  9. What are peoples theories? • If our nerves send stronger more efficient faster signals; it could make us move faster, make us more smarter, more observant, and have sharper reflexes. This may result in pain receptors working harder; which would make us more sensitive to heat (the sun) and loud noises. • Blood gets transferred to the brain and muscles causing paleness and muscles to become strong

  10. My Personal Opinion • I believe that Vampires do exist. • Firstly, There has been lots of stories; some of them could be true. • Secondly, The stories go back along time, and back then lots of people believed in them. • Finally, If our brain sends stronger and faster signals; it could make us like a vampire.
