. John Polidori, doctor to Lord Byron wrote "The Vampire," based on Byron, which Stoker borrowed from. .Nice explanation for the Western myths. BTW, that film they kept showing was 1923's "Nosferatu," If you think crosses on graves are to mark them, not really, they're to keep the dead buried,no lie. Was this a Halloween episode? Cause the research stinks. Bad job Nat Geo. One last thing, Vampires are just myths, not real.

  • They probably made him wear the stupid ass rubber gloves.

  • vampires real?dont really know but i searched and found some info in 1962 a mechanic in santa fe named joe valdez was the first successful test for the vampire vaccine in 1967 the gov banned vamp research for what happened in lazo siberia .in1986 ronald regan lifted the ban one vamp and zombie research i cant see for certain if its real or not its just info i found out

  • people need to calm the fuck down. really now? -__- if you're 16+ you're really immature.

  • bunch of white guys eating boiled rotten heart and drinking blood...disgusting retards

  • The second a "vampire" wins the heisman trophy or gets drafted to the NBA....i'll belive in them. until them it's obvious that they are depressed disturbd people with shitty childhoods. And I do feel bad for them.

  • Maybe not depressed, but disturbed yes, haha.

  • I believe in Vamp's don't you why is there so much stories about them-why? Idc wat you think but i believe in them one time i drunk from my friend she was bleeding so i ask her can i taste it she said ya! I am the emo Vampire in my school i don't eat at skool. Do you believe in them-are they real?

  • If by vampire you mean idiot, then yes I do believe you when you say you're a vampire.

  • hahahahahahaha

  • LMFAO!!! The little turd draws blood with gloves on and then drinks it.

  • That Don Henry is a Short Lil Twerp! I watched Him On The Tyra Show too Hes So FUCKING SHORT!!

    VAMPIRES=BULL SHIT

  • bull crap u retard

  • Vampires? Well....Some of you idiots insult people. Maybe you should get a life huh? Arguing on YouTube....really? Besides. Vampires=Real. How do I know? Im a vampire.

  • yeah real big bad Vampire huh! Well Come get me! If Ur Such A real Vampire Come Find me And Suck My blood! THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS VAMPIRES!! there just good for story time!!

  • agreed

  • hahaha

  • Nah, you're not a vampire. You are either: A poser who via the anonymity of the internet is able to group together with a group of other fakers. It works like this, everyone believes the others is telling the truth, and just wants to be part of the culture so they lie about it. The other possibility is that you have completely lost it. Have fun with your delusions, give me a heads up when you can bench press your body weight with your vampire powers.

  • I noticed a subliminal at the beginning when they're talking about the coffin.

  • I want to meet Don Henry. Just to say I have. One-up the little twilight-dorks..

    Ahem. That aside, I don't believe one way or the other. Anything can happen.

  • all this is called your imagination, the "vampires" are mental retards

  • Wasn't Frankenstein Dracula's neighbor?

  • No, Dracula hangs out an an old folks home with the wolf man and Frankenstein's wife. Frankenstein is a travelling salesman named Wilie Loman.

  • EarthlyLITA- HAHAHA!!!Mr. Miller would have loved that!

  • both of you should have better things to do than argue on youtube.

  • I don't believe in vampires :)

  • there are several diseases that share attributes with vampirism. one is called propheria (sp?). it causes you to be sensitive to light and causes pale skin. another (cant remember the name) causes you to have a need for blood.

  • Interseting diseases...

  • 6:33 "this may be sexy stuff" haha !

  • Interesting, though the nudity in the NY party & mention of "softcore porn" were really unnecessary. A better way of describing it would be to say that that directors portray the encounters as intimate, lustful, or something similar. It could have been explained that the closeness and the violation factors have a sort of sexual psychological effect. Their words seemed like a crude and unintellectual way to explain the way it is portrayed, which is not what I'd expect from National Geographic.

  • Why sugarcoat it to make it sound like something other than it is?

  • I'm talking about explaining it in a more analytical and professional matter, and not all portrayals are that sexual so that was a blanket statement.

  • i saw that don guy on tyra.....it's totally a publicity stunt. all the vampires that went on there said different things. it was like one said one thing, then the other contradicted it. it's ridiculous.

  • if u believe that vampires are real ur a dumbass.

  • well vampires in a sense are Real,they may not drink blood nor become a bat or any of that.

  • A vampire that doesn't drink blood or turn into a bat is just a depressed goth kid who is afraid to leave the basement while the sun's out. Don't lie to yourself anymore. IDIOT

  • wow stereotypical much? I'm an idiot huh hm well hey you can spell now congrats. and I'm not lying to myself I have no reason to. what small minded people like yourselves can't comprehend is that you're lives are meaningless. Therefore you insult others for your own pleasure. but the thing is if by calling me Retarded or an idiot is insulting =/ you're going to have to try harder I mean come on can't that small brain of yours come up with a better insult? and me goth? haha labels are immature.

