I had a couple classmates that pretended to be vampires back in elementary and middle school. They’d pretend their Koolaid was blood, complain about the sunlight, and bite their friends a lot. Not enough to draw blood, though. I haven’t kept up with most of them, but one guy is a teacher now. He seems pretty normal.

Not so much supernatural, but a few in the less socially-included clique thought of themselves as rats. Grew nails long, scurried about, and most weirdly - hung out and ate lunch in the bathroom. It went on for a few years, well into sixth form, and ended up requiring a prefect to patrol the bathrooms at breaktimes to make sure they weren’t up to anything.

Oddly enough, I haven’t heard anything about them in school-reunion-type chatter.

I wonder how many of the people mentioned in this thread feel cringe at their actions if they were reminded of how they used to act.

Ha ha, wow. I was disciplined for wearing SUNGLASSES in school. No way I would have been able to go full goth back in the early 1990s, let alone pretend to be a vampire.

No one did stuff like that when I was in school. That may have more to do with how long ago I was in school, or just the part of the US I went to school in lol

One of the punk girls bit me on the nipple when I was a senior in highschool in 1998. That was apparently her thing

Does that count?

I had a friend in primary school who, whenever challenged would go all raptor. Complete with a high pitched squawk and pretending to gut you with his claw. Then would walk away like nothing happened.

I have to admit, I did not expect to run across a post like this! I thought I was the only one with this experience as I have never heard anyone share anything remotely similar to what I remember.

I was friends/neighbors with a kid when we were in elementary school and that is almost all he talked about. We spent many hours debating (as best we could as 4th graders, haha) the unlikelihood that he was actually a vampire and he would always end up leaving me questioning if maybe, just maybe, he really was. He had elaborate backstories for why he was here and why his parents moved to my hometown and how their life and existence was different from everyone else. He also took great lengths to explain away doubts I had about what I knew of vampires and their limitations from movies. He was very convincing and I never truly knew if he was lying or not.

He moved away shortly after and I never heard from him again. I always attributed it as some form of attention seeking or making up for a lack of something (he was not a super popular kid). But I always admired his imagination.

The part that still strikes me as strange is that this was well before the Twilight vampire craze age. So I’m not really sure where the idea came from.

One of my friends has claimed he is half human half wolf since I've known him. And he never stopped. We've long graduated school.

In pre school my twin sister and her friends thought they were fairies when they argued for example they would make up stories about each other being evil fairies and stuff like that lots of funny drama what's embrassing to me is that they got me believeing in it too, fun stuff

A guy i went to high school with wasn't vampire. But he was a "Psychic Vampire Hunter" who hunted and protected people from Psychic Vampires. Basically it would be other guys he didn't like he would deem as Psychic Vampires. Guys who had gfs basically lol.

I think he's a Sub teacher these days last i heard.
