Fall Back Means Vampires Are Coming Out Of The Coffin

Daylight saving time might go back to the first world war when electricity and power weren’t abundant but still something we practise in many countries to this day. But it means something entirely different for people like me.

This Is Not A History Class

When it’s time to ‘Fall Back,’ I get quite excited. It’s not because of the one more hour of sleep illusion, but because there will be less daylight. Society targets people like me when most agree that the sun is the main power for humankind as we function better and see better, including Vitamin D and E.

For as long as time, humankind progressed in daylight. It’s a general consensus that society made it ‘normal’ for people to work during the day and sleep at night. Not aware of places where daylight is less abundant all year round and is home to many people. Of course, those places are situated toward the poles but exist and are welcoming.

Vital The Scary Drink Coming Soon

VitaL is comparable to any fruit punch juice manufactured by VitaL Tech. Initially, it was created by Bernabé Lavoie in the summer of 2015. The drink comes in a black opaque old-fashioned bottle and will soon be available.

A Scary Drink

Keep your eyes peeled for the new fright. When VitaL hits the shelves, it might become the most high-water mark for the unexplainable paranormal encounters which happened lately.

Furthermore, when Gothic Bite Magazine launched in March of 2018, our determination was to look out for strange meetings and witnesses with obscure stories.

Alleged Vampire Witch

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

Debunking History

Throughout human history, the word vampire spread around the world since the dawn of humankind. Legends and myths from different civilizations nowhere near connected, share the same type of creature. Originally meaning: forceful bite, in my cultures, the creature itself seems to share common grounds. Its number one being the taste for blood.

We can blame the existence of vampires on the lack of knowledge around the deceased. Often people that were dead were accused of vampirism. Recently deceased people would show blood around their mouths, bloating, blush, and growth of hair and nails.

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.

The Loss of Lorraine Warren

‘”Free will” is one of the most precious gifts we have. To give it over to peer-pressure, psychics, or a dependency on drugs and alcohol is dangerous and an incredible waste.” — Lorraine Warren

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.

Through the Fire and the Flames – Notre Dame

“I wanted to see you again, touch you, know who you were, see if I would find you identical with the ideal image of you which had remained with me and perhaps shatter my dream with the aid of reality.” — Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame

1831 to 1996

My introduction to the Cathedral of Notre Dame was when I was a child; it was in the dark of a movie theatre and to a score that is to this day unbeatable in my mind.

To see Disney’s version of the Victor Hugo classic The Hunchback of Notre-Dame was astounding and much more relatable in the changed times since the 1831 release of the book.

Ring The Bells of Notre Dame

Today a chapter of history burned in flames. A chapter no one ever thought would end in fire. The landmark in the renovation, the roof engulfed in fire bringing with it its southern tower. No one knows if it is salvageable, people weep the loss of a part of its history.

This article is not a journalistic piece, and it is not a typical blog post from Gothic Bite Magazine. It is a bit small specter of history mixed with my emotional state at the view of Notre Dame in flames.

Cries & Fire

The medieval French Gothic building represents a monumental era of humankind history. It is a French landmark like no others. No other church has the historic Notre Dame has like no other building has these Romanesque towers and rose window looking over its people.

The Real Witchcraft

Not long ago, Gothic Bite Magazine asked for people to share their paranormal stories with us. Some of you answered the call and now, here are some of your stories…

I Knew Better

It was the summer of 96 or better referred to as “The Summer of Hell.” I can’t help but to blame myself; after all, I’ve watched plenty of horror movies to know all the basic rules, but even then I ignored the most important one.

I was young and curious. So attracted to anything horror. I played with a spirit board by myself, and if that wasn’t enough, I had chanted spells that I found in a spell book written in another language.

Us The Indie Community

In this social media era and indie author world, it is hard for writers to make their brand stay and it’s even harder to get noticed. However, there’s a place on Facebook where one can!

Likes, Join & Follows

Have you noticed how hard it is nowadays to get a “Like” on Facebook or get someone to “Join” your FB group or even “Follow” your page? It is quite hard as an indie author, artist, musician and any independent profession.

That’s because of the algorithm factor. Facebook has now paid advertisement, and that is hurting many of us independent and freelance people. Not only does Facebook hide promotional posts from “Professional Pages” they also hide the indie community when they pay for advertisement favorizing those who pay more.

Vampire Writing

Writing is one thing, choose the subject is another. Alexa Wayne writes about horror and vampires are the biggest part of it!

Start At The Beginning

When I was a very young child, I remember watching Sesame Street and my favorite character beside Oscar The Grouch was The Count.

I learned how to count with The Count! I like his appearance, accent which today might be seen as a little offensive. However, I believe my obsession with vampires started from that moment.
