A new born kid in Mauritius has long hairs and two vampire like teeth and talks! Better still he asks his mom to give him BLOOD to drink because he will not drink milk!! And worst the new born infant talks and predict that there are yet another 10 like him to be born in the world soon!Look like a Christopher Pike story book? Well no! This is actually true in Mauritius! Well it is true among the many illogical irresponsive minds here in Mauritius! Since the past week there is a rumor in Mauritius about a suppose to be vampire born infant from a couple at Pointe Aux Piment Mauritius.

From what I am hearing from EVERYONE since yesterday is that the newspaper Le Dimanche reported that

No.

Good grief.  []

As a parent I can confirm that chidren do not develop the ability to drain your life force until they are 14. And even then not unless their friends are doing it...

I suppose he'll be turning into a bat shortly and be flying off to find a donor for his next meal.............Give me a break!

I have two vampire like teeth. Mwhaamwhaahaahaa

This story is BS
however there are medical conditions which may explain vampire myths e.g. Porphyria

Porphyria has been suggested as an explanation for the origin of vampire and werewolf legends, based upon certain perceived similarities between the condition and the folklore

The photo of the child has also been placed there. Apparently many people who live in the neighborhood of the child say that they actually heard him talk.  []

I wonder if it is scientifically possible that a child of one week old to talk  []

[Chemistry4me]

Talk and make noises which happen to sound like words are two different things.

No way.

The parent's wouldn't be looking for the odd few $'s for their story, would they?

[Chemistry4me]

Surely not.

[lyner]

Isn't the most likely explanation that the child was actually born some time ago and just 'appears' to be that age?

[Chemistry4me]

Nope, sensible reasoning is not allowed here.

[Don_1]

Maybe she was born with, maybe its Maybelline!

[Chemistry4me]

Because she's worth it.

[Yomi]

Not worth enough for the two tusks

[lyner]

Nope, sensible reasoning is not allowed here.

Sorry, I'll go away.
I should know better.

[Chemistry4me]

You should think thrice next time you decide to venture here.

[Daerana]

It looks like it's been photoshoped.  Big time.  I think it's a load of propaganda rubbish.

[Chemistry4me]

No way! I think you've forgotten that sensible reasoning is not allowed here.

[Daerana]

No way! I think you've forgotten that sensible reasoning is not allowed here.

Of course, I thought I was on another forum that I'm a member of. Silly me!

Well then, in that case, it looks very real and definatly true. []