  • Yes, I can spell. And I also have a decent command over punctuation, unlike yourself. You see these? ,,,,,, They're called commas. I like to use them intermittently between certain words and phrases, indicating sentence structure and timing throughout my various thoughts and deeds on the internet, or in any written medium. Oh, and look here: I like to capitalize the first word of every sentence, and words like I, it just makes a bit more sense grammatically. Now go fuck your mother, ok?

  • ouch someones a grammar Nazi. I feel so so insulted. what will I ever do? oh yeah Laugh at your pitiful laugh. ahh much better. why would I do that with I'm butt naked doin your mom and mean I've tapped that ass over nine thousand times.

  • Why don't you just stop breathing for a few minutes and suffocate yourself. I"d really appreciate it, and I think the rest of humanity would enjoy the results.

  • lol, hey "master exploder", what is your name in reference to?lol

  • the name was inspired by a Tenacious D tune.

  • I always find things like this funny. Usually they just repeat the same information they have used a thousend times. After running through it they go back and then end it with no real conclusive evidence one way or the other. They just lean you on thier opinion.

  • lol...vampire is a joke...but it freak me out when I was little..any if this dude can transform into a bat then I believe there is a real vampire...

  • we all know that vampires are really zombies

  • bull crap

  • haha that dumbass dude thinks hes a vampire haha.....go suck a cock jackass

  • I'm American Born, but Ethnic Romanian. That grave desecration is sickening and makes me ashamed. Please Don't judge all romanians because of the actions of a few ignorant and superstitious peasants

  • wtf is this SHIT?!

  • romanians are retarded.... such idiots

  • watch who the fuk u talkin bout. we have our myths, our legends n beliefs. u dont know anything about it, because your NOT ROMANIAN stupid bitch.

  • They make these documentaries because of public interest, mainly from the media and hollywood, with movies like Twilight having such an impact on the movie industry, the public interest rises.

  • 5:28 Romanian computer.

  • What the hell? This is ridiculous.

    I would be fine if they based if off myths becuase that's somewhat interesting. But I don't like the so called "real" vampie stories.

  • wow they just repeat the exact same information over and over for 45 minutes. TERRIBLE

  • this Kakarot guy is kinda 'tarded

  • really now? and what do I owe the pleasure of your witty yet old fashioned come back too? are you subjective and narrow minded to the matter of Real vampires? or just fee like blaming another for said lack of intellect? I hate Narrow minded people. I am saying and sharing my knowledge with the community to which loves this Phenom known as Vampires Real or Fake just as I do.I am not claiming my resources nor information is 100% acute but it is something. please do not waste your time

  • Responding to m comments if you cannot provide a valid Argument. But thank you for reading the small portion of what I have provided on this video.

  • You can receive the pleasure of my comebacks because you chose a public medium through which to post your TARDED descriptions of vampire theory and lore. The only time waster in this situation is yourself, writing thousands of words about such a stupid topic. No one wants to read it, and if they did, they'd look for it somewhere else.

  • really? then why are you replying wasting even more words and time than myself? If no one did then why are you replying and saying its a theory so you must have read it. hahaha You make me laugh. tarded? it's spelled retarded but hey you are.

  • words, spellings, and slang can change with time. The first time I spelled that word I used the apropos apostrophe: ('tarded) signifying the use of abbreviation to a well known word. I have plenty of time to waste, as I'm on the job right now. So, I'm technically getting paid to waste your time and hassle your tardedness. You did reply, though. I don't know what you mean by "if no one did..."

  • Well congrats you've stated the obvious. wasting my time? not at all I have all the time in the world.

    So continue try wasting my time you only make me laugh. So by all means Continue.

  • None of this changes the fact that you're kind of 'tarded.

  • Ok So You think I'm Retarded because I posted comments on a subject in which THIS video has brought up and in doing so there will be comments such as the one I have posted stating various forms and myths of The Vampire. You may not believe in vampires and hey that's cool your choice. I for one Think believe in vampires not just the immortal ones we see in movies or read about but I find the sub-culture pretty cool

  • @kakarot108 im a vampire 2 its ok.

  • dude real vampires aru retarted people who want to belong to something but since they were so different and shy and TARDED they chose to take the form of something everyone know about and make it there own so they could fit in with other freaks.i know im sometimes reffered to as wierd but at least i dont go around trying to bite other people so i could fit in

  • wow just wow lets see I find a few stereo types in your reply well quite frankly you don't know me so you have no room to speak. I am allowed to believe what I want and I will. and it's spelled retarded as is ARE is not spelled aru. whose stupid now not I. I think I may kill you tonight.

