True Living Vampires, inter-alia could be identified as another category of vampires who are living human beings or historical true characters, suffering from a blood fetish or an infatuation or an obsession to drink or suck blood from their victims. In their psychosis or syndromic mentality, they cannot survive without drinking blood, mostly human blood. In the modern medical terminology, this category of vampires is supposed to be suffering from an ailment called "Haematomania" or in other words, "Clinical Vampirism" which syndrome could be explained as a morbid psychosexual desire to consume human blood. According to the research carried out by the writer, such vampires were/are found throughout the history of many countries and have become true living people known by their associates, neighbours and the law enforcement authorities. Consequently, most of them are accused of raping, sodomizing, mutilating and finally murdering their victims and as a result, eventually condemned to death, to life imprisonment, to certain terms in prison or confined to mental asylums/ institutions. Most of these vampires have been classified as "Serial Killers" both in the West and in the East.
