What could be real?

[downside]

Ghost, aliens, vampire, werewolves, zombies, etc.

All of the above, and more, have filled people with fear for ages. But unlike Freddy Kruguer or Jason, these are single entities set out on detsroying a few people here and there. These are groups...species of beings that have captures the imagination for generations now.

So I ask, what do you think could be real? Real in the sense of movie/book portrayal, what horror out there is quite possibly not fiction, and how would it differ from what is portrayed in movie/books?

I've no problem in thinking aliens are real, although not necessarily the Earth destroying race that they are portrayed as. I also think ghost are real, but I do believe there is some sort of scientific explanation for them. These are just a couple quick reference to start this forum. Feel free to delve as deep as you'd like.

Well, I don't know much about the subject, but I think that there are plenty of origins for myths about Vampires and Werewolves that were eventually collaborated by people like Bram Stoker to create a book or film about them... There were lots of stories about blood-drinking humans and evil people and the undead and such throughout history... one of the most interesting things that I do remember was that at certain times, people would go into comas (or a similar state), be mistaken for dead, and be buried alive... they would then proceed to dig themselves out of a shallow grave and come back to town, taken for a zombie, and killed on the spot...

As for me, I need to feed... gotta score me some blood... er, breakfast...

WHAT I THINK ABOUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS IS THAT THEY'RE ALL TRUE AND I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN WHY.

VAMPIRES-A SPECIES OF BLOOD SUCKING CREATURES CONDEMED TO THE NIGHT.=PEOPLE WHO DRINK BLOOD POSSIBLY CANNIBALS THAT WERE OVEREXAGGERATED INTO THE MOVIES YOU SEE TO MAKE MONEY.

WEREWOLVES-A SPECIES OF HALF HUMAN HALF WOLF THAT TRANSFORMES FROM HUMAN TO WOLF WHEN A FULL MOON OCCURS=PROBABLY A TRIBE OF PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE LIVED IN THE WILDERNESS THAT WERE REALLY HAIRY AND WHEN SOMEONE WENT INTO THE WOODS THEY WERE KILLED AND EATEN AND LATER ON THE STORY WAS EXAGGERATED INTO THE WOLFMAN AND DOG SOLDIERS.

THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE REAL TO A CERTAIN EXTENT THE STUFF YOU SEE IN THE THEATER IS AN EXAGGERATION OF THE TRUTH MADE TO BE MORE INTERESTING.

I believe in "aliens", ghosts, vampires, and werewolves, but not zombies. I also believe a Big Foot exists, as well as a Loch Ness Monster.

Cool topic, love philosphy, good book to read "Chariots of the Gods" by Erich Von Daniken, makes you think of how we came to be on this planet, perhaps as just an experiment. Ancient Egyptian architecture is very mathematically advanced, plus there are drawings of aircraft looking things in hyroglyphics. A lot of Egyptian religion shows Ra the sun god coming from the sky. Vlad the Impaler was the original dracula, he was a ruler in Romania, forgive me I dont recall the time period I wanna say 13th century, he was known for his torture and impaling heads on spears and other interesting things. I believe that the idea of Werewolves came from the Indians were they would dress in animal clothing during rituals, I also believe that the Aborginies did this also. Personally i believe anything supernatural is possible, I think that if the human mind can think of it on some scale it exists, unicorns, dragons, pegasus, demons so on and so on. I am currently writing a book about a dragon that exists in the 21 century and how certain members of society have communicated with him. I think that they exist up until your parents tell you that they dont and you believe them. They are all; still there you just cant see them because you have been conditioned to their non existence. I will never tell my children that magical creatures dont exist, I think it takes away from their innocence. Being a practicing witch for nearly 20 years I can tell you that it is real, magic that is but not in the sense that you see on TV. My wife and I read each others thoughts and I can communicate mentally with my children. This has always been true of the people that I am close with. I also have the power to know when people are lying when I talk to them but only face to face. In no way am I suggesting I am Psychic but it is there I just dont know what to call it. Man I could go on and on a bout this stuff. but I wont Im starting to become long winded.LOL

I believe in all of this to an extent

But if there is vampires. the underground vampires (fakes) make the real vampires look stupid. Just my opinion