  • how come they can upload 40 minutes videos?

  • because they pay for it or are partners of youtube,everyone else gets 10 minutes

  • Vampires are created through a process called the Embrace. The Embrace is similar to normal vampiric feeding - the vampire drains her chosen prey of blood. However, upon complete exsanguination, the vampire returns a bit of her own immortal blood to the drained mortal. Only a tiny bit - a drop or two - is necessary to turn the mortal into an undead. This process can even be performed on a dead human, provided the body is still warm.

  • _Once the blood is returned, the mortal "awakens" and begins drinking of his own accord. But, though animate, the mortal is still dead; his heart does not beat, nor does he breathe. Over the next week or two, the mortal's body undergoes a series of subtle transformations; he learns to use the Blood in his body, and he is taught the special powers of his clan. He is now a vampire.

  • _Some vampire clans Embrace more casually than others, but the Embrace is almost never given lightly. After all, any new vampire is a potential competitor for food and power. A potential childe is often stalked for weeks or even years by a watchful sire, who greedily evaluates whether the mortal would indeed make a good addition to the clan and the line.

  • According to Kindred myth, the first of their kind was Caine, the first murderer. For his crime, Caine was cursed by God and thereby transformed into a vampire. Exiled from his people, Caine was forced to stalk the fringes of civilization, fearful of the sun and ravenous for blood.

  • In his loneliness, Caine came upon a mighty witch named Lilith, who had been Adam's first wife. Lilith taught Caine how to use his blood for mighty magic (indeed, a few heretics claim that Lilith, not Caine, was the First Vampire). Lilith taught Caine many things, including how to use his blood to evoke mystic powers - and how to create others of his kind.

  • The Second Generation and the First City

    At first Caine refused to beget, believing it wrong to curse the world with others of his kind. But eventually he grew lonely and brought three others into the vampiric fold. These three in turn begat 13 more, and these voracious monsters went among the early peoples of the world, carelessly feeding and using mortals as puppets in their sibling feuds. Caine, outraged by this behavior, forbade the creation of any more progeny.

  • Gathering his childer and grandchilder to him, Caine built a great city - the First City in the world - and here vampires and mortals coexisted in peace.

  • It could not last. Caine's childer squabbled for their sire's affections, and once again the mortals were used as pawns in the feud. Finally the city was thrown down - some say a natural disaster was the cause; others, that a spurned childe's vengeful sorcery precipitated the cataclysm. Caine vanished into the wastes, never to be heard from again. The three vampires of the Second Generation likewise disappeared into the mists of legend. But Caine's 13 grandchildern

  • free from restraint, began breeding new vampires with abandon. The 13 vampires became known as Antediluvians, and their childer, created in their images, inherited the Antediluvians' magical gifts and curses. Thus were the clans formed.

  • sigh Geez so much to put yet so little room I believe that is enough information I will provide to the community

  • lol shut up.

  • I need not do anything of the sort neither does anyone else.

  • Lol Lilith was not a witch. She was made into some sort of demon, a succubus if i remember correctly. She was banished from the garden because she refused to lie under (and therefore subjugate herself to) Adam. She was made just as Adam was, out of clay (remember God says, "let us make man in OUR image". So both are made. She refuses (to lie under). She's thrown out. God makes Eve from Adam's Rib. The end... well. not really but you know what i mean.

  • every person and a different perspective on the subject but in the end they all subcome to the same meaning

  • has pardon my typo.

  • I am not religious just to point that out. But There are many a myths in this mysterious world most of which have far more perspectives that differ from generation to generation,some are more trust worthy while others more believable,it's just how you see it. and as I had said earlier different myth and or belief same ending and or meaning no matter how it was drawn,said,or played out.

  • never thought of it that way. Thats def kinda creepy. I guess there could be a hidden meaning in those verses.

  • reminds me of when lasombra vampire lucita destroyed her sire cardinal moncada. i guess he should've seen that one coming.

  • fuck a vampire

    i'll pop that mutherfucker in his mouth

  • HELL YAH BITCHZ!!!!

  • fuck vampires

  • so to recap... we learned that. Tuberculosis > Vampires

  • I bet Don Henry works at a hot topic and shops at wal mart at 4am.

  • lol

  • The blood on his mouth was made by the gases from the embalming fluids.

  • "I'm a real vampire" FAG!

  • at 34:57

    What is that 'vampire' man's name? John ... something?

  • I did... that's an old show, about 3 years old. I guess.

