Important Note:   Many visitors to VAU tell me that they have most of or all of these symptoms and does this mean they are definately a vampire?  The answer is, not necessarily.  Having all of these traits does not necessarily mean you are vampiric, nor does having none of these traits mean you are not necessarily vampiric. Therefore, let the following be your primary indicator of vampirism above all else:  a real vampire, whether psychic or blood oriented, will have a craving.   The vampire will either know what he/she craves, or will have a nameless craving they can't quite put their finger on, but nevertheless it is there.   If you don't have a craving, you are not a vampire.
