I don't have my "Time of Thin Blood" books with me, so here's some Dhampire links for you. There isn't much non-Castlevania, RavenLoft, or Vampire Hunter D info out there. I was only able to find a handful of White Wolf related info about Dhampirs, and next to nothing about Dhampire Legends.

In legend, Dhampires are the offspring of a dead man and his living wife. See, some people come back after death. They aren't dead, they aren't alive, they just exist in some netherworld of living deadness. And they're horny. So, the dead men would visit their wives and have sex, and often she'd get pregnant with a half-not-dead child, the Dhampire. Traditionaly, Dhampires can see and sense Vampires and other Evil Spirits, and can kill them. Some traditions state that Dhampires can let other people see the evil spirits if they look through the Dhampire's shirt sleeve, but the person might die or get scurvy or something. Go figure.
