I noticed that this article contained no external sites operated by those claiming to be vampires, so I added two. Shouldn't they have been there to begin with? Checking out the sites is far easier than tracking down the books that were mentioned. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Asa Hearts ( talk • contribs) 03:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC).
We need to be more specific on beliefs, such as the fact wearing copper bracelets increases one's energy flow.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.253.237.200 ( talk)
The following list was recently removed from the article. It is being posted here to preserve the information for anyone intererested in seeing it in the future.

Energy Vampirism in Fiction
I removed the opening phrase, "In New Age terminology..." because it is misleading. I already have a book written by 1925, published in 1928, that describes the energy vampire. Manly P. Hall's The Secret Teachings of All Ages, page CIII: "Realizing that life is maintained by the aid of a mysterious universal life force which is the common property of all creatures, the black magician often becomes an occult vampire, stealing this energy from others." Paracelsus cited non-human entities, Larvae, which draw vital energy from creatures, etc. Lisa the Sociopath 21:37, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Sadly "energy vampire" is usually used to refer to someone who is depressed. It gives a spiritual sounding excuse to walk away from a friend in need "After his mother died he turned into an energy vampire, I had to leave him for my spiritual well being". Think about it this is the way the term is usually used. The "selfish sunny day" spirituality movement, the sort of "enlightenment" that falls flat on its face the first time it encounters something hard in life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.234.209.50 ( talk) 21:46, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Citation is needed for a book that details a link between empathy and feeding on life force. The Unbeholden ( talk) 09:10, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
