Vampirism is a topic that definitely has entered the attention of Media hounds looking for sensationalism. A lot of it has to do with the rise of Vampire films such as Blade, Blade 2, Interview With The Vampire, Queen of the Damned, Dracula 2000, Shadow of the Vampire and the SciFi program “In Search Of Vampires” which aired on October 4th, and December 22, 2002 just to name a few of the recent ones. I recently had the privilege of being an extra on Dracula2000 and I was featured in the program “In Search Of Vampires” which was filmed while I lived in New Orleans since that time I have moved to Houston. Many of you that come across my site may in fact recognize me from New Orleans where I was the icon for the Haunted History Vampire Tours which I highly recommend. That is enough of my rambling though. Not all of this attention is good as a result of the so-called Vampire Cult Murders and the Colombine shootings. The media tends to lump everyone who drinks blood, wears black, may have vampire books galore in their library under one category that of being a Vampire for the means of sensationalism. Let me tell you right now that is the furthest from the truth. On one’s journey throughout the Internet you will come across many sites dealing with the different aspects of Vampires and what we really are. Only a few sites are actually worth the time it takes to download them, read their information. For exceptions to that take a look at our links page.

One finds that the so called "vampire scene" often overlaps that of the gothic and fetish scene. Although you will find information here dealing with the gothic/fetish scene I personally am not well versed on some of the topics covered under those circles so primarily I will steer away from that scene except where I am personally involved with that scene. I have included sites that deal specifically with the gothic/fetish scene on our links pages. I will stick to topics that I can add my personal insights to from my own life experiences. I will admit at times that I have little tolerance for lifestylers and fakers. If it truly was a lifestyle or a religion as some claim it to be then one could choose to change their lifestyle or religion and therefore no longer be a vampyre. Believe me there are days when I wish it were that simple for being a Vampyre can be both a blessing and a curse. I realize that this will probably get me quite a few hate mails but I want to make it perfectly clear that this site strictly deals with real life problems of sanguinarian/psi vampyres for truly you can not be one without being the other. It is our very nature. If you are a TRUE VAMPYRE you must feed off of blood for you will not survive for long just feeding off of energy whether it be sexual or psychic. Saying that it is also true that you will not survive for long without energy whether it be from sexual or other means if you are a TRUE Vampyre. Blood and energy MUST go hand in hand equally or you will have problems, I know from my own personal life experiences which I will talk about later on. This is not for fakers THIS IS REAL LIFE

You're still here? Great!! Surprised? Well don't be Vampyres do exist but not as they are portrayed in books and movies. Even though I am one I do have a human (mortal) shell like all vampyres do. I don't sleep in a coffin nor do I need to lay on a bed of native soil. I love the night and although you rarely see me during the day I can go about in daylight without fear of burning up into a pile of ash. I haven't turned into a bat or wolf at night although astrally one can take for themselves any form that they choose to. None of my people that I have fed from with their consent have turned into vampyres no matter how many times I fed from them. Most of the time I do actually show up in mirrors and in film just like we all do unless we do not want to. No child has ever become a vampyre by one of us staring at you while you were pregnant.The only thing that distinguishes Vampyres such as myself from other "normal" people is our craving for blood and different forms of energy whether sexual or psychic in nature.

I am a TRUEVampyre that which the Legends are based on. I was born this way not turned. I knew what I am and who I am from the day I was born. Most though do not realize the full extent of who and what they are until age 12-13 I was a exception to the rule. My parents knew as well and accepted it, even though they themselves were not vampyres. They gave me their name as well as gave me the name of who they knew me to be although they made it more modern both names being quite legal. They accepted me as I am completely even though they themselves were not vampyres. May they rest in peace for all eternity! Though I knew what I am and who I am I still was unable to cope with my special abilities and the responsibilities that came with them. I tried denying my nature for several years. I searched through everything I could lay my hands on dealing with Vampires trying to find answers for what I was going through and to establish my own identity. As a result of this "soul search" I have read many books on Vampires ,Werewolves and others, finding some truths but mainly falsehoods into our natures. I have found myself to be quite well-informed on these kindred spirits. I have truly come to grips and no longer in denial of who I am and what I am. I accept the responsibility my nature and abilities entail. I wish to share the knowledge I have gained in this lifetime and others prior to this one. I am open to modern technologies unlike some of us. I have found the Internet a great place to meet others of my kind and to gain any other reasonable information on what we are which proved to be very difficult and hard to come by. For those who trust my recommendations, I have included a list of sites which I feel offer the best help and guidance to real life vampyres.

I have built this site and reestablished my household to work as a forum of information and a place for the exchange of ideas. Those that visit this site who are vampyres themselves or seekers of knowledge might discover that some items or theories are strange or even collide with their personal beliefs or views of life. I do not expect everyone who visits my site to be without prejudice but I do ask that all who enter keep an open mind!!! You have a certain view on life that you use to judge new theories and ideas but that should not stop you from risking some thoughts and ideas about a different view someone else has. I want people to respect me and my way of life just like they themselves wish to be respected. I do not claim that my site is scientific in nature nor do I claim it to be the definitive "Bible"of what we are. I wish to only disclose this information on a subject that is very much a part of every culture of the World, in as reasonable as can be point of view based on my own life experiences and research.

Those who have the same "problems" as myself will probably want to and are encouraged to add their personal experiences for just as there are many races and nationalities of mortals there are many differing life experiences and ideas of true vampyres. One of my main aims and goals of creating this site and reestablishing my Household is to build a information network, to form a community where one can go to when they have questions regarding their own lives or for research purposes.

Let me welcome you to the Lair Of Vlad Tepes / House Of The Dragon.. It is my pleasure to supply you with the most accurate information I have discovered on Vampyres or Vampires based on research and my very own life experiences. My name is Vlad Tepes Knight and this is my House. I have been a Vampyre for hundreds of years. We have existed right along side of human beings for centuries. We are to Night as you are to Day. It is simple. We just live longer. Which is why some of us believe we must hide for they fear the human race will destroy us to learn the secret of our youth. I believe that this is the time when we can come out of hiding without fear. We are Vampyres, and we are here!!!

As the years have gone by my interests have also expanded to include other aspects of the Supernatural World!! Not only am I interested in the Kindred of the Night but also have many other interests as well!! I am a practitioner of Dragon Magick and I have included my

My Lair as well as my House has many rooms and is being renovated so I have provided you a Map to help you along your Journey into my Humble Abode .
