The existence of vampires on our Earth is an argument similar to the existence of God. Whilst many will dismiss them as purest fiction, there are others who would argue that the idea of a vampire as it is portrayed in fiction must have originated from some degree of truth. It is also argued that whether you believe vampires exist or not is dependent on your definition of them. For example, if you see a vampire someone with super strength and the ability to transform into a small winged mammal at will, then you probably don't believe in their existence, but if your view of a vampire is more of a person with photosensitive vision and skin, enlarged canine teeth and dark eyes then yes, they do exist.
An important part of the argument is belief. Just because a person does not believe in something does not necessarily mean it does not exist. There are thousands of people who will argue that vampires do exist in real life as they do in books, and without proof or disproof it is impossible to know for certain. In fact, even scientific proof depends on a person's believing in it for it to be upheld as truth in the first place.
It is entirely possible that vampires do exist in our world, but it is equally possible that our modern societies will never come into contact with them, or truly learn of their existence. For the time being, there are plenty of writers and artists who seem content with popularising the legends!
