Just wanted to offer another possibility for that particular legend.

Though this is a controversial topic, from my point of view there is evidence to support the existence of this phenomenon, and the abilities of some of those who claim to practice it. Of course, there are also plenty of unwitting practitioners - the sick, the unbalanced, the otherwise needy, who have been known to drain the energy of their friends and relatives. But that would make for a whole different post! Vampires that thrive on the transference of energy rather than the literal drinking of blood are called Psychic Vampires or Psi-Vampires.

Things have changed significantly! I have been told that people in New Orleans believe they are Vampires... They say that they don't practice the same methods of how they "drink blood" but none the less they claim to be... Do you know anything about that or is it a hoax???
