What's the general opinion on what might be called "alternative" beliefs like Vampirism?
Personally? I don't buy into things like that. However, if it floats your boat and you ain't hurting anyone...go for it. You can believe that the sun shines out of your asshole for all I care
Did the cavemen have issues with vampires or werewolves? No - they dealt with the real things. Interesting these mythical creatures have only recently popped up in human culture.
The existence of Vampires or blood drinking demons have existed for millions of years, from stone age cave paintings right through more advanced civilisations like the Egyptians, through to modern day tales ie books movies, even bram stoker had to get his inspiration from somewhere and he wasn't a silly man, he did his research
I don't believe in vampire, werewolves, or any other type of supernatural creature, but it'd be pretty awesome if they did exist.
Shame, we believe in you lol
