Esme looked over at Matt and could tell that he was trying to understand why she was asking such specific questions.  She also noticed that he said hypothetically.<br/><br/>"My question to you is do you believe in creatures of the dark.  You read of these things, but I was wondering if you believed they could exist, creatures of the dark.  You know vampires, werewolves?"  Drinking some more of her tea.  "I actually believe in these things and have seen too many things to question otherwise, I just want to learn about different aspects of their lives."  Esme pointed out very clearly.  "You might think I am crazy, but that is how I feel."<br/><br/>Esme listened to him talk about where he came from and found it interesting when he commented about the haunted mines, "I take it you don't believe in ghosts either?"
