Before I can answer your question I feel that I have to give you a little back-ground information on the existences of vampires................ First-off the Holy Bible makes it clear that vampires and werewolves and other paranormal creatures do exist period, Also the bible told us that Lilith was supposedly a demonic vampire that is even feared by people even until this day and age.......... Another strange point is that a female who was someone who was very close to Bram Stoker had died in a very strange manner, For it was right after that person death and how that person died is what inspired Bram Stoker to write the book called Dracula................ Now was Dracula a real person, The real answer is yes, Now was this Prince of Romania a real vampire well his body did disappear in a very strange manner and all the Priest found in his casket were the bones of a dog................... Which means that certain truths about how did Dracula died will forever remain unknown.............. .. So was the the real person that was called Dracula a real vampire Well the real truth is the Priest that lived with that prince are not talking and their records about Dracula are very well hidden from the general public even until this day and age.................... So the best thing that anyone can say about Dracula in today's world is we don't really know the whole truth about Vlad The Impeller............................
Vladimir Tepes is a Romanian hero. He defended that country from Turkish invaders. He is know as "Vlad the Impaler" because he used to impale his enemies on stakes. Other countries gave him a bad name, but, his people thought he was a hero, and many in Romania still do.
It was his apparent meanness that made him the subject of the novels about Count Dracula (Vlad Tepes' title). So, he was a real man, and his descendant, also a "Count Dracula" still exists. However, he was not a vampire.
Great national hero to the Romanians and Hungarians for repulsing the Turks,
Vlad Tzepesh Dracul was voyevod ("war prince") of Wallachia in the 15 century.
Tzepesh (the impaler) - he earned this name for the main punishment he metted out to criminals and traitors
Dracul (the dragon) - this was because he was leader of "The Order of the Dragon" - an order of knights dedicated to defense of the Church and Christendom.
Count Dracula was a vampire created by Braham Stoker with some very minor references to the historical Vlad Dracul.
These couple of minor lines in the book were made more and more integral to the character as the movie character of Dracula developed multiple lives of his own.
Dracula, the vampire from the book by Bram Stoker, did not exist. There are no such things as vampires - they are a scientific and medical impossibility.
The historic figure that served as Stoker's inspiration, Vlad Tepes, was a real warrior prince that gained a reputation as a bloodthirsty tyrant and the nickname "the Impaler" on account of his favorite method of executing enemies, criminals, even his own people. He once impaled so many that the killing field was thought to resemble a forest of grisly trees. He died, was buried, and most certainly did not become a "vampire".
No, he was not. He was based on a real guy, Prince Vlad of Wallachia, but the key word is based on. Prince Vlad couldn't walk on the ceiling or turn into a bat, didn't sleep in a coffin or explode in sunlight. He was one nasty and violent sumbittch, but so was everyone else in those days.

There have been various attempts to ascribe to Bram Stoker's character an historical pre-cursor. None of them very convincing.
Yes. http://www.donlinke.com/drakula/vlad.htm
nope dracula was not real
He was said to be based upon clad the impaler
tradition has it there was a person in Hungary who had a medical condition that spawned the story
