Vampires in Texas and Indiana

My parents introduced horror movies when I was about 9 or 10. The first vampire movie I ever saw was "Interview with the Vampire." After seeing that movie, I was instantly hooked to vampires. Not sure why, being that at the age I was.. it most certainly wasn't because of any sexual attraction to the thought of vampires. Mostly it sparked my interest as to if any such creature really existed. So I grew up.. wandering and researching. Vampires weren't so common to talk about back then. So I just kept it to myself.

My family moved to Texas in 1998. I got my first job at McDonalds. Customers came and went. Everyday the same routine. I worked drive thru. Same ole day until I had a man in a SUV pull up to my window. Immediately... it seemed that everything behind him... and everything around me... turned green. It was hazy... kinda like looking at a hot road and seeing the heat radiating off of it. As soon as I saw him... I thought "vampire". I didn't have to think about it, it just came to me. Extremely attractive, dark haired gentleman, who said nothing. Just took his drink and on his way.

Once he left my window the hazy look faded out and everything was normal. I'm still not sure to this day what happened to my surroundings as I am sure no one else saw the same background as I did. Let me described more in detail:

The fountain drink to my right looked blurry. There was a gas station that you could see from the drive thru window  that was no longer visible. Everything in my eyesight capabilities was completed voided out and all I could see was this guy. So since seeing this website I've come to believe he must have been a physic vampire. Only conclusion I can come to.

On to the next believed sighting. We moved from Texas to Indiana. Indianapolis to be exact. I was in high school and I used to ride the Indigo bus home to Beech Grove after school. So, standing there waiting for the bus to come I saw a man in a hoodie, walking down the same side of the street I was on. He had his head down. I didn't think anything of it, until he got closer to me and looked at me. The first thing I noticed, were his eyes. They were red. I was so stunned that I found myself starring and scared. He looked at me and put his head back down; kept on walking. I immediately thought "vampire". I contemplated the idea that he was wearing contacts. But part of the eyes weren't red... the whole entire eyes... were red. It creeped me out for the longest time because I felt he was evil. That was in 2003.

Since then I've  yet to encounter any other beings that instantly brought the "vampire" idea to my mind. After seeing these two individuals, I 100% believe that is a possibility of such beings existing. I still to this day hope to meet another one; and instead of fearing them actually being able to hold a conversation with one face to face and having that personal encounter.

I currently live near Bloomington, Indiana and have found out that such a place exists that holds conventions, if you will, that allows the actual vampires or people who "pose" to meet. I'm so tempted to go just to see if I can meet a vampire. That's my story. Comment if you would like. Thanks

Crazy People Can Lick Too

One eerie night in a small town in Texas called Coupland, two girls were left alone in their house. Their parents had left for a formal outside of the small town, leaving the girls alone with their dog Vladimire. Since the town their parents went to was far away the girls knew that it would take a while for their parents to get home. One of the girls was named Sarah, being twelve she was the oldest. Then there was her little sister Cara which was nine. Every time something was wrong Vladimire would lick one of the girls hands. It was usually small stuff like if someone would be knocking, or maybe just a simple window that wasn't closed all the way.

There was a terrible lightning storm outside. While the girls sat in the living room watching the news late at night the newsreporter came on suddenly and reported about something that had just happened a few hours ago. "Not much is known about this situation but what we do know is that someone has escaped from the Insane Asylum just a few miles away from Coupland. For now all I can say is to lock all your doors and close all of your windows." Suddenly the power went out. The girls were terrified. Being the oldest Sarah was the first to calm down and make sense out of the situation and tell her sister maybe the power was cut off from the storm. Cara nodded and suggested to grab some candles and light them up and put them around the house.

As they were finishing lighting the last of the candles Vladimire licked Sarah's hand. "What's wrong boy?" asked Sarah soothingly as she scratched his head. Vladimire went over to the window, it was wide-open. Sarah looked puzzled as she went and closed it. Heading back to the living room with her sister Cara close behind she looked at the clock. It took her a while to see where the hands were arranged; 1:30. She told her sister that it would be better if they headed up to bed.

While going their separate ways to their rooms Cara turned around to Sarah's room and jumped in bed with her. They both fell asleep immediately. Sarah woke up to a dripping sound Drip... Ping... Drip... Ping... Drip... Ping... Sarah put her hand under the bed where Vladimire usually slept. He lickd her hand for a long time she put it back up and went to sleep again. Drip... Ping... Drip... Ping... Sarah opened her eyes again and stuck her hand under the bed this time she was greeted by a heavy raspy tongue. She didn't think about it much and went back to sleep.

It was morning time. Cara woke up and got up she went to her room and changed. Five minutes later Sarah got up, she rubbed her eyes and walked over to the bathroom. Drip... ping... drip... ping... drip... ping... Sarah knew that she hadn't dreamed what happened the other night. As she went into the bathroom she heard the sound get louder drip... ping... drip... ping... she walked over to the shower and opened the curtain. She screamed in shock as she was greeted by the most gruesome scene. There hanging on the top faucet was Vladimire, his throat was slit and drops of blood dropped down. Drip... ping... drip... ping. Sarah ran but there in the bathroom mirror written in blood were the words crazy people can lick too.
