Unlike vampires of legend, psychic vampires aren't the blood sucking undead. They are very much alive, but thrive off of the energy of the people around them.

Religion & Spirituality > New Age Concepts Testimonies: Deja vu experiences: 1 of 5

Deja Vu is something that I experience on a weekly basis. I can't say why or how it works, but deja vu is just another weird thing in my life.