  • If Don Henrie uses a needle to drain his girlfriend's blood, whatever for did he put those fangs on?!

    It makes perfect sense, doesn't it kids?

    Vampires = Too much Interview with the Vampire, Twilight series, and HBO's and The CW's vampire series.

    Kids, take my word on this: There are no vampires, never did, never will. What we have is people with psychological problems.

  • NG has good actors

  • S-E-X-Y

  • could there be woman vampires

  • @Antiks72 What?????

  • Use the reply button, sweetheart.

  • I did.

  • Lmfao

  • In childhood, during the prime time in the elaboration of dendrites and axonal arbors, the neuronal architecture that supports learning, our personality traits are formed. If a child supposes that they are gay, a neuron forms that identifies themself as a homosexual. In the same way, Don here thought he was a vampire as a child, because he liked blood, thus a neuron formed in his brain establishing to himself that he was a vampire. If many children see this we will have an outbreak of vampires

  • Huh?

  • then whose the king of darkness?

  • satan maybe

  • own family members hunt and hurt their own family wtfffffffffff

  • only one ad nice

  • get a ad blocker and you'll see zero ads and zero commercials, on anysite. :)

  • whoa

  • Do vampires catch HIV? AIDS? ANYTHING? A disease? :O

  • nope dieases need living tissue to survive :P

  • hope they get HIV too LOL

  • vampires= fucking fucked up freaks

  • roflmao...hahahha

  • Hope they get HIV

  • i wanna meet his parents

  • Romania should count themselves lucky, at least their vampires don't sparkle in the sun. . . Anyway, its rather cool seeing the scientific background behind supernatural figures like vampires. I'd personally like to see one on werewolves or alien abductees next.

  • Not only do they not sparkle, they don't burn in the sunlight, either. :P

  • lol my friend was walked home every day by rod farrell and literally was friends with the kid, the kid rod farrell was merely someone who played the card game vampire the masquirade and was a huge loser nerd who couldnt get any pussy, no vampire there just a homo

  • theres only one good which is knowledge and one evil which is ignorance and indifference- plato

    no vampires in romania just ignorance no zombies in africa-haiti just ignorance

    (as far as the white man wanna be vampire thats just plain fucking weirdo gayzor shit)

    namaste

  • Well if they're coming back from the dead then they're zombies but if you turn into a bat, have an awesome royal castle with really fancy furniture and have fangs like needles then you're a vampire.

  • Wasn't Jesus a vampire? I mean his weakness was stakes and a big wooden cross.

  • lol...

  • wtf?

    EW how can they drink other peoples blood? i cant even stand the taste of my own blood when i got my tooth pulled.

    this is just so damn gross. -.-

  • let ppl be whatever they want.. who cares lol

  • Lol this was uploaded Oct 22, 2006?

  • There are people with serious cases of poryphyria who can't exist without a diet of ultra-high protein and iron content such as livers and blood.  That doesn't make them vampires.

  • there was defintly some kind of beliefe going around that the dead affected the living. that doesnt make it real. just like christianity ^__^

  • Comment removed

  • Shut up about flashlights!

  • If I go down on a girl while she's on the rag does that make me a vampire?

  • no that would just make u sick as fuck.

  • Comment removed

  • @_@ LIKEY

  • dude, get aids, die, then come back...id be convinced...

  • flashlights in ancient romania? sounds REALLY accurate lol

  • It says January, 2004. I'm pretty sure flashlights were invented prior to 2004.

  • lmao i know when i saw the correct date my comment was already posted -_- my mistake

  • if it makes you feel any better, i dont even believe in flashlights

    bunch of make believe, like fairys and germs

  • Thanks for posting! I love the Is It Real series! Could you upload more episodes?

  • Shift-shape into a bat and I'll be convinced...

  • Vampires made up by some writer turns real by some idiot. LOL x]

  • lol, there is NO vampire archetype... I absolutely hate it when people hijack Jung and distort it. Yes, there is deep psychological meaning behind the symbolism of blood (the carrier of life, soul, feeling, etc).... but these goth-adultchildren need to grow up

  • how about erich fromm. he did describe the exploitative personality as well as the sadistic personality and necrophilic archetypes who embrace death and destruction of man for its own sake rather than a means of an end. i recommend you read otto kernberg's dissertation on the narcissistic and psychopathic personality. even though vampires are not mentioned in their works, evil is. vampires are the representation of this evil.

  • AS a depth psychologist, I'm WELL familiar with the ideas of Erich Fromm.

    Still, there is NO vampire archetype, the symbolism of the vampire is only a node, but certainly NOT an archetypal core, that core is the symbol of blood.

    And vampires, they don't exist.

  • nice!!! thanks so much for the upload!!!
