by Konstantinos

Tales of mysterious blood drinkers & life-stealing phantoms have fascinated & terrified people from all over the world for centuries. What is the truth behind the legends of the undead? For the first time ever, here is convincing evidence that vampires really exist- & that the actual truth about vampires is stranger than anything you may have read, heard or dreamed about! Vampires: The Occult Truth contains first-hand accounts of encounters with vampires & vampirism of all types-the ancient undead of folklore, contemporary mortal blood drinkers who believe themselves to be vampires, & the most dangerous of all: psychic vampires who intentionally drain the life force from their victims. Vampires is the first book to consider vampires from an occultists point of view, & to present solid esoteric theories to explain their existence. Youll read case histories of real modern & historical contacts with vampires & victims of vampirism-including those personally encountered by the author himself- & youll learn a simple yet powerful technique that will protect you from attacks by psych.
