General Information & Background:
The Vampirism & Energy
Work Research Study is a detailed

community
conducted by Suscitatio Enterprises, LLC. Two surveys were
released in 2006 that were answered by nearly 950 individuals from all
paths within the vampire community and throughout the world. The
first
was the Vampire & Energy Work Research Survey (VEWRS) with 379
Questions in March 2006; and the second was the Advanced Vampirism
& Energy Work Research Survey (AVEWRS) with 688 Questions in August
2006. From 2006 to 2009 a combined response total (VEWRS & AVEWRS)
reached over 1,450 surveys or over 670,000 individually answered
questions; making it the largest and most in-depth research study ever
conducted on the real vampire/vampyre community or subculture.

Is
vampirism a condition that exists outside of folklore and film? Are
there real living people who psychically feed on human life force — or
even on blood? What is the source of these supernatural hungers? The
Atlanta Vampire Alliance ( http://www.atlantavampirealliance.com) has the answers. Formed in 2005, the AVA is a
research group devoted to the modern condition of vampirism — but
Dracula would never recognize these vampires as kin. The vampires of
the AVA are living human beings, often psychic, who have a need for the
life force of others, and they have come together as a group to study
and better understand that need. This is no fly-by-night
venture. The AVA's Vampire and Energy Work Research Survey, circulated
to thousands of self-identified vampires and energy workers around the
world, has hundreds of questions, focusing on everything from an
individual's religious beliefs to the minute details of their medical
history. The AVA's goal is to gather hard statistics about real
vampires — statistics which they hope will ultimately be taken
seriously in an academic context. Part of this goal has already been
achieved. Featured in the recent book, Vampires in Their Own Words, the
AVA has also worked with several individuals attached to colleges as
part of academic research. Most recently, they have started working
with author and fellow Paranormal Insider blogger Rosemary Ellen Guiley
to help add their knowledge to the future re-release of her landmark
work, Vampires Among Us. The ongoing research of the AVA may very well
change the way vampirism is defined.
