VAMPIRES ON "SIGHTINGS"

A TranscriptStephen Martin, Ph.D.:The vampire represents thedarker side of human instinct. The vampire represents

the semi-animal-like quality that is part of our nature.

That which in the cultural process of global

development we've had to forego. Ordinary people go

see vampires because they identify with a certain

collection of characteristics that they don't live out, and

which are ignited in what we would call the

unconscious. http://www.afn.org/~vampires/sightings.html

Kian: Do you think vampires really exist?

Sir Teody: I think they do not exist. What I know is that werewolves are the onesexisting.

Kian: Do you know some incidences regarding them?

Sir Teody: I dont have any.

Kian: What do you know about vampires?

Sir Teody: Ahmm They are bloodsuckers, right? For me, they are doing a Satanic

movement because they kill people. And as we all know thats a violation against

Gods Commandments.


23/28

Kian: Have you watched some films concerning them?

Sir Teody: Yes, actually Im watching Imortal( a soap opera in ABS-CBN). I have also

watched the movie Dracula,too.

Kian: Could you share something about those movies?

Sir Teody: In Imortal, there are two groups of vampires, one is the bloodsuckers

and the other one are the non-bloodsucking group. The latter group is the good

ones. They are just like humans, they eat fruits and vegetables. The other group,

the bloodsuckers, is those that kill people and drink their blood. Matteo, the main

character in the story was once a member of the non-bloodsucking group. The

reason he turned to a bloodsucker is when he was about to die and the only way to

save him is to drink blood, a human blood.

Kian: Thank you for sharing sir. Last is, if given a chance, would you want to be avampire? Why or why not?

Sir Teody: Definitely not. As Ive said earlier they are conducting a Satanic

movement. They are devils and I dont want to be like them.

Based on our view and on our

research, we are more convinced that vampires

dont really exist. However, there are people

who consider themselves as vampires. We

concluded that considering yourself a vampire is

only a psychological effect or a disease.Because we, ourselves, do not know or havent

experienced any vampire incidents.
