About Damien Daville



Greetings..

I am a 48 year old primarily empathic vampire now living near the Austin area of Texas in the States. I also like elemental sources and am a sanguine vampire with the right donor. I first learned of my vampirism as a teen in high school around 1970, and have developed it's needs and abilities ever since. I have worked in some way helping others understand real vampirism for about thirty years. I came to the internet about 1995 and worked online in the few vamp forums around. I founded the Darkfear Network in early of 1997 and then the Vampire Church in 1998. I also founded Web Alliance. In 2001 I founded the Texas Vampire Association to better bring real vampires together in the State of Texas. I spend most of my time now working in the offline vampire community and in the public helping other people to understand real vampirism. The Vampire Church is active both online and offline.

Question: Do you feel that revealing and teaching about your vampirism online is easier than doing so in the offline world? In your experience, is it difficult to find others near you who are afflicted with vampirism?

Greetings..

I do much of my work in communities offline such as organizing meetings, doing workshops and classes, and doing interviews with the public. I have found that the face to face contact is much easier for me to explain my vampirism and teach it to others as I have learned it in the past thiry years. The online world is useful to bridge the distance among people, but I have found that it is more difficult and sometimes cumbersome to explain the subject to people from a keyboard than the face to face experiences I have had where conversation can flow smoothly especially with the contact you have with someone who is in front of you. I have found the internet to be a great way to find other people with real vampirism. This is why I started the Organization of the Vampire Church and gave it an online presence. The Vampire Church also works offline in a lot of ways through the work I do offline. So the internet has helped me find real vampires near me, especially through an Organization I founded called The Texas Vampire Association, or TVA which helps people to find each other through the internet and then helps network people for meetings in communities where they live near each other.

Dark regards..
