Incredible facts
An American woman has been drinking live human blood for the past 30 years and claims that she has never felt better.
Julia Caples, a 45-year-old mother of two from Pennsylvania, USA, drinks 2 litres of blood every month. She sucks blood from volunteer donors she meets at an occult and other weird store near her home in Wilkes Barre.
“When I eat from a person and drink their blood, I feel stronger and healthier,” Julia said. “I know blood doesn't have much nutritional value from a scientific point of view, but its value may not have been discovered yet.”
She claims that she feels more attractive, has no health problems, and she is experiencing a huge surge of energy.
The woman first became addicted to the taste of blood at the age of 15 during her first kiss, when she suddenly felt an acute urge to bite her boyfriend's lip. Although after that, the boyfriend did not kiss her again, she did not regret what she had done.
Caples met her husband Donald, who had shared her passion for a while. However, after the son was born, the husband decided to give up this habit.
Her 24-year-old daughter Alexi finds her mother's vampirism unpleasant, comparing it to leeches or parasites. However, Caples does not agree with her, as all donors donate their blood voluntarily.
A woman meets with donors online and asks them to take a blood test to make sure they are not carriers of diseases such as AIDS.
Doctors warn that vampirism threatens blood-borne infections. In addition, the human digestive system is not adapted to digest blood.
Vampires in real life
The vampire lifestyle is a subculture based on the modern perception of vampirism. “Real vampires” come primarily from the Goths subculture, but also introduce some elements of sadomasochism. There are forums and other interest groups on the Internet that support this subculture.
There are several types of vampire lifestyles:
Sanguinarians are those who drink blood and are convinced that it is necessary to maintain mental and physical health
Psychic vampires who feed on others' psychic energy
Living vampires believe that vampirism is necessary for spiritual development
Blood donors are people who let vampires drink their blood
