Vampires Staked - Amazing Tale...

Yes, I often find a jaunt on an internet chat group to be just the ticket after a bit o' the ol' hammer 'n tongs with a gaggle o' the undead. It's the nerves, y'see. Aye, it's true.:)
 
Fake vampire hunter

Yes, he's a well-known publicity seeker who parades as a Bishop of his own autocephalous church, and 'moonlights' as a 'professional vampire hunter.' When pushed as to how many vampires he's staked, he mysteriously dodges the question, and proceeds to insult the questioner, thereby covering his tracks. The 'vampire' picture in his book 'The Highgate Vampire' bears a striking resemblance to himself; so much so, that I think they're related. A link to the book is provided in the second of the weblinks above.

I have yet to see real evidence of the vampires he claims to have despatched.

Ugh, I just had a shower before going through your second link and now I need another. Blech, what a mountain of crap. I need to go watch 'Fright Night' and laugh it off.
 
He sometimes gets wheeled out by UK television if they feel they need to do something Halloweeny. He's clearly as mad as a bag of hammers. I seem to remember a website that debunked him to some extent, inasmuch as that was even necessary!
 
Yet there must be a way to distinguish vampire dust from regular old dust, right? It just stands to reason... :D
 
Well, some legends do say that putting the dust in contact with blood will bring the vampire back to (un)life.
 
Yes, they're all a bunch of blinking loonies, but if I had to choose one over the other I'd say that Manchester was the biggest nutter of all. He really believes that he staked a blood-sucking vampire in Highgate cemetery and has made himself a fortune by living out his fantasy. I've been to Highgate cemetery and there's nothing more vampire-like than the mosquitos that bite after sundown.

Hmmm.

So, what you're saying is that mosquitos are the un-dead! Oh, for the froin of lavin, I need a million teeny tiny wooden stakes!

It's all just a big blinkin' ad, designed to sell books and whatnot... targeting a very specific audience.

Wow...

Patsy- what's the take on vampires at Healthypages? I don't recall the subject coming up. (Mind you, I only tended to read the science bits).

I think the Hammer Horror films have pretty well driven a stake through the whole vampire notion in the west. Sexing it up in "Buffy" seems to have made it even more ridiculous. People who are convinced of the reality of spirits seem more likely to scoff at the notion of the "traditional" vampire. (Maybe it's the opera cloak and bad haircut).
I'm a big fan of Otto Chriek , myself.

Is it just Manchester you consider daft, or the whole "undead" concept?
Given your acceptance of ghosts / spirits, I'm curious.

Now honestly, all of you, everyone knows there's no such thing as vampires. This "Manchester" character was obviously paid by the New World Order to spread disinformation. He's talking about vampires to draw our eyes away from their schemes to raise a zombie army! :eek:
 
Vampire watermelons

Vampire watermelons are a folk legend from the Balkans, in southeastern Europe. The story is associated with the Roma people of the region, who originated much of vampire folklore among other unusual legends.

The belief in vampire watermelons is similar to the belief that any inanimate object left outside during the night of a full moon will become a vampire. According to tradition, virtually any kind of melon or pumpkin kept more than ten days or after Christmas will become a vampire, rolling around on the ground and growling to pester the living. People have little fear of the vampire melons because of the creatures' lack of teeth. *

Yep Lothian, I do believe in ghosts, but I think even ghosts would have a job in their hands, trying to track down the numerous vampires he's supposed to have staked! Ha ha! No, I categorically don't think that out-of-the-coffin-go-for-the-jugular vampires exist. It's all myth.

Sam - no talk of vampires on HP at the moment. I might open up a new topic for it....thanks.

Patsy, not a bait, not a flame, nor an attempt to incite trouble but what exactly do you believe a ghost by nature is? Sorry if you've heard that a mill.
