Vampire People Pt.1

A vampire is a being from folklore that subsists by feeding on the vital force of the living. In European folklore, vampires were undead beings that often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighborhoods they inhabited while they were alive. — Wikipedia

Greek, Polish, Egyptian…

The vampire has gone by many different names. In Greek, they are called Vrykolakas. In Czech upir, Upeer. The Polish called these creatures of the night Wampir. Myths and legends the world over have given these creatures name since the beginning of time.

Creatures that take the blood of the living to survive dated back into Greek Mythology. Also, people rising from the dead to walk among the living. Well, we need only go back to the Bible itself for such legends.

Vampires Donating Blood

Blood: the red liquid that circulates in the arteries and veins of humans and other vertebrate animals, carrying oxygen to and carbon dioxide from the tissues of the body. It is also Life.

Red Cross Call

According to the American Red Cross, approximately thirty-two thousand pints of blood are used each day in the United States. One pint can save up to three lives.

With a shelf life of just forty-two days, blood is always in demand. The Red Cross counts for about forty percent of the nation’s blood donations.

Planning A Haunted Vacation

Every summer I go on a trip somewhere in the United States. How do I pick my location or the best beaches, sun, fun, and cuties? Don’t be silly. I look for haunted locations of course.

A Different Vacation

Every summer I go on a trip somewhere in the United States. How do I pick my location or the best beaches, sun, fun, and cuties? Don’t be silly. I look for haunted locations of course.

I’ve been doing this for years. Sometimes the trips are simple one-day excursions. Sometimes the adventure takes a few days if I can match my fascination with haunted and history together all the better!

This year I’m making some recommendations to anyone out there who might want to travel and get their ghostly experiences on. This list is by no means an impartial list. I have my favorite places, and I have reasons why they are my favorites. Look at it as GBM’s Travel Channel to do list!

Haunted Locations

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania: A more than one day kind of trip. If you go in July be prepared to be overwhelmed by tourist. The haunts are best in May and June.

Great New England Vampire Panic

Along with all my other quirks and unique aspirations I am working towards a doctorate in American History. The real history of America is not something read in textbooks and vampires are a part of it.

Supernatural Superstitions

Often it’s hidden from sight. The victors write history; the ugliness washed away. I found this tidbit of history and I thought my vampire fans out there might enjoy.

In the early years of American history, New England was full of superstitions about the supernatural. The church spread fears of evil which lead to the witch trials so famously diluted in our history books. Vampires were rumored to roam New England’ rural communities by night with reports documented as early as 1793.

The Smurl Haunting

If you happen to be passing through the small sleepy town of West Pittston Pennsylvania, you probably won’t notice the half a double tucked back into the narrow sides streets.

It’s red and white panneled faded; it’s neighbors all too close for comfort in what was once a coal thriving community.

However, if you do, if you happen to travel that way you might find yourself standing in front of what is rumored to be a very haunted house.
