True Ghost Tales

Let’s do this the AA way, shall we?

Hi, I’m Scarlet, and I’m a psi-vampire. Also called a Psy-Vampire, also called a Psychic vampire. I truly hope you know what this is, but if you don’t (or you want to know more), you’ve come to the right place. Although I’ve only known formally what I am for a few years, I’ve gathered up enough information to inform you.

A psi-vampire is a type of vampire (No, really?) that feeds mostly on prana, or life force. We are said to be born with an energy leak in our astral form. Sort of like a leaky faucet. So, to maintain our own life force, we drain others of theirs. Most of us go through life having NO IDEA we are doing this. If a person is exposed to an out of control drainer for an extended period of time, they can become physically ill. Just as the vampire can if they go without “feeding” for an extended period of time. Different psi’s have different ways of feeding, but I tend to use the rope method. I see energy radiating off of everyone, and just sick it into myself. I totally feel like a vacuum. Some people can feed off sexual energy, but I don’t. Seems a bit unfair, doesn’t it? (Just kidding sex vamps!)

How can you tell if someone is a psi vampire?

You truly can’t, unless you ask, or are a strong energy user yourself. We appear just like….People… Pale people. The only ting that stands out is said to be our eyes. I have yellow eyes with dark rings around them. I believe this is more genetic than anything, but I’ve heard otherwise. We can blend in with a crowd just like anyone else can. We go to school, work, church, games, and every other place regular people go. Psi’s can choose to be good or bad, just like you can. Some of us decide we like to play mind games with non-vamps, and some of us try not to feed at all. (bad idea. In all honesty, I do feed regularly. I prefer not to feed on strangers, only people who have been forewarned. At first, I was leaning toward the bad side. (Don’t worry, I recovered.)

We are night people, on a biochemical level. Just being awake in the day is a feat for me. We don’t lead easy lives, though. We are moody people; our moods can change on a dime. The way we feel is mainly affected by our level of energy. We age, but slower than a regular person. I am most certainly not immortal in any way. Can we be Christians? Yes, of course. Do fires start when we walk into church? No. Each person has their own energy signature, and a psi-vampires tends to be extremely different than a humans. If you suspect that you know a psi-vampire, keep it to yourself and just observe them. Are theirs moods hectic and unpredictable? Do you feel drained when they are in the room with you? If you decide to ask someone if they are a vampire, do it discreetly. We have our problems, and fitting in can be hard for us. The vampire life is not for the weak.

So, we don’t like blood?

Of course we do. Blood is constantly on my mind, or hovering in the back of my mind like a creepy man at a gas station. Blood contains prana. We need prana. Do the math. We can get prana from fresh blood, fresh meat, or straight from the source. Blood, to me, is like the most amazing ting in the universe to you. Cookies? Chocolate? Nah, I’ll take some blood.

Our abilities?

Now, don’t go and think we totally miss out on all the vampire abilities just because we don’t need blood to survive. I’ve actually heard it said that Psi’s are more dangerous than Sangs, because the victim can’t tell if they are being fed off of. You are sure to notice someone biting you, not so sure to notice someone siphoning off your life force. Some of us get more than others when it comes to abilities.

Empathy is one thing that comes with most psi-vamps. Empathy is the ability to feel other’s emotions, or know what they are feeling. That leads us into psychics. Some of us are, some of us aren’t. I, personally, am. Not the ol’ legendary psychic-in-a-tent-with-a-crystal-ball type. Just the I-happen-to-be-able-to-read-you-like-a-book type. It’s involuntary, I prefer to stay out of most people’s thoughts. Dark, twisted creatures, humans are. We are said to be able to “blink” (speed up time), and go out of our bodies. I have yet to succeed in blinking, but have done astral travel many a time. Another thing is the ability to make someone forget. Don’t worry, we only use this if we happen to be spotted while feeding. One thing I have developed since my awakening is heightened senses. Mainly hearing and smell.

Can we change other people?

Well, this is all theory here. I don’t think we can. Now, this is coming from an accidental test that I’d prefer not to explain. I kept the person under close watch, and their eyes took on a yellow tint and he started complaining of moodiness for a few weeks, but it eventually faded. I was born the way I am, and awakened during puberty. What a lovely addition to the troubles of puberty, am I right? That’s what I think about that, but I’d love to be proven wrong on my theory.

All in all, psychic vampires are a little known, but thriving type of vampire. I’d love to answer your questions, and hear any of your comments.
