The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I hope this hasn't been covered, but this is a post on speculation and fact based on vampire-related serial killers or just murderers. Non fiction ones. (the title quote from Ted Bundy whose teeth marks were one of the principle pieces of evidence leading to his conviction.)

"Richard Trenton Chase, who became known as the ‘Sacramento Vampire,’ began by killing animals and drinking their blood, eating birds alive and injecting himself with rabbit blood. His schizophrenia saw him in and out of mental institutions until 1976, but in January 1977 he went on a four-day murder spree, killing six people and drinking their blood. After the killings, he took various parts of their bodies with him to gnaw on later. On 26 December 1980 Chase was found dead in his prison cell; he had committed suicide by hoarding three weeks’ worth of medication and taking it all in one dose."

Erzebet Bathory is probably the most well known of the bunch to anyone interested in vampire history at all (second only to Vlad the Impaler). As is Gilles de Rais.

"In 2001, a German couple named Daniel and Manuela Ruda murdered Daniel’s co-worker and friend, named Frank Hackert, age 33. They stabbed him 66 times, hit him with a hammer and drinking his blood. They also had sex in Manuelas coffin and on top of the corpse. They claim to have acted on the devil’s orders. The said they chose their victim because he was “so funny and would be the perfect court jester for Satan.”During their trial, they acted completely without remorse, threatening witnesses and flashing satanic symbols. Daniel Ruda was committed for 15 years and his wife for 13."

"Tracey Wigginton (born 1965) is a murderer who achieved notoriety for killing a man in Brisbane, Queensland - Australia, in 1989 for biting off his genitals and drinking his blood to fulfil her need to ‘feed’ She has been notoriously known as One of Queensland’s most sadistic murderers under the name of the “vampire killer”. When tired, Wigginton claimed to be a vampire who needed to feed on human blood. For some time before the murder, she had been drinking the blood of her lesbian lover, Lisa Ptaschinski. On the night of the murder, Wigginton, Ptaschinski and two other women lured a 47-year old man, Edward Baldock, to a park on the banks of the Brisbane River, scrashing him to death. There, Wigginton stabbed him multiple times and then drank his blood. In 1991 she was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Supreme Court of Queensland. In spite of some savage demonstrations of violence and ferocity against other prisoners, she has been well noted and she has begun to study literature and is about to be graduate. Tracey Wigginton was released from prison on 11 January 2012."


anyone else know of interesting cases?

There have been many, one incident was when a young man became obsessed with the film queen of the damned and he then murdered someone. He claimed that Akasha or whatever her name was, spoke to him and told him to do it.

Fritz Haarmann

Also known as the Vampire of Hanover or The butcher of Hanover, this German serial killer is believed to be responsible for at least 27 murders, and was convicted of 24. Although his criminal career began in 1898 (for molesting children) and later came to include assault, petty theft and burglary, his first known murder did not take place until September of 1918.

From September of 1898 to June of 1924, he would go on to rape, murder and butcher at least 27 youths (spanning from ages 10 to 22). He killed many of his victims by biting through their throats. He sold personal belongings acquired from his victims, and reportedly sold their flesh on the black market, although this may just be a rumor.

Haarmann is considered one of Germany’s most prolific killers, both for the number of victims and the extremely grisly nature of his crimes. He was guillotined, on April 15, 1925. His last words were: “I repent, but I do not fear death.”

His head was preserved in a jar by scientists so they could study his brain, and is now at Gottingen medical school.

John George Haigh

John George Haigh (July 24, 1909 — August 10, 1949), nicknamed the Acid Bath Murderer and The Vampire of London was an English serial killer during the 1940s.

First arrested in England in 1949, Haigh confessed to the murder of nine people. He claimed he hit them over the head, opened an artery in their throats, and drank the blood to make him feel better.

He was convicted of the murders of six people, dissolving their bodies in sulphuric acid before forging papers in order to sell their possessions and collect substantial sums of money. He acted under the mistaken belief that police needed a body before they could bring a charge of murder. He was convicted through forensic evidence and executed.

In 2002, Nicolae Mihut, living in Transylvania, believed that his mother, who had just died, had become a vampire. A local priest had warned him about the signs: a cat had jumped over her coffin that day, and her cheeks and lips were quite red. Mihut knew that, to release her soul, he had to stab her with a silver knife, either in the chest or the stomach. So he plunged the dagger into her heart. He knew he had done the right thing when he heard a long sigh escape her. Then she became pale. That made everyone involved feel better, and she was buried.

HahHahahahaha...so funny people still believe in such trifling Tom foolry, the darkness is way more testing and pervasive, and not as judgy and final as Hollywood types would have one believe....most serial killers are darknetwork social climbers trying to fit a role for a film part they do not understand, their ghoulish efforts are actually quite sad...

P.s.Boooh...

Did you analyze the word "serial" and the word "killer". Mean, these people are serial as what they do, at the time of committing the crime. The euphoria of blaming the darkness, only exist after they get cut. Easy way to get a lower sentence in the eye of the law. The brain of these humans, are always proved, to be play a major role in committing the crime. Deceases of the mind are not easy to understand, until we get the perpetrator.

What amazes me is that many of these violent disturbed killers get out of prison within a short period of time (in Europe and Australia; not in the US).
WTF?
