When I lived in California, I met a few individuals who claimed to be vampires. This was well before the Twilight series became popular, but vampires have been hip for awhile.
I came to discover there is an actual illness known as porpheria which slows aging, causes sensitivity to sunlight, and causes a craving for blood, especially human blood.
Some of those claiming to be vampires were afflicted with this disease, and others were not. I found there are clubs where they go to suck the blood of willing partners. Some of them must cover their skin during the day or suffer horrible sunburns from brief exposure. They also wear sunglasses to protect their eyes.
So, are vampires real? Yes. They don't turn into bats or have sparkly skin or run faster than a wolf, but they do drink human blood, age slowly (until the final stage) and have a dark side bred by popular culture.
