Celtic is correct.. there are those who have the condition Porphyria there are also Sanguinarian's and Psi's ( also known as Psi-Vamps ) out there. Some times the goth role players get mixed into these groups and it is hard to tell the real ones from the role players.. ( you think the Goreans are a cliquish lot.. ha!) and then you get hybrids who use both Sang and Psi in which to "feed" or get sustance. We are not even going to get into "other kin" here.
As I often quote... " There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, Then are dreamt of in your philospphy" People are very quick to dismiss things they know very little about or do not wish to know about.
Sanguinarians for the most part ( I am not the approved spokesperson mind you) feel that there is a life force and energy in the blood its self. There fore when they consume it, ( In the Society it is only acceptiable to consume from a willing Donor. Donors are usualy a Partner, or someone you have a commitment to of some sort...) they are partaking of that life force, and power with that person. Many in the society are against actualy biting.. and many safety measures are taught on how to carefuly take blood from a donor. Donors are generaly very well taken care of, looked after and protected. All in all it is very akin to D/s in many ways. Psi's have thier own little niche... They believe that every one has energy that can be obtained either through touch, or through drawing it out with out touch. Some prefer different types of energy. Sexual, saddness, anger, fear, happiness... Some will search out donors who exhibit these things.. or some will go about to cause these things in those near them so they can feed. ( that is where it can be ickie) Some believe in having consenting donors.. some feed off of crowds.. some off of individuals who have no idea. Some Psi's do not realize thier feeding patterns untill someone points it out to them. ( some do not even realize they are a Psi ) We have all met those people who just suck the energy out of a room... or brighten up a room simply by walking into it. That is a good sign they are prob. a Psi. It is decently frequent you will get a rogue Psi in a group or area that needs to learn about consentual donorship. *smiles* Generaly the groups police thier own.
There have been long debates on the benifits or downfalls of being a Sang. or Psi. As well as that of a Donor. As for turning into a bat, flying.. turning into mist or smoke.. I would have to say I have not seen any of that manifest personaly with any one I have come across.
I hope this explains and helps a bit.

In regards Psi vamps...it should be stated that Einstein stated that energy moves everything around us, and is very relevant in everything that we do.
Not saying I believe in one way or the other...the idea is romantic and fascinating, but....in truth....I dont think we will ever know.
